That is because Keyes was far more Conservative than Bush. Time showed he was indeed. Bush was at best a moderate but mostly a Johnson DEM. Had Keyes won we would likely not be in the fix we are now. Think about that. Who was the only Republican too stand up and challenge Obama for his senate seat? Alan Keyes. Too bad he was in a mainly DEM state. Keyes is also far more conservative & intelligent than Newt.
Well said. It is my opinion that Bush's pragmatism (and willingness to compromise with the Foolish and Corrupt Democrats) has led us to the Obama Precedency, and the ascendance of socialist/fascist government.
“Had Keyes won we would likely not be in the fix we are now.”
And we know this because? Hasn’t he lost about a dozen races for public office so far? Dog Catcher had to have been one of them. He didn’t get close to any others. I think 30% or so is his best showing. There must be a reason...just a guess, but I don’t think ALL of his races were lost because they were Dem districts.
