Rudey,
GC would be sooo boring without your posts ;)
Gotta love it! :p

Keyes doesn't have a prayer of winning. Obama has tons more money and the Republicans have basically written it off. They should focus their efforts on seats they can actually win instead of wasting their time on Illinois when Obama has it locked up.

She usually does things with Pam Bozeman in the community service center. If I find a pic, I'll post it. Knowing you, you'd hit regardless of what she looks like :rolleyes: j/k.

Keyes views on abortion

He's not getting my vote.

The Obama Family
 

While I think Keyes went too far in his statement, I thought this contradictory statement was equally troubling by Obama:

"I think it's a deeply troubling statement," Obama said. "To suggest that somehow the slaughter of innocent people in New York and in Washington was somehow brought about as a consequence of women exercising their reproductive freedom is not the way most people here in Illinois think."

I think its interesting that he doesn't see abortion as killing an innocent life LOL..but to NOT turn this into a thread about abortion, I'll end it here. ;)

Again..its not about Keyes winning..its about getting the other side's agenda out there i.e. Al Sharpton running for President.

Tonight on the local news it was announced that Keyes has lost the respect of the Republican party because of remarks he made in a radio interview regarding Dick Cheney gay daughter. He called her "a selfish hedonist" and said if he had a daughter who was gay he'd still love but would still her what's she's doing is a sin.(the interview was aired and you heard him loud and clear)

Judy Baar Topinka, head of IL Republican party, said it was wrong of Keyes to speak out against the child of Dick Cheney. She said he does not reflect the views of the party. Former IL governor Jim Thompson was also interviewed and agreed Keyes was wrong.

I think the only vote Keyes may get is his own.

You may not agree with him, but that doesn't make him nutty and kooky.

There are fairly legitimate religious (and other) reasons that some people are morally opposed to homosexuality. Alan Keyes happens to be one of them. I can always appreciate a person that is unafraid to say what's on their mind.

The above poster has said plenty of things that I might call nutty or kooky;)

This is what I think is funny about people..they can't take it when a politician actually says what he believes the truth to be..regardless of if its popular or not..

It depends on whether or not what the politican is saying is offensive or not... to latch onto a current favourite of some of the RNC folks now; Churchill spoke his mind and stated what he believed to be the truth, but sometimes even he admitted what he said was offensive or wrong at the time. Further keep in mind some truely horrible politicians have said what the believe in and what they believe to be the truth... that alone doesn't make them better people.

So is the problem that he mentioned Cheney's daughter or that he disagrees with homosexuality?

Problem?
