“A real conservative like...Alan Keyes?”

Precisely, and sarcasm is not reasoned rebuttal.

“The magnitude of this win in Mass. is enormous, and only a Scott Brown could have pulled it off.”

I don’t think that’s true at all. I only approved of him because I thought, in my ignorance, that he was a real conservative. I’ll wager I’m not the only one, either.

He won by running as a real conservative, not as a RINO, which means that a real conservative could have won, mutatis mutandis.

“We may have stopped this horrible health care bill and no telling what future Obama policies.”

Yes, but what good does that do us in the long run if we elect representatives like Brown who are “opposed to the health care legislation that is under consideration in the Congress...” (Note the qualifier: He opposes this bill, but not the concept.) ...but who agree with Brown when he says, “In Massachusetts, I support the 2006 healthcare law.”

“Now the 2006 legislation signed into law by then Governor Romney included a provision that required all Massachusetts residents to purchase health issuance, and provided for government funding of abortions (state funded $50 co-pay abortions for those who qualified.),” as Keyes points out.

“We will cut off our nose to spite our face”

By electing pro-abort, pro-sodomite RINOs we cut our noses off for no better reason than an irrational belief that real conservatives can’t be elected.

“Sorry Alan, I am not listening.”

I’m not entirely certain that this is cause for self-congratulation.

OK, then here is a reasoned rebuttal that has already been posted:

Obama: 69.97%
Keyes: 27.05%

Keyes would be lucky to get 40% nationwide. Not even 24 hours and some folks are back in their sackcloth and ashes.
