Sheesh, man. I think you've been experimenting with life as a libertatian, if you know what I mean.

You said not to take you seriously. Okay. But the kind of attitude you convey does harm to George Bush...at least as much so as the rantings of a Chuck Baldwin.

If you want to slam Pat Buchanan, fine. He is not part of the Republican coalition, and he has earned it by spawning unjust and unfair ranters like Baldwin.

Criticism of the CP for allying themselves with people like Baldwin is also I think justified. But smearing them as racists, with no evidence (which you subsequently admit), is wrong.

But where you hurt our efforts to turn out the maximum number of voters for the President the most is when you then begin to slime loyal members of the Party. (I thought y'all believed in 'Reagan's Eleventh Commandment).

Dr. Keyes is a Republican, one who continuously fights for the things we as conservatives believe in, and one who has ALWAYS done it WITHIN THE PARTY. He most generally represents very mainstream conservative Republican values, and has a huge constituency in the GOP. Why in the hell do folks like you try and piss off a large section of the party? It serves no purpose but to vent your spleen.

To put it more bluntly, and on a pragmatic level, you are doing nothing but helping the Dems with your divisive rhetoric, especially at such a crucial time at this in a critical election cycle. Are you working for Terry McAwful, or what?

Finally, your distain for conservatives is demonstrated on this thread by your slime job on an entire Republican state: the great state of Idaho.

About 90% of Idaho's elected representatives are Republican. They are overwhelmingly moderate to mainstream conservative.
Your portrait of them as nazis is a parroting of how the liberals in the lamestream media habitually portray them. But it has no connection to reality.

So, one last time, I will reiterate: your comments on this thread are very similiar to Chuck Baldwin's, albeit coming from a different ideological perspective...unkind, unsubstantiated, unfair attacks on good people.

Lay off the weed, man.

With respect, cut the crap.

Dr. Keyes, as much as I actually admire the guy (and I actually do...), represents about 15% of the Party. If he represented any more, he'd be a power within the Party. As such, he got laid off by MSNBC.

Look, I know you worked for the guy and respect him. He was a UN ambassador and a respected rhetoritician within the Party. But he is not a serious politician. Serious politicians are men who are willing to give and take. Alan Keyes is All Apocalypse, All the Time.

Finally, I did not call Idaho Republicans Nazis, and you know it. You're building a straw man. I said that there were probably supremacists within the CP (and I strongly suspect that I am right).

As to the Libertarians, I don't care what they think. Those bastards cost us votes the last go-round, so they can take their meds and kiss my butt.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
