Correction: Once a politician wins, he can do anything he wants. Right now Obama is the Trojan horse. We need to get away from those, not encourage them by either voting for them or discouraging their opponents and the allies of their opponents, IMO. If people vote only for a farce, then elections are farce. It is much better to be aware of the things for which candidates will stand and fight as well as the things that will cause them to wilt under the slightest pressure. That way we vote based on the knowledge we have, not the lies they offer us to capture our vote.
Dude, I would vote for Keyes in a heartbeat over Barrack Obama bin Laden. I'M GOP and will always be. It's a shame that so many GOPers in IL don't feel the same. But it is the reality, we should have fielded a better candidate, that is our job and we failed.
