Our politicians will be successful in this election because of that hope. G. W. Bush will be reelected because of that hope.
But in the end, it is not that success which we strive for, but rather the success that will be for us like the success that Moses saw for Israel, when he sat upon the mountaintop, looking into the world he did not live in, but knowing that it would be a world broadly lit by the great sunshine of righteousness because he had given his all to make it so.
This has been the spirit of our party since the beginning. And it shall be the spirit of a great new future for the State of Illinois.
What was that? Jesse Jackson as a Republican?
Well, #19 implied sinkspur thinks Keyes believes he's "the reincarnation of Moses". Where is he getting that idea from?
Moses was just a man God used. I do see how that quite clearly applies to Keyes as well. :-)
P.S. I sincerely hope your great new future for the State of Illinois does not include a Senator Obama.
