Some IL Republicans defend Keyes' Mary Cheney slur

Chicago Daily Herald:

"Not all Republicans were lambasting Keyes, however. Former Senate candidate Jim Oberweis of Aurora said Keyes could have thought through his remark, then suggested homosexuality can be changed like obesity, citing his own vast weight loss in the past year.

Back in the suburbs, Family Taxpayers Network founder Jack Roeser of Carpentersville said Keyes was 'somewhat undiplomatic' but added that 'technically, logically and morally, he was correct.'

'Nobody looks at their newborn son and says, 'I hope he grows up to be a homosexual,'' Roeser said."

Nobody looks at their newborn son and says "I hope he grows up to be Alan Keyes" either.
