“If this Keyes guy sucks soooo bad and can’t get 1% why do you even care? “
I’ll start to care when that 1% is the difference between Rudy losing to a real conservative (and there are several in the race) and Rudy winning because the conservative vote got split. Never mind that Tancredo, Brownback, and Hunter have excellent pro-life pro-family records - Alan is the uber-social-conservative to out-conservative these already far right candidates ... As if we have a shortage of fringe candidates with Ron Paul in the race.
Real conservatives have bigger fish to fry than feeding Alan Keyes’ vanity. The Democrats are set to give the “GI-bill-for-illegal-aliens”, raise taxes, and get US defeated in Iraq before its too late and we end up winning. Lets do something about *that*.
Other than the late unpleasantness of 1861-1865, we are in general agreement. I have voted for Keyes in the past but we do NOT need him in this race and he ran an extremely poor race in Illinois for the Senate. I have my disagreements with Oberweis but he would have done a LOT better. In the 2008 race for the nomination, the tedious pile of fringe candidates needs to be substantially culled starting with paleoPaulie.
