I work at a good paying job, I have a family and we own our own home. I'm not a millionaire but I'm not a parasitic leech on society either.
And I'm not being hateful of Keyes. Keyes, however, put greed ahead of his famous "principles" by allowing a corrupt Illinois Republican party to use him to run for a Senate seat because they knew he'll attract out-of-state dollars. Keyes shouldn't have took the bait, and besides, he's not politician material, IMO. He's better off as a conservative commentator or an appointee.
Fair enough. I'm just a bit annoyed that republicans don't support more conservatives. Maybe not Keyes, but even in my own state, Chuck Schumer got in easy thanks to spineless republicans!
