Yes, you have one sentence. no exposition, no back up, nothing to give it any context or weight. It could just have easily been a Keyes loving local who proposed recruiting him for all that sentence gives you. and there's a discussion on another thread which quotes someone who was there describing the situation and it implies exactly that. that someone there proposed Keyes and that the party didn't know enough about him to pick him - odds are Keyes still doesn't even know it happened.
Don't be so gullible.
"Don't be so guillible."
Okay, I won't be so guillible when it comes to believing:
**Keyes asked the NYLP to consider him as the LP's Senate candidate in 1998.
**Keyes owed back taxes in Maryland, and didn't pay them until recently. (Imagine that.)
**Keyes (rightly) blasted Hillary for running in a state in which she did not live,...then turned around and did the same thing himself. He can candy it up all he wants, but that is exactly what he is doing.
**Pulled a "Kucinich" on Bush in 2000 by insisting on staying in the primary race long after it was over.
**Carried his debt from his Presidential race for YEARS. Many candidates take out loans to pay off debts.
**Cried poor, claiming he had no money for TV/radio ads in his 1992 Senate race in his HOME STATE OF MARYLAND - while all along paying himself $8500 per month out of his campaign account.
You're right. I shouldn't be so guillible. All I can say is if a Dem candidate for Senate had Keyes' track record, Freepers the board over would be tearing him a new one.
Well, that's it for me on this thread. Us guillible types have other hypocrisies to point out.
