It may be that the American voter is so self absorbed that they can't stand a bracing dose of truth, but as one who sits and listens to my pastor preach two sermons a week, I've learned to appreciate a man telling me straight where I need to change my views or my ways.
Why is it that we, as a nation, insists on candidates who spoon-feed us pablum and promise us lollipops instead of being straight with us?
I'm not saying you are wrong to suggest that if Keyes pours out strong medicine that the sheeple will choke on it, but don't we wish it were not so?
Post #510 = eloquent.
No. Keyes has no sense of decorum when he rains hellfire down on his audience. There's a way to do it, where you don't piss off the very people you're trying to attract. There is simply not a tactful bone in Alan's body.
He's not an optimistic man, and it comes through, loud and clear.
