Keyes completely lost his credibility around here when, in August of 2001, he basically called Bush a "murderer" for his stem cell decision. Even some of the true believers were appalled.

I really didn't pay that much attention to the primaries. I didn't even own a TV at the time. I just remember seeing Bush, McCain, and Keyes, and singing "one of these kids is doing his own thing.."

What was Bush's stem cell decision?
I know he has been coming out against stem cell research, upsetting Nancy Reagan and myself. Do you mean to say he's flip-flopped on the issue?

No. Bush forbade any additional harvesting of cells from new lines, but allowed the existing lines to continue to be used in research.

Keyes thought that was abominable, and called Bush a "murderer" not three miles from where I sit, at the DFW Hyatt at some conservative function.

Many in attendance were appalled at Keyes bombast, and he hasn't been invited to speak at a GOP or conservative event since.
