why do people who don't even live in IL feel such a great need to bash the only conservative Republican in the race? It's freakish.

Because the 17% of Illinois residents who support Keyes are going to cause Illinois two Senatorial seats to be a lost cause for decades. That is two Senate seats that the Republicans nationally have to pick up elsewhere to maintain control and to move towards point where we can shut down filibusters and force votes on Supreme Court nominees and the Bush agenda. A better question is why you have to indulge your fantasies with Keyes rather than run a candidate that would at least keep the state in play.

Are you actually attempting to claim the folks who vote for Keyes will be to blame for the loss of Senate seats?

A better question is "How in the hell can you call yourself a conservative, Dave S?"

Your chosen "player" was someone chased out by the very RINOs of whom you are a part.

Complaining about Keyes "losing" our US Senate seat fall on deaf ears.

If you had a single bone of core principle, you'd be helping keep the state in play by encouraging people to vote for decent values by voting for Keyes.

Get out of here.
