Keyes is such a verbal bomb thrower that he could make social conservatvies vote fo Rudy Giuliani like he did for Obama.

I don’t care. He’d still be a better president than Mitt,Fred,Rudy,McCain.

Oh yeah, I want to say this, too, about Alan Keyes' latest fiasco run for the Presidency. Everyone who is not a Keyes supporter (i.e. the other 99.7% of the Republican party) can expect to endure 20 months of badgering from the Keyes people about how, unless we throw our support behind this three-time loser, we're "not patriots", we "hate America", we "don't believe in the Constitution" and we're "anti-Christian". Mark my words, folks. You think Ron Paul supporters are obnoxious? Just wait till the Keyes campaign gets rolling.

It sure scares these people to death when a true conservative enters the race.

You must have an extra chapter in your 'True Conservative Handbook' that is for reparations.

Of course “Keyes again”....he makes a lot of money running. He travels for free, stays in the top hotels....for free, eats.....for free and pockets all he can. He has no other income...other than charity. He’s not even a real preacher.

While I agree with your sentiment, perhaps we have too many “real politicians” in the race and running America already.

It was Pat Brown who made fun of Reagan for being an actor when he ran for Governor.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not going to run out the door supporting Keyes, but to categorically downplay him for not being a “real politician” is silly.

“Perhaps he won’t ask for reparations this time around.”

“When he recieves them, they are called campaign contributions.”

...which Keyes has a history of turning into personal salary.

Alan Keyes long ago crossed the line between being a committed ideological conservative and a loose cannon in need of being committed.

Please, please, spare us, Alan. Write a book, host a reality show, date Paris Hilton - whatever! Just don’t run for President again!

Oh C’mon, Keyees is a good man and can maybe help split the smart vote vs the dumb vote.

Well he’s neither one, a Preacher nor a Politician..... Keyes is more the ‘Elmer Gantry’ type, imo.

1) I voted for McClintock.
2) Ron Paul is decent on economic issues but hopelessly naive on national security / foreign policy.
BTW, the recent FR Presidential Poll results appear to be absurd (15.1% for Paul, neck-and-neck with Hunter?). Something fishy is going on there.

Ego?
Matching funds?
Just what is it? This guy has no clue or chance.

Well, in fairness to Keyes, he was brought into the IL senate campaign because Judy Barr I’llstinkya refused to support Jack Ryan fight against some particularly heinous RAT tactics. There was no hope right from the start, frankly. I’llstinkya willingly gave the seat to Obama, RINO that she is.

But I agree with all your other points.

"He’s a nice man, but needs to stay home. He can’t begin to compete.

I am no expert on Keyes, but he always said the right thing whenever I heard him speak.

Why can't he compete? Money?
