Sounds like a fetish.
I am not a Trump fan, but I am also tried of watching the media and the Democrats, and RINO’s pick my candidate.
I want a primary where every state votes the same day and the people of this country instead of one state or caucus doing the picking. That isn’t going to happen, but this year I am determined to vote for who I like.
Every year I gat to try to pick the best of two evils. It aint happening this year.
I will vote for whom I like if I have to write the name in.
I will not be loyal to a party that is not loyal to me .
Seems like you are playing indentity politics.
Alan Keyes is a certified fruit loop on the fringe of American politics. Who happens to be black.
Herman Cain and Allen West are true mainstream conservative leaders (who also happen to be black).
By lumping the three together, you are diminishing West and Cain.
A fetish?! Good grief!
Those happen to be a few of the only guys out there who I consider to be the real deal, and there’s nothing “perverse” about it.
Sounds like Ross Perot on crack.
Scott is not playing “identity” politics. He didn’t write the column. I did.
Alan Keyes is in no way a “fruit loop.” I base my points on Mr. Keyes’ words. His words are true.
And, I stand by my words.
...loved your post. Very informative and a great read for all of us on FR.
Thanks!
Thank you. I appreciate that!
We already elected this guy. His name was George W. Bush.
Time to hit the NEXT button.
That said, if the decision were down to The One or The Donald (which I pray it won't be), I'd choose The Donald. For all of his faults, he at least loves the USA.
Obama will be tough to beat in 2012. We cannot take victory for granted, otherwise 2012 will be 1996 and not 1980.
Donald Trump does possess some attrinutes that could work well for him. For one, he’s already a household name and a bit of a celebrity. This is important in our sound-bite and celebrity worshipping culture.
More importantly, Donald Trump presents an image of toughness and decisiveness. This isn’t just an act for a TV show, it’s how he became who he is. Those qualities will stand in sharp contrast to Obama’s record of weakness and indecision.
Who certified Alan Keyes as a “fruit loop”? On what factual basis was this certification done? What are the credentials of the person or people who made this determination?
Why is it that you only want a male leader?
Because men are meant to be, designed to be, the leaders.
Yes, I always "hear it" from people on that one, because I've written it before (in one of my columns about Michele Bachmann). That's just what I believe, and it's also based on the words of the Bible.

Share Print Font: +-Alan Keyes, the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate who once referred to reparations as “an insult to our slave ancestors,” is now calling for a plan that would exempt the descendants of slaves from income taxes for at least a generation.
Tax exemption would give Blacks "a competitive edge in the labor market," because they would be cheaper to hire than federal tax-paying employee" and allow Blacks to be compensated "for all those years when your labor was being exploited," said Keyes, who is challenging Illinois state Sen. Barack Obama for the U.S. Senate seat.
Keyes' different turn
The ancestors of slaves would be precluded from paying federal taxes for a generation or two. The exemption would apply only to federal taxes, as opposed to state taxes, since slavery "was an egregious failure on the part of the federal establishment,” Keyes said. There would be no exemption from Social Security taxes, however.
I have met him, looked him in his eyes and don't like him.
He is a guy that has had all of his dad's wealth and opportunity, and the fact that he's taken advantage of it is OK with me.
I don't care how much money he's made, it's called capitalism for a reason, and I'm all for it.
He is also sleazy, amoral, crooked, union payoff guy {he'd rather bribe them than fight them}.
This recent dust up with the birth certificate is the Donald running interference for hildabitch.
I have no idea what obama doesn't want the public to see on his birth certificate or the rest of his past, but he is looking more and more like the "Manchurian Candidate", with the mooselimbs and soros as his original financial backers.
Who paid osamaobama's way to private schools, Columbia, Harvard? How many social security numbers has he had? What did his original passport list as his country?
I’ll probably be voting for Donald.

Talking about FRUIT LOOPS................If you truly believe this, pal.
Of the three only Rep. West even holds an elective office at this point. I think he is a potential candidate for higher office at some point in the future, but not in 2012.
Americans have a long tradition of preferring VPs and Governors and the occassional General as President. People who have achieved other high office in other words.
We took a chance on a half term senator, and few will be in the mood to do it again.
The black electorate voted 95% for Obama, and votes almost as highly for other Democrats, election after election. Given this it seems strange to me, and I'm sure to millions of other White Americans, that you seem obsessed with choosing only the black conservatives, mostly people without any real political experience, as the best qualified candidates.
As another poster said: it seems like a fetish.
I would suggest that 2012 is most definately NOT the year for
There is also an obvious downside for the black underclass to having another black President right now. They are having a very hard time with Obama in there. It seems to have psychologically set off many of them, as evidenced by the huge spike in wildings, flash mobs, riots and gang acts. I believe it would be best not to further inflame their sense of entitlement in this way.
