I understand what it was about entirely, Keyes went back on his word. And yes people violating their principles does offend me.

Words, and whether one heeds to them or goes back on them, must have contexts. Hillary's context was night and day different than Alan's present context.

people violating their principles

When people violate their own principles then its between them and God. I know that not keeping your word can hurt others, but it hurts the person not keeping their word the most. The Bible talks about keeping our word--even to our own harm. Thats tough talk.
I give Keyes a pass because I can't believe he is completely untrustworthy. I have not always kept my word. I don't think he'll win and I'm beginning to think the man is never going to win an election.

Its a different thing though if it is in the Constitution--which to my shame, I did not know this other than people in states are to represented. States can't choose who they wish to represent them? Is it unconstitutional what Keyes is doing?
