There was a time in America when we shared a common understanding of what was right and what was wrong. Even little kids know the difference. Of course, they have not yet been infected with the twisted thinking of the Left.
If morality had been an issue in this election cycle, Mr. Keyes would have done better in Illinois.
About 1.4 million Illinoisans understood the difference...even in the face of an avalanche of media, RAT and RINO scorn.
In fact, he turned out less votes than he should have.
Yeah, those so-called Repubublicans who followed the lead of their hardcore left leaders and supported Obama should be ashamed.
That is a clue to what doesn't ail us Republicans--and to what issues concern Americans.
Believe me, comparing yourselves to the corrupt leaders of the IL GOP is not a flattering picture.
Fact is, Illinois is at least a decade behind the moral and the political curve. The corruption is long-standing in both parties, and won't be cured easily or quickly.
I believe we still share a common understanding of what is right and wrong.
Fact is, Keyes ran on the morality ticket, and he didn't win. We heard lots about how Republicans voted for moral issues, yet he didn't garner even as much support as GW did in the same state. Considering this fact, it can only be perceived as a rejection of his interpretation of morality. I don't believe people want to be made to feel they are being judged and condemned to hell for not conforming to someone else's moral persuasion.
We all agree abortion is not the answer. We disagree about making it illegal in order to legislate morality (meaning imposing our beliefs on women). You can bet if we started applying the same sort of control to men and couching it as moral convictions, it would be a different story entirely.
Illinois GOPers undermined their own party, and there are rumors that the information which caused Ryan to withdraw came from our own side-disgruntled party members who never wanted him in the first place. You are right about the corruption that exists in both parties, but I suspect that is going to be taken care by the state committee before the next election cycle occurs there.
