1) I don't think he was looking for a state to run in, I believe the Illinois Republican Party chose him.

2) Guess he doesn't believe in going along to get along.

3) I don't know if anyone has actually said they'd rather support Obama over Keyes, but the words and deeds of some on FR demonstrate that they wouldn't mind and actually might think it's a good thing for Keyes losing to Obama.

4) I believe Keyes. It's a personal thing. You are entitled to your own opinion, but I'd rather not have a gang fight on every Keyes thread on this forum. Eating our own is not a conservative position.

Eating our own is not a conservative position.

I couldn't agree more and think it would be a good lesson for Alan Keyes to learn also.

Yes, we each have our own opinion and I guess Keyes continues to be a polarizing person. Unless opinions are to be stifled, I am afraid he will always stir emotions, both pro and con.

However, no matter what I think of him, I would like to see him defeat Obama.
