I find that race baiting divisive, don't you?

For two full days the committee met at this city’s Union League Club, under the erratic presiding gavel of the pro-abort state treasurer accordionist.

And Keyes was nominated. I see the hand of God here.

he wants to give blacks freedom from taxes for two generations.

Two years.

Are you opposed to the German people paying reparations to the Jews? IOW, are you opposed to the idea of reparations in principle?

I don't know about Dave S, but I am opposed to forcing people to pay reparations for acts committed by people long dead to people now alive who were not victims of those acts.

Cordially,

Already Obama is trying to renege on a six-debate pledge he gave Jack Ryan. The media are pushing him to debate Keyes all six times.

Obama is running scared.

If Bush was an Illinois voter, he'd be voting for Keyes.

If I were an Illinois voter, I'd do the same.

what about you?

are you a troll?

I agree with the principle, buy Keyes is really talking not of having other people pay but lower some people's taxes.

Keyes' magic of turning 'reparations' into what is in effect a large tax cut (similar to Kemp's 'enterprise zones' idea) is rhetorical brilliance in my mind. How else would you back Jesse Jackson into actually supporting LOWER TAXES???

There's a difference here. It's "tax relief" as opposed to "reparation payments". I know it may still be a little hard to swallow considering it entails discrimination but it may just be a campaign plow. I'd wait awhile and see how this plays out in the debates before jumping to conclusions. Especially, considering Keyes previous position.

To nip any "tax relief" vice "taxpayer subsidy" - money is fungible arguments, I think tax reductions are the path to reduced spending whereas tax subsidies are the road to tax increaseS. Even though, we haven't seen much of that from the current crop of RINOs in the House, the Senate, and YES - THE WHITEHOUSE!

Before I accuse someone of being a troll, I usually do a little homework.

P.S. I voted for Keyes in the 2000 Republican primary. I hope to God Keyes wins. And this November I will be leaving the Presidential candidates slot on the ballot blank.

"Where is the lamestream media on this?"


It's acceptable to be Muslim...as long as Muslims constitute a significant minority. Things would change drastically if Muslims were a much large portion of the population.

I skimmed through the article and didn't catch anything about reparations.

He came out in favor or reparations yesterday. It's on another thread.

You forgot race. As we were informed yesterday, Keyes is blacker than Obama.

Oh yeah and keyes grandparents were slaves while Obammas were servants to the British. Yeah, focusing on the real issues, aint he?

Two years.

HE said a generation or two. That usually runs longer than two years.

Are you opposed to the German people paying reparations to the Jews? IOW, are you opposed to the idea of reparations in principle?

I think the German people should have paid reparations to the Jews just US citizens paid reparations to the Japaneese interned during the war. Those payments, at least in the case of the Japanesse-Americans were paid to the people that suffered the injustice, not to descendents some 150 years or more later. There is no reason that I should pay full reparations when half of my family tree didnt come to this country until fifty years after the Civil War.

Your choice, of course, but how foolish of you. On the other hand, given your highly insulting tagline, I don't think anyone will miss your vote.

Do you ever listen to the man? He is a fool and he will never be elected to dog catcher mush less Senator. He is totally unsuited for the role of politician.

"I will be leaving the Presidential candidates slot on the ballot blank "

For the love of PETE -- WHY???!???

You want this country sold down the river of moral relativism and socialism? You want pro-abortion anti-defense-of-marriage views in the White House? Or the current President, who said marriage is between a man and a woman and who signed the ban on partial birth abortions?
You want the UN to run Kerry's 'sensitive' foriegn policy?
You WANT liberals like Kerry to pick the next 4 supreme court justices and make sure Roe v Wade is the 'law of the land for the next 50 years?

You'll get that we dont get every possible vote for Bush in this very close race.

You want conservatives like Keyes to win? Then support our ALLIES in the arena. United we stand, divided we fall. Vote for the man Keyes is voting for President... PLEASE vote BUSH for President.
