Okay, so I'm a Selfish Hedonist for supporting Alan Keyes for U.S. Senate
Nothing (well almost nothing) would please me more than seeing Alan Keyes win a seat in the U.S. Senate!
Why?
- He's a God-fearing man
- He's an unabashed conservative
- He defends America and traditional American values
- He would be a pro-life vote in the Senate
- He would be a pro-family vote in the Senate
- He would be a pro-gun vote in the Senate (he's one of the few who is unafraid to express and stand for the true meaning and intent of the second amendment)
- He is a true advocate of the principles stated in the Declaration of Independence
- He would be a pro-tax cut vote in the Senate
- He would be a pro-defense vote in the Senate
- He would be a pro-sovereignty vote in the Senate
- He would be a pro-limited government vote in the Senate
- He would be a pro-self-government vote in the Senate
- He would be a Senate vote opposing liberal activist judges
- He would be a vote in the Senate for an eventual repeal of the 16th amendment
- He would be a vote in the Senate for an eventual repeal of the 17th amendment
- He's a far, far better man than his opponent on every issue near and dear to my heart
And despite his remarks on reparations or affirmative action, I would be extremely happy and take great pleasure in seeing Alan Keyes defeat Barack Obama. I believe whole heartedly that unlike Obama, Senator Keyes would preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America to the utmost of his ability and would dedicate himself to working with all of us in securing the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, and if that makes me a selfish hedonist, then so be it.
I challenge anyone here to put up a detailed list of the reasons why you believe Barack Obama would be better for America in the Senate than Alan Keyes.

Hey, I didn't necessarily like Alan Keyes moving to Illinois to run for Senate. But that's up to the Illinois GOP, and he's still a vastly better option than Obama-sama-sama.

Well, it's the only reason I could think of...

I've heard a rumor that Keyes is supporting slavery reparations: any truth to this or is it being taken out of context?

My bet is that the Swiftees are going to have looooong coattails.
I think Daschle and Boxer are gone, and Keyes has a chance, simply because the DEMO(N)crats will be so demoralized by the damage done by John O'Neill and his compatriots.
All those guys are not conservatives, but they aren't letting that stop them from doing the right thing where John Fraud Kerry is concerned.

Everything you say is true. But as a practical matter, you might want to give up quixotic hobbies, since Keyes is the dumbest politician to ever walk the face of the earth and thus will never win an election.

Because it's always been about attacking Keyes because he has a 'disagreeable' personality and not on the issues.

The Keyes haters are simply RINOs - they are what used to be called back in the 1960's - LIBERAL DEMOCRATS!

I support Alan Keyes. He is the Republican on the ticket, and I follow Reagan's 11th Commandment. If the Illinois party wanted him, then he deserves our support.
I do think he could use some better advice on his campaign.
