"KEYES: Oh, I sure do--and I wouldn't want to give the impression that I don't have other problems with this administration on some areas where I think that the president has fallen short of the kinds of things that I really think are needed in some areas."

"But I also wouldn't want to give the impression that I think that anything can be more decisive for the American people right now than the question of our national survival in the face of the most insidious threat this nation has ever faced."

If we allow the Democrats to retake the White House, we allow them to surrender the war on terror. Our very survival as a nation depends on this fight. George W Bush has proven that he will not shirk his duty as commander-in-chief. All other issues pale in importance when compared to this.

Why is not this orator of immense talent put to use countering the bull of the dem/media cabal? He could neutralize the opposition in about one news cycle.

Wake up Bush administration--you have stumbled badly, now get the thoroughbreds to the mark.

[Arkinsaw]

Its getting pretty obvious that, this next term, we will have some Supreme Court nominations upcoming. We have to ask ourselves, are any differences we have with George Bush so overwhelming that we are willing to allow John Kerry or John Edwards to appoint those justices instead?

We know that George Bush won't go to NARAL/NOW to annoint a nominee but we darn well know that any of the Democrats will.

I think Alan Keyes has made that calculation and I know I have.

[GeronL]

I voted for Keyes in the 2000 primary....

Bush is better than any Democrat on the war.... but I wish Bush was a conservative...

I don't call myself a Republican anymore.

[Sockdologer]

Bump!

[japaneseghost]

It's not to say that there's not blame to be spread around, but, excuse me, the Democrats do not have a record that, on this subject, would lead one to trust them to the kind of consistency and aggressiveness that's needed to defend our very lives in the midst of a war.

That says it all.

About once a year, Keyes comes out with a statement that reminds me of William F. Buckley, Jr. in his prime, you know, a 'pearls eminating from his mouth' statement. This is it for 2004.

Thanks for posting that transcript. I was happy to see Keyes on the show tonight.

Alan was as eloquent and articulate as always, and he was solid and unequivocal in his warning that the Democrats must not take the White House. He was mildly critical of Bush on some issues (I think most of us are) but I have no doubt that Keyes will do what he can to help Bush get reelected. I am certainly glad that he is on our side.

That interview had to drive CAL and some of the other refugees nuts.

Thanks for posting it and thanks to Alan Keys for expressing the issues facing us, so well.

I am sorry I missed H&C tonight and didn't see it -- I am bookmarking this transcript.

[ambrose]

Bump!

[Viking2002]

Agreed. I think Keyes is right on the money.

[windchime]

Have I heard these points made here before? Thanks for posting this!

Mathluv, here's the Keyes transcript we were talking about earlier.

[MissAmericanPie]

I would like your opinion on Bush's promotion of the FTAA treaty, and what effect his amnesty of 12 million illegals will have on the delicate 50/50 balance at the ballot box.

I would like to know what the plan is for rolling back decades of liberal corruption. Does the battle begin with the leftist movement of the Republican party? What would actally work to move the Party back from it's march left?

If Bush wins against all odds, what measures are in place to prevent him from initiating this amnesty or the FTAA treaty? Does he have the best chance out of all the cadidates of getting this type of destruction through congress and the senate? Because if he does manage all of the above it is most likely the last time there will be a Republican holding any office in the USofA.

If the Republican Party has to be liberal lite to stay in the game, that pretty much means that conservatives have no real representation in this country. What then? I know you urge us to work with what we have, but shutting up and voting, is not a plan that has any real effect in rolling back decades of corruption or moving the party right.

I think the only thing politicians fear is being out of office. If all they get for their liberal actions is smiles and pats on the back I don't see them having any reason to change or fear the electorate. If conservatives are vital to the party, we should demand to come away from the table with some representation of our ideals. What is your long term plan?

[Jumper]

Keyes is correct about both spending and the war on terrorism, and since Bush has spent like a good democrat there is no way in hell democrats will put a democrat before their own national security/social security at this point. The best thing the democrats could do is to shut up and not draw attention to their anti-American/pro-UN soverinty stance as they both lose this election and further support.

The democrats, since Clinton was election in 1992 have seen a steady errosion of their elected candidates/incumbents and Republicans now hold more seats at the State and National Level for the first time in 60 years!

BTT, our local talk radio host made a comment yesterday while talking to our local Memphis former heads of RATS and GOP parties that her heinousness shillary has switched her preference to hanoi john. Has any one else heard this or seen it in print?

The Breck Girl and Weasley drew 125 & 150 people to their stop over in Memphis yesterday..this was a crowd BTW according to our local fish wrapper.

We will also see MORE of the kind of judges that Kali has on the bench and possible 2-3 SCOTUS appointments of the ilk of shillary, ireland, ginsberg, etc.

I shudder to think what they will social engineer on us if they are allowed to appoint any one to the Supreme Court.

This is a battle for the Soul of America.

I can give a little on domestic spending in order to preserve America for our children.

[Aquinasfan]

It was good to see Keyes shut down Colmes. Colmes was subdued. Apparently he knows when he's overmatched.

Dr. Keyes is a Mensch.

"If we allow the Democrats to retake the White House, we allow them to surrender the war on terror. Our very survival as a nation depends on this fight. George W Bush has proven that he will not shirk his duty as commander-in-chief."

bump... thanks for a great post.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

There is not much to be said. Mr. Keyes, God bless him, has said it all! This upcoming election will determine whether America survives or disappears from the face of the earth. Any American that votes Democrat this year is voting for the destruction of the United States. Bin Laden & Company are just standing by, praying for a Democrat victory! Wake up America!

[sr4402]

Well, I think that it shows that they don't have much of a grasp of the real situation if they think this election's going to be decided on the basis of base personal attacks, and that sort of thing. They have got to get out there and begin to articulate concerns that will strike at the heart of the real issues and dangers the country faces. They are not doing it right now, and that's why I think they'll fail.

Keyes summarizes it so well in a nutshell. The democrats have no plan to counter the terrorist threat of 9/11. They are hopelessly antiwar, putting an Vietnam Antiwar Protester up as their candidate. Kerry has taken the Clinton position on terrorism - stating it is a law-enforcement issue (when they are outside of our laws).

Keyes knows this and is correct. If the American people wake up (and families should be awake after the MA ruling) then the democrats will fail miserably.
