Perhaps the most hypocritical response from social conservatives is that somehow they are being sold out by moderates who refuse to support Keyes. Proft tries to be cute and say he’ll let Thompson’s non-endorsement lie. Yeah, sort of like Keyes refusal to endorse or campaign for any pro-choice Republicans? Given Alan Keyes thinks that Thompson or Edgar have no role in the Republican Party, why should they think Keyes should?
And let me suggest that if Proft’s publication seeks to damage anyone’s reputation who is not a sitting office holder in order to discredit their response to Keyes, you and your hare brained friends at the Leader will be banished from Illinois politics. And any candidate you have ties to will face an incredibly difficult and harsh campaign for Governor next go around.
