Like hell you are staying in my state. (go to the video for the full effect)While I may currently live in Missouri, Illinois will always be my home and you have defiled it you freak. The entire comparison to Abraham Lincoln has pissed me off more than you could possibly understand. You are an ignorant ass who would have been put in his place by Abe in a sly, dry witted manner.
You ranted about Illinois without knowing a damn thing about. Your rant on automatic weapons was laughable. Your divisive bullshit about a culture war has no place in my moderate state. You turned a race into a three ring circus with your ego occupying all three rings.
You have bizarrely attacked one of the most decent and charismatic candidates in Illinois during my lifetime eclipsing even the cool charisma Thompson had, but few now remember.
You are now lying that abortion will cause a decline in the black population which is nothing short of a lie. Why? Because you think the ends justify the ends. You were funny for a while, but now you are just a giant horse’s ass.
Finally, you have claimed you were attacked with pipe bombs which was bullshit. You fucking lied about it and tried to use it to get money. You and your campaign staff are sick bastards who need to take your asses to some state where your kind of bullshit flies. You and your staff are so bizarrely out of touch you thought that receiving shit bombs would bring you more support.
In short–what the fuck is your major malfunction asshole? And why do you think anyone in Illinois wants to put up with you beyond Tuesday?
Well said!
YAY-us! Preach it, brother! To see the usually unflappable Arch go off on such a tirade is a beautiful thing.
Many long-overdue words there, and I hope you saved a few for a postmortem slam on the IL goopers who perpetrated this fraud on the state I spent most of my life in.
*Thunderous applause*
From the beginning, one of the most troublesome things about the Keyes candidacy is that the Republican Party in a major state like Illinois decided to give legitimacy to his bizarre interpretations of the Constitution, his insistence on creating a religious state, and his over the top form of political discourse.
Syverson, Manzullo, Rauschenberger all deserve having Keyes stay and making their lives miserable. And I lost a lot of respect for Judy Baar Topinka for not managing the candidate selection process better, even if she opposed having Keyes as the standard bearer.
I couldn’t agree more with AP’s sentiments, and have expressed those same thoughts (in a PG-13 version). But the silver lining is that if Keyes does remain involved in Illinois, people will remember in 2006 when those responsible for making extremism a part of the political discourse have to face the voters.
PS
There are just so many things wrong in that video. My favorite part is the visual of Keyes in the front pew of a black church with all of his white advisors (they fill up the whole row) trying to clap along with the music. It’s a close runner-up to the near-tears when Keyes speaks to the congregation.
WAY TO GO AP!!! I couldn’t have said it better.
What’s even more frightening is that here in the Charleston/Mattoon area (and also up around Champaign-Urbana), there’s more than a few people who have Keyes signs on their farm fields or front lawns.
Are some people in east-central Illinois THAT brain-dead?
See ya later Al baby – don’t let the door hit your butt on the way out!
Hey, STL, I work in Charleston, and there are more Keyes signs up in Tuscola (where I live) than in Charleston-Mattoon. Scary. OTOH, I know several Bush voters who think Keyes is nuts.
Please, go easy on his staff. Not all of them are the freaks that followed him from Maryland. Some of them are good people who got suckered into working for him before they got to know what an ass he really is. But I am with you 100% on the rest of your statement. This lunatic needs to go home. ALAN KEYES IS NOT WANTED IN ILLINOIS!
