As I replied to another FReeper - I am not 100% sold on Palin’s electability.
But I know FOR CERTAIN that Dr. Keys (who is a brilliant man and for whom I voted in the 1996 primary) probably couldn’t win an unopposed race for dog catcher. He’s a proven election loser, and largely a one issue candidate. His time has passed, and his public comments are the equivalent of RF interference. In the latter way, he’s kinda like Newt (brilliant man past his sell-by date, capable of little more than creating static).
As far as the 2008 election, I voted for Fred Thompson in the primary. He was the only reliable Constitutional adherent on the ballot.
It's a telltale sign when someone uses that particular label.
But, for the record, I've seen Dr. Keyes work diligently on every front in the conservative movement for decades.
Foreign policy.
National defense.
The defense of the unalienable right to life of all.
The Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
Border security and the protection of our national sovereignty.
Real economics.
Religious liberty.
Free speech, freedom of the press, free elections run by the people.
The fight against the judicial supremacists.
The defense of the natural family and the institution of marriage.
And more.
So, what is this "one issue" to which you refer, pray tell?
Because, frankly, when I hear someone say what you said, based on my experience, what I'm hearing is "don't you dare talk about the thousands of babies they're killing every day in this country in the political arena."
