WASHINGTON – Former GOP presidential candidate and Reagan administration official Alan Keyes has joined the ranks of those calling on House Republicans to reject another hike in the debt limit that will permit the federal government to keep borrowing money to propel its spending programs.
He joins Sens. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., and Reps. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., Ron Paul, R-Texas, and Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., in rejecting House Speaker John Boehner's concession to raise the debt limit, which is expected to be reached toward the end of next month.
"We should demand of our representatives in Congress that they refuse to raise the debt ceiling," said Keyes. "But we must also demand of ourselves that we refuse any longer to choose our political leaders from candidates produced by political parties intrinsically dependent on political vehicles fueled by unbridled government spending. Where politics is concerned, restoring the ceiling must be just the first expression of our determination to rebuild, as a home for responsible freedom, the house of constitutional liberty our forsworn elites are determined to destroy."

Weiner? did I mis-read that? am I having a stoke?
When I heard John Boehner say he admired Obama’s handling of the uprising in Egypt, I began to worry about John Boehner!
I assume it's because he wants to raise taxes?
I wish Alan would run against Obama in 2012. He did so well the last time he ran against Obama.
Hey, thanks for keeping your promise to stay in Illinois and rebuild the Republican Party, assclown.
What does Alan Keyes do for a living?
The Republican Party is deserting the American people that put them in power
The debt will destroy America before the islamofacist have the chance to do it.
America can not keep spending more money then it get take from its people.
Alan, if you’d run a halfway decent campaign, you’d be the senator from Illinois, and Teh Awesome would still be a state assemblyman. Shut it.
