GOP gets more desperate

A couple of weeks ago the GOP in Illinois tried tapping Mike Ditka to run against Barack Obama, Ditka being the smart man he is decided that now was not the time for his entry into the world of politics. Well folks buckle up the GOP just asked Alan Keyes to be on the ticket.

For those of you who don't know who this nut is. Here are some links:

He paid himself $100,000 out of campaign funds. Way to go Alan.
One of his biggest jobs was opposing sanctions on South Africa as one of many Assistant Secretaries of State under Reagan. So basically while working in South Africa he defended the apartheid regime. Did I mention he's black. Yeah this guy is what we want.

Here a couple of quotes:

"'Hitler and his supporters were Satanists and homosexuals. That's just a true statement.' He added, 'The notion that is involved in homosexuality, the unbridled sort of satisfaction of human passions' leads to 'totalitarianism,' 'Nazism,' and 'communism.'"

On GOP presidential frontrunner Sen. Bob Dole:
We talk about leadership. Will somebody explain to me how we can expect Bob Dole to stand up to Bill Clinton and the Democrats when hecan't even stand up to his own colleagues in the Senate to get our agenda through?

The GOP in Illnios are really grasping for straws if they are considering this guy.
