Why is it, generally speaking, that those who demand perfection of Alan Keyes are the very ones who demand no such thing of any other political figure?
Well, I think it's as foolish for anyone to expect perfection from a political figure as it is for a political figure to attempt to project an aura of perfection.
We all have to occasionally pay a price for things we've done or said in the past. I've always admired people who can pay that price cheerfully and who can, if they feel that what they did or said in the past was a mistake, acknowledge the error and try to rectify it. ;-)
As a supporter and admirer or Alan Keyes, I think this is one proposal he can afford to back away from.
There are sound arguments against it, the primary one being that the tax cuts would go to *descendants* of slaves.
Still, I don't understand why some "conservatives" disagree with Keyes on much bigger issues like abortion, even going so far as to say they'll vote for Obama.
Why do they hate Keyes so much?
