OK. I will stipulate that he didn't say Bush was evil.

What he DID say was that Bush sat down to figure out how much evil he could get away with.

Well, that's SO much better, isn't it? I wonder how any of these people would feel if someone said that THEY sat down and tried to figure out how much evil they could get away with?

Bah. I will support Keyes as long as he doesn't start in on attacking President Bush. If he does that (and I will say it is my opinion he will not be able to resist the temptation)I will do everything I can do to drive him from public life.

This is a very close election, and if Keyes starts down the racism path (which I have heard him do) or the "Bush isn't a good president" path (which I have also heard him do) he will draw the attention of the national media. This could cost us critical votes in swing states.

I will be watching the Illinois race carefully. I hope that Dr. Keyes has learned a bit about politics and who is REALLY trying to see how much evil he can get away with: his name is John Forbes Kerry.

Thank you. That's the only point I was trying to make. Certainly Keyes chose his words very foolishly - there can be no disputing that.

Agreed. Keyes needs to attend to his own race, and offer words of support or no words whatsoever with regard to the Presidential election.
