Your post represented Keyes as saying, "I'd rather have a president who errs on the side of defending this country, and going after our enemies, than somebody like John Kerry who wants to sit on his butt and does nothing while Americans die."

That didn't sound quite right to me, so I googled the quote. And look what I found - the entire quote:

"Even if, let us say for a minute that Iraq was a mistake, as some people are trying to argue," he continued, "I'd rather have a president who errs on the side of defending this country, and going after our enemies, than somebody like John Kerry, who wants to sit on his butt and does nothing while Americans die. And I think that's the key issue here," said Alan Keyes.

You see, you took the quote out of context in an attempt to smear Keyes.

Seems a little dishonest to me...

You are right.

Nothing personal against Luis, but he has been proven to be incorrect, by that quote and the others above.

I think Luis is a decent guy. He just needs to keep more informed before making accusations.

The quote was posted, that particular phrase was boldened, and I commented on it.

I'll tell you what's truly dishonest:

"I deeply resent the destruction of federalism represented by Hillary Clinton's willingness to go into a state she doesn't even live in and pretend to represent people there, so I certainly wouldn't imitate it." Alan Keyes, Fox News, March 17, 2000
