What makes you think Im not? Keyes is not in my state. He's going to lose. Any money diverted to Illinois is going down the tubes as part of Keyes mastubatory exercise.
As far as bashing another Republican, I would take that charge more seriously if you stood up for the so called RINOs. They are the best that you can expect in a liberal state and they do help the Republicans organize and control congress and thus the agenda.
There are plenty of republicans who are going to lose ... more will lose if you persist in forming a circular firing squad and try to prove us once again to be the 'stupid party'.
"I would take that charge more seriously if you stood up for the so called RINOs. They are the best that you can expect in a liberal state"
oh, not that myth again ... excuse me, but I lived in Illinois ... compare how horribly RINO lynn martin did, versus the 'unwinnable' more conservative Peter Fitzgerald in 1998. RINOs have systematically destroyed the Republican party in several states (New Jersey, Cali, ...), and one of them is Illinois when they put a corrupt RINO up as Guv... he has systematically decimated the Republican party. Sometimes conservative Reaganite principles is good politics.
and btw, I am standing up to the idiots who say that they wont vote for Bush, or wont vote for Spectre. But I get no help at all from the RINO-hugging moderates who'd rather split the party with division than unite for ALL our candidates ... *you* would be a hypocrite to demand we support RINOs even when they are imperfect candidates who are wrong/disagreeable on some issues then spurn the energetic Keyes candidacy.
Take yo' Momma's advice on this race and on Keyes: "If you can't anything nice, don't say anything at all."
Lead, follow or get out of the way.
