Oh, please.

Slam Obama on the issues, but not his name. That's simply un-American.

There are plenty of reasons to campaign and vote against Obama. His name is not among them. After all, Clinton is a fine American name, but that doesn't mean we should ever vote for one.

Listen, stop posting to me.

Not that I don't want you to keep spewing that ignorance.

But after you last remarks about blacks, I don't want to have anything at all to do with a racist smearer like you are.

On domestic issues, it seems, you're a liberal, and you can't stand the unqualified Reagan conservatism that alan keyes unapologetically professes.

Unqualified Reagan conservatism? Like following Reagan's "11th Commandment"?

Well, it could help if Keyes would keep his remarks to Illinois issues; but he won't be able to resist drawing attention to himself on national TV.

In the end, people here in NC are furious now that we've realized that Edwards never cared about NC at all, that he only used us to get to a national office.

It's not pretty; I hope it's different for Keyes.

The fact that you share the liberal media's distress over Keyes' conservatism simply confirms what I said about you months ago - - you're a liberal. You may be pro-Iraq-war, but that doesn't make somebody a conservative; Kerry and Edwards also claim to be for the war. On domestic issues, it seems, you're a liberal, and you can't stand the unqualified Reagan conservatism that alan keyes unapologetically professes. Thanks for exposing yourself. ! Have a nice evening.

I got the same impression from the article. I think Keyes will turn what would have been an "unwinable" race into a contest. I, for one, am impressed with Alan Keyes.

Yes, and like this remark:

In a recent op-ed piece he criticized Californians for electing Arnold Schwarzenegger, comparing the moderate wing of the Republican Party to the AIDS virus

Actually it looks like that quote came from a World Net Daily article where he gives his support to McClintock.

I am sure that Arnold has gotten over it.

I'm sure Arnold never even heard it, just like Bush doesn't hear what Bush says about him.

But it's another example of the lengths Keyes will go to to draw attention to himself.

Let's see how long it is before he criticizes Bush.

Breathtakingly divisive. From that quote, one would almost get the impression he would have preferred Bustamante to Governor Schwarzenegger.

"Republicans" like Schwarzenegger enjoying power and prestige are a worse evil than the Democrats. Because they wear the Republican label, they defuse the opposition that would otherwise be roused against the positions they take. They operate in politics as the AIDS virus operates in the body – it fools the cell into thinking it is a defender against infection, all the while silently reprogramming that same cell to work for the death of the man.

Keyes is a very angry man. Scary, actually.

OMG, it's worse than the article says!

He sure loves that "e" word, doesn't he?

It's quite disturbing.

That was a year ago in a very unusual and heated election(Calif. recall). Hey if Henry Hyde can endorse him so can I.

Sorry, but I never considered Hilliary (or Bill for that matter) a genuine NY resident. It was--and still is--a state of convenience that suited her agenda and ambitions.

"[Howlin']...you're a liberal.

I think you're barkin' up the wrong tree Mister...Howlin' is no liberal. Two conservatives can disagree and it doesn't mean that the other one is a liberal. Just agree to disagree and be done with it.

People told me the same thing about "an dry alcoholic one drink away from pushing the button". You sound like a Democrat, Sink.

What was their position when the Hildebeast ran in NY? I'll bet that they didn't breathe a word of criticism.

That's an understatement. Keyes is a blowhard.
