Republican sixth-string Senate candidate Alan Keyes advocated the repeal of the 17th Amendment today.
And what is the 17th Amendment, you ask? It is the one that lets you vote for Senator!
Keyes Wants to End Election of Senators
By MIKE ROBINSON, Associated Press Writer
CHICAGO - Alan Keyes (news - web sites) said Friday he would like to end the system under which the people elect U.S. senators and return to pre-1913 practice in which senators were chosen by state legislatures.
The Republican Senate candidate in Illinois, asked about past comments on the election process, said the constitutional amendment that provided for popular election of senators upset the balance between the people and the states.
This raises a number of questions:
Is that the official GOP position?
Does President Bush endorse Mr. Keyes? Sorry, AMBASSADOR Keyes?
What is his position on Women's Sufferage and the Temperance Movement?
Just how batshit loony is this guy anyway?
