    Perennial Republican candidate Alan Keyes - this time running for the U.S. Senate in Illinois against Democrat state legislator Barack Obama - has made it crystal clear that he has no use for gay people. Keyes recently trashed vice presidential daughter Mary Cheney, an avowed lesbian, as "a selfish hedonist" after claiming gay marriage "is based simply on the premise of selfish hedonism."

These Americans wanted honest open elections. For years they had asked for state or federal election monitors to prevent vote fraud (forged ballots, secret ballot counts and intimidation by armed sheriff's deputies) by the local political boss. They got no help. These Americans' absolute refusal to knuckle under had been...
