2012: The test for American leadership
World Net Daily ^

Posted on 11/19/2010 10:03:53 AM PST by Leaning Right

Keyes tries to make the argument that Palin is being led astray by some of her advisors.

From the article: "Yet the telltale flaw in Palin's supposedly conservative credentials is a proven penchant for relying on advisers who mislead her into decisions that are anything but conservative."

[ Keyes tries to make the argument that Palin is being led astray by some of her advisors. ]

Could be true.. after all she still stinks of Juan McLame..
She should be careful about whos bowels she rubs up against..

No doubt many would try to influence her..
She should (and probably does) know all this..
Prayer might be advisable for her..

I love to hear Alan Keyes speak. I would never vote for him because he is so unstable, but I love to hear him speak.

Stand aside Alan. Sarah will show you how to kick Obama’s a$$ ... something you couldn't come close to doing.

And he changed the headline.

You’d think that given that at the very top of the article, in large letters, you see the name “ALAN KEYES,” he could at least get the spelling right.

I use to have a lot of respect for Alan Keyes but during the presidential debates in 2008 he really turned me off with his holier than you statements. I think he's gone over the edge.

Oh...and the article is just another silly, typical WND repetition of the vague “connection” between some company Sarah Palin used and some guy who once dated George Soros’ neighbor’s landlord’s second cousin.

And if Palin were to start taking Dr. Keyes’s advice, she’d become part of the 1%-popularity wacko fringe too.

I don’t think Keyes ia part of the GOP “establishment”.

He’s too conservative. He also speaks his mind and follows basic conservative principles at all times.

A little bit of history. The 2004 United States Senate election in Illinois was held on November 2, 2004. Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Peter Fitzgerald decided to retire after one term. The Democratic and Republican primary elections were held in March, which included a total of 15 candidates who combined to spend a record total of over $60 million seeking the open seat. State Senator Barack Obama won the Democratic primary, as Jack Ryan won the Republican primary, but three months later Ryan announced his withdrawal from the race — four days after the Chicago Tribune persuaded a California court to release child custody records. Six weeks later, the Illinois Republican State Central Committee chose former Diplomat Alan Keyes to replace Ryan as the Republican candidate. The election was the first in which both major party candidates were African American. Obama's 43% margin of victory was the largest in the state history of U.S. Senate elections.

It looks like Ambassador Keyes forgot to put his jacket on this morning.

It appears that Alan is suffering from Attention To Me Deficit Disorder again.

Ya, that's pretty much the conclusion that I came to. What a rambling mish-mash.

Ah, the phenomenon known as the "Corsi School Of Journalism."

I prefer its old name: "paranoid scizophrenia."

Nonsense. It's discussing Randy Scheunemann, McCain's top foreign policy adviser, who now works for her.

The Soros funding of McCain's organization, ie his top political people, in the run up to 2008 is well-documented in many places, including Michelle Malkin's site.

I used to enjoy Dr. Keyes radio program. Maybe he spent too much time filling in air time. As for the first black President, I would have preferred him over you know who.

If Gov. Palin is elected President, I propose that we move the Nation’s Capitol to Alaska. She will be near her home and family AND Congress will want to get their business done quickly and get out of there before winter comes.

If the Capitol stays there, only true patriots will want to go there to stay. And, term limits may not be required.

A real conservative does not move to a different state to run for a Senate seat. And on top of that he lost to Obama

....ohhhh, I see, you’d rather the Democrat Socialists candidate for US SENATE run UNopposed instead of having Keyes accept the request that he enter the race? And exposed much of the bogus background/pro abort stances of TheOne? Smart choice...thanks for that...

ymmv

It’s B.S. I read the real story about that, and the connection to Soros is as tenuous as I have suggested. I have less respect for Alan Keyes for repeating this nonsense.

What a rambling mish-mash.

Hmmm...looks pretty darned cogent to me.

Leaders who encourage the delusion that we can escape from the issues that arise from these moral requirements may pretend to conserve our liberty, but they serve, consciously or not, the forces that seek to destroy it. Leaders who loudly proclaim their opposition to Obama and the openly totalitarian socialists of the Obama faction but who abandon, confuse or obfuscate the key elements of America's moral understanding may pretend to conserve our republic, but they serve, consciously or not, the forces that seek to destroy it. The only leaders worthy of the cause are those who have articulated and acted on the same priorities, and with the same courageous clarity of moral vision and purpose, that characterized the leaders who prevailed in America's founding generation. Those leaders acknowledged God and the natural law and right determined by His creation. They articulated and defended natural rights, derived from the willingness to do what is right that arises from our responsibility to the Creator God.

I see among the politicians who participate in the present two-party system not a single one with a record that reflects the consistency of principle, purpose and action of those founders; not a single one willing to put first things first whatever the political heat they take for it. Do you? Words they may offer, but where are their wounds? Where is their willingness to stand with those, like Terry Lakin, now persecuted and threatened with destruction simply because they dare still to reason and act like true Americans? Seeking what is safe, these timid politicos shrink from what the manipulated media (or else their own Soros-funded advisers?) tell them is unpopular. In so doing, they neglect what is right even when the decent heart of the people yearns for it. This is not true American leadership. It is the denouement of an American tragedy. We will avoid the tragedy only by avoiding the leaders who set the stage for it.

You wrote: “Palin doesn’t spend even one minute of her day attacking fellow Republicans or fellow conservatives.”

Very good point. It’s one of her many Reagan-like qualities.

It’s not tenuous at all. Without the money of Soros and Heinz-Kerry and others McCain’s political team would have dried up and blown away. When everyone was writing McCain off because he didn’t have any money, they just didn’t know about the flow of cash that was being run through McCain’s “Reform Institute.”

Yep, proofreading has never been one of my strongest points. Guilty as charged there.

I thought this was about Sarah Palin, not McCain.
