I love Keyes. I know why he ran in Illinois. I can’t blame
him for it one bit. But he kind of branded himself as a
professional campaigner. I can also appreciate why he left
the party. But like Ralph Nader. No matter how good his
intentions. A third party turns into a spoiler.
After this last election. We have found that we could have
used a couple of Keyes in Maine and one in Pennsylvania.
Ah, the old "Don't vote for the guy who walks the walk, vote for the poser because he's a Republican" trick.
I am sorry to be snide (not really, as snide is like a second nature), but that old saw just doesn't work any more. Do what is right, not what is expedient. Had we been doing so all the way along, we would be in a far different place today, with both houses full of Reaganites like Dr. Keyes.
