It sounds like you have quite a bone to pick here. How 'bout explaining it in a little more detail. Your comments here come perilously close to plain slander, and we don't play that game here. At least I don't. A link or something will do.
If you aren’t familiar with Keyes’ actions in Illinois, I’ll give you the executive summary:
When Keyes came into the state, it was pretty clear that he was not going to win the election, but there were thousands of people here that did not want to waste an opportunity to build real grass-roots conservatism in Illinois (as opposed to the existing joke of a party ‘leadership’ we had).
From day one of Keyes’ presence in Illinois, up to and including election day, he raised money on the premise that it was not just going to be directed towards this election cycle, but would be used to build grass-roots conservatism in the state beyond November 2004. Keyes and his campaign staffers raised money on this explicit promise.
Despite Keyes’ direct, unequivocal promises to remain in the state no matter the outcome of the election, he and his minions left a matter of weeks after losing and never looked back.
Those are facts, and if Mr. Chairman wants to dispute any of them, he if free to do so. All he ever offers, however, is rationalizations of *why* Keyes had to lie.
