It all seems so unseemly.
The reporter was trying to make him look bad because most reporters do not like social conservatives, especially black ones. You can't be honest in this country or you will make big enemies and the press will eat you alive. The fact that Mary Cheney was already out and a political liability made it easy to answer the question put to Keyes. Keyes did not attack her, that is nonsense, he just made the obvious application of his 'just stated' definition.
I think Keyes would say that his daughter now fits the same definition if he were asked, and then people would attack him for that. Hey, the guy kicked his own daughter out when he realized she was totally unrepentant and a politcal tool for the left, just like Mary Cheney was when he honestly applied his 'just stated' definition. Until his own daughter proved she was not going to be corrected, she was not in Mary Cheney's category. Now she is and Keye's actions were consistant.
Some of you must have some other reason you don't like him, because his actions were consistant. I admit, I just don't like the guy because I just don't like him. Keyes would have lost anyway, because Illinois is a welfare state, but he needs to learn how to be a politician, you have to lie and evade.
Let's stay on track and get the Supreme Court back in good hands. I disagree with Keyes on many things but he was not nearly the tax and spend extremist that Obama is.
