We need a poll to totally understand what's going on at this site. There could be some really strong and educational polling done here. What do we need, a petition? Series...AFE

Is that the FReeper Blue-Dog-Republican Women's brat-pack? Come on...

There is nothing wrong with using CAPS.

I haven't impugned Kesyes' supporter's IQs,called them LIBERALS,nor RINOS (neither of which applies to me or to others who aren't rabid Keyes supporters),or any of the rest of what they've done on this and other threads of late,and for the past four years.

Quite the opposite,in fact. I have,for the most part,been more than calm,factual,logical,proffered factual refutation,and knowledgeable opinion concerning what I know to be the state of a largish swath of the living and dead(because Chicago Dems DO vote the dead;at least once every election)in several heavily populated areas in Ill.

Just keep tying away and soon everyone will understand just how devoid you are of any intellect,scope or breath of ideas,and that you are incapable of an adult discussion.

I participated in a champagne toast today. I think for awhile I had that 'breath of ideas' thing myself.

[ApesForEvolution]

Thanks for your support.

Dane, you should know...there ain't no point wanting for the end of a sentence to make a point because in the end, life's too short...

[nopardons]

Where's the reasoned refutation?

Or do you suffer from Tourettes Syndrome?

[ApesForEvolution]

Would you please do your best to describe U.S. Senate Candidate (R-Il) Amb. Alan Keyes in 3 words or less? Thank you in advance...

[ApesForEvolution]

You would be a Tourettaphobe...figures.

[EternalVigilance]

If she doesn't use spaces, and therefre strings together eighteen words, does that count as one word?

Just trying to get a handle on the rules...

[ApesForEvolution]

Rules? You can't *handle* the rules! lol

[ApesForEvolution]

Which is why I live a very low-key life - you never really know who's really in the trenches and it's scary when you realize who certainly isn't.

[ApesForEvolution]

Tomorrow is a big day for America, Illinois, conservatives, minorities, Republicans and for me personally. G'night and God richly bless y'all!

[EternalVigilance]

I hear ya, man.

[EternalVigilance]

Headin' your direction. See you tomorrow.

I can hear the cries now if I wrote "Finally, a white candidate I can vote for!"

"Finally, a conservative candidate I can vote for!"
(if I lived in Illinois instead of Texas)

"There are reasons those who've worked closest with Alan Keyes want the least to do with him - and, again, those reasons have nothing to do with his politics. Nothing."

You don't know what you're talking about.

I've worked for Dr. Keyes since 1999 and know him personally. He's an amazing person. You can't ask for a finer person to be associated with.

[EternalVigilance]

Amen.

[Nan48]

Hi, EV.

[EternalVigilance]

Hey, friend, good to see ya!

Keyes will certainly be an interesting candidate, and certainly a more viable one than Mike Ditka, but I just can't see how they're going to get around the fact that he is a resident of Maryland. I look forward to hearing how this plays out.
