scrub and Illinois.
Edited on Wed Aug-04-04 08:28 AM by rpannier
My how the mighty have fallen. The fairly popular and well organized Republican Senator Fitzgerald is not running for re-election. Why? Cuz he was dissed by scrub and his hoarde for not toeing the party line in 2001 and 2002, so Fitz called it quits -- Can anyone say Jim Jeffords Part II?
Now, the pukes are contmeplating Alan Keyes. Keyes is about the ONLY man, certainly the ONLY puke who questioned the wisdom of the patriot act when it was being passed without a reading after 9/11.
How did the scrubbies deal with this? They harangued and lampooned Keyes and according to several former MSNBC employees -- pressured MSNBC to get Keyes' show pulled.
Good job scrub. Keyes will lose. Obama will be the new Senator. And that will be two puke seats in the Senate that scrub has screwed up.
What state will be next?

I found Keyes' TV pretty entertaining.

he was always very courteous to his guests, even when he disagreed with him

he's a smart guy, but he's REALLY nuts, which isn't much different than lots of junta members

the key difference there is that he's HONEST about his beliefs, and doesn't couch them in Goebbellian/Rovian PR BS

I'd LOVE to see him as the candidate, because he would demponstrate in the starkest terms the REAL differences between the parties, differences that the junta is desperate to paper over: hence the lineup of semi-RINOS who've been given prime time speaking slots at the convention
