What remains undisputed is that Alan Keyes stands for the issues that are in the party's platform, whereas Obama stands directly opposed.

Could you kindly point me to the portion of the GOP platform that supports reperations for blacks and a universal military draft. Thanks.

No. I could point to the principle in the platform that recognizes that tax breaks spur economic growth, though. Additionally, I could point to statements from our very own candidate for President that is generally supportive of "affirmative action" and "against quotas." What does that mean?

Put "affirmative action" and "tax cuts" together, and you get Keyes' proposal. Not a proposal I agree with, but certainly not opposed to the principles espoused in the platform.

At any rate. That is one issue. There are one or two more where he and I don't agree. Otherwise, he's right on target. Do we now withdraw support from candidates when we disagree on one or two issues? I don't think I'd support a single candidate.

There are a few "deal breakers" for me, but this one, given how his priority is to eliminate the income tax for ALL Americans, is not among them.
