"Bravo Alan. A+++"

YES!!!! It is good to know that there is at least one righteous¹ man running for the U.S. Senate. I can't tell you what a lift it was to hear him speak.

¹ I'm sure there are others, but tonight was Mr. Keyes' night.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

He has many of Cheney's admirable qualities. Calm. Knowledgable. Competent. Probably, in terms of understanding Constitutional law, he is close to being unsurpassed. Jim Robinson mentioned earlier that Keyes would make a great SCOTUS justice. IMO, there is no doubt about that.

[Aquinasfan]

Keyes is incredible and Rush is right. Too many people do not want to make the changes in their lives that they see are necessary in order to follow a man like Alan Keyes. It really is a shame, because it really is so very easy and so very right.

That's it my friend. It's not an intellectual problem, ultimately. It's a spiritual problem.

God still sends us prophets. Tonight's debate was The World vs. A Prophet. Sometimes we listen to prophets. Sometimes we don't. Bad things usually follow when prophets are ignored.

[EternalVigilance]

Yep.

[ScottM1968]

Well said.

[tgslTakoma]

Pinging you to the debate you missed while you were in class tonight. I may let you stay up late to watch it when it re-airs.

;-)

[EternalVigilance]

Dr. Tom Coburn is awesome, for one.

But I agree.

Alan's brilliance never shone brighter than tonight.

If every Illinoisan could see this, we would win, IMO.

[Aquinasfan]

Obviously, no one can really know what's going to happen in this election, but [memo to Senator Frist] if Keyes does not win, wouldn't he make a great Senate Chaplain? ;-)

How about a great VP! Wouldn't you want him for your "attack dog"? The press conferences would be interesting too 8-)

[Aquinasfan]

C-SPAN II at 12:09am Eastern...

Cool. Thanks.

[EternalVigilance]

Thanks to you, and to all who made this a most enjoyable thread!

[soundbits]

Thanks for the thread. Bumping for later linking to C-SPAN2.

[EternalVigilance]

Awesome!

Thank you...

[outlawcam]

And here I come, late as usual. Looking forward to the re-broadcast. Thanks again for your hard work.

[k2blader]

Does a good leader simply tell the people what he thinks they want to hear? Or does he try to explain to them why other ideas are sometimes better? The Republican Revolution of 1994 wasn’t accomplished by people sitting around wringing their hands over how their “extreme” policy agenda might not play well across the nation.

[NautiNurse]

Thanks for the great thread! Looking forward to hearing updates about this big race.

[EternalVigilance]

My pleasure! Truly...

What do you think of that ad that heads up the thread?

[lara]

It's starting on 890am now, or wlsam.com.

[EternalVigilance]

Just doing what I can, as are thousands of great Illinoisans...

Self-governent in action...It's a beautiful thing to see!

[zetapsi]

I'm sorry, I understand that Keyes is the quintisential "Conservative," but I don't think he speaks for the mainstream of the Political Right and definetely not the Republican Party.

[EternalVigilance]

Be specific.
