We can’t win with a third party strategy.
Granted, in states which allow a candidate to run under more than one Party label, it might make some sense.
But, again, if you can not get a majority of Republicans to support you, how on Earth will you get a majority of the General Population to agree with you??
I thought Keys wasn’t a Republican anymore.
The Obama faction is synthesizing communist goals and political tactics with means drawn from the playbook of National Socialism (translated as "globalism" these days).
the Republican Party stands quietly by as the Constitution is shredded, the country run to bankruptcy, and the people turned from sovereign citizens to bleating subjects
I still believe the overthrow of the republic can be undone. But the turnaround will not begin until the conservative grassroots abandon the dead end goal of saving the Republican Party. Let the so-called leaders play out their charade, while the citizen leaders, instead of watching, set to work on the achievable miracle of saving the Republic.
Well done, Dr. Keyes! Thank you.
I don’t know who “Keys” is, but Alan Keyes is no longer a Republican, no.
I used to like Steele, but when I read about his feelings regarding legislation on what he refers to as "assault weapons" he lost me.
Pay close attention and perhaps we will be able to show you a completely principled but eminently practical strategy that will break that paradigm.
I did not read about his views on assault weapons. Please don’t tell me he’s for banning them. I would cry.

Michael Steele Wants an Assault Weapons Ban

"Q: Should people have access to buy assault weapons?
[Michael Steele] A: Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you're going hunting? That's overkill. But I don't think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that But what's the point of passing gun laws if we're not going to enforce them? If you want to talk about gun control, that's where you need to start. We've got 300 gun laws on the books right now. At the end of the day, it's about how we enforce the law."
I called Michael Steele's office to get a response on the following quote from a Washington Post interview, and his secretary said, "Mr Steele doesn't have any opinion at the present time about the Second Ammendment or any future AWB."
How can the leader of the Republican Party not have an opinion on the AWB? Oh wait, he already does....
Nicely done Dr. Keyes. I think he might feel at home in Texas ;^)
Heh...
I love Rush Limbaugh, but the conservative radio shows rarely touch social issues anymore. It's all taxes and business all the time. Rush at least makes it entertaining. Hannity is horrible.
But that's basically the nature of the modern GOP, and results in he complaints Mr. Keyes and many of us have about the party as a whole. It's a party of small and medium range businesses. When their interests mesh with ours, we get a 1994 style tidal wave. The rest of the time, it's a house divided against itself.
I turned away from Alan a long time ago, after he said that fathers behind on alimony/support should be caned (Singapore style). He’s a politician.
I have no idea what you’re talking about. If you’re going to make such a claim you need to be able to prove it.
After seeing your post, I talked to one of the people who has handled his archival materials for about a decade and they have no idea what you’re talking about either.
So, link it or retract.
...and a popular publication?
If Alan Keyes wants to lead he should start by convincing Republican Party that he can be a leader. When he manages that, he will be in a position to lead the rest of the country.
I pretty much agree with everything he wrote.
There is a fault line out there.
It about the lack of principle and conviction about fiscal matters coupled with the lack of committment to federalism.
Think about the storm that Harriet Miers nomination to the Supreme Court created because she wasn’t a federalist.
No one doubts the pro-life convictions in the GOP, its just that insiders want to water down fiscal conservatism and federalism.
