Read # 374....it's a heartbreaker.
It's rebellion in its awful form, and I can't imagine what this girl thinks her family did to her to deserve such disrepect and hateful comments.
Surely they have loved and provided for her...
..and no, I don't belive homosexuals are born that way.
Keyes is right about a lot of things.....
..to take this particular comment out of context of all the right things he has said....and bash him with it or write him off, is quite another thing.
Keyes will answer to God for what he does and doesn't do or say....
...so will Maya.....
..so will we all.
Personally, my heart breaks for him.
As well as for the Cheneys.....I don't think either family want this.
I admire Mrs.Cheney for her books and talks...
...the same for Vice President Cheney, I think he's tops!
I think both families need lots of prayer and right now, I think some here need to forgive Alan Keyes, if you continue to hold this against him.
No one could want to walk in his shoes right now.
And for what it's worth....I do see a difference in what Keyes said...(if I understand the context clearly)...
..and the absolute ugly outing to millions of people by Kerry and Edwards about Mary Cheney.
IMO, Kerry and Edwards lack any sense of moral conscience.
Keyes has moral conscience.....but many here are cutting him no slack because he believes what he says...
...He believes it about Mary Cheney and he believes it about Maya Keyes.
Can't you give him points for being consistent?
I certainly hope you're not saying that those of us who disagree with him don't.
LOL! He kept her working on his "campaign" for months, while he KNEW of her orientation, and only now, after going down in flames and AFTER she can no longer do him any good, gives her the boot. Yeah, real consistency, there!
Keyes has never been anything other than a blowhard loser at politics. Now, he's a confirmed hypocrite as well. One MORE nail in his coffin as a politician, as this will doubtless be tossed in his face the next time he runs for anything.
He just made all conservatives look like fools and jerks. People like him do more to damage this movement than they ever did good, and people still lionize the man. It's ridiculous.
It is one thing to publically state one's beliefs. It's quite another to single out other people's child by name and label her on worldwide TV.

They believe "Thou shall not speak ill of a fellow Republican" is in the Bible. If it had been one of Kerry's daughters they would have lauded Keyes. They are the hypocrites.
