What do you think we'll see first, the fence or an apology?

My money is on Door Number Three: Alan Keyes actually being elected to an office......any office.

[Rex Anderson]

The Aug. 18 "agreement and order," signed byDeclaration Foundation Executive Director Mary Parker Lewis, a top Minuteman adviser, acknowledged that the charity made false statements in seeking to solicit donations, failed to properly administer money it had collected, and withheld documents sought as part of an "investigative subpoena."

Alan Keyes should be ashamed, and you owe a HUGE apology to those of us who have been on top of this MESS.

Corrruption is not a conservative value. We'll let Keyes take it with him as he attempts to become a 3rd party candidate in '08, helping Hillary & Obama into the White House and Blair House.

You are a piece .... of work, EV. How could you not know the Minuteman/Keyes group was lying all along? Do you honestly expect the thinking public to believe it was some sort of "snafu"? What in the hell are you smoking?

$50 to any Freeper who can name ANY and/or ALL 'groups' Connie Hair has belonged to...

Campfire Girls, Metarie, LA, 1965-67; I was tempted to add the Girl Scouts from 1968-70 except they were busted for selling bogus shortbread as TreeBoils.

Please donate my $50.00 marecun to FR in lieu of flowers.

'Scuse me... that would be "the everybody does it" defense... and that doesn't work when you hold yourself out as purer than pure and the victim of a conspiracy perpetrated by your enemies... no, this lays it right back at your feet. Don't try to change the subject.

This isn't about anybody else, Newt, Bush, Cheney or the Man in the Moon. This is about MCDC and DF.

[PDR]

dont think so. its run by adults.

[PDR]

Rove had nothing to do with it.

[EternalVigilance]

Did Keyes' orgs ever get fined when you worked for him?

[EternalVigilance]

Did Newt's orgs ever get fined?

Has any PAC you've worked for ever been fined?

How did your colleagues at the Washington Times/UPI cover such stories?

Just curious.

As I said in my first post on this thread, it sounds like DF deserved this fine, and admitted as much.

Folks need to keep things in perspective and not get carried away by those with a personal anti-Keyes agenda.

There is nothing personal about guffawing and ridiculing persistent grifters whatever their pedigree, or lack thereof, whatever the case may be.

I rather think the problem is that Keyes just can't quite catch up to Jesse Jackson...and it annoys him.

[EternalVigilance]

Ridiculous.

[Professor Kill]

I didn't "run him." Karl Rove, and the IL GOP, did. (Even though they ultimately broke every promise they gave the man in the process...)

Do you really want to bring up broken promises when discussing Keyes history (or lack thereof) in Illinois?

[harrowup]

Ridiculous.

Just for the record you belive that "...guffawing and ridiculing persistent grifters..." is ridiculous.

That makes it easier for all to understand how you manage to shave in the morning without a mirror.

[Registered]

Yeh, everyone's a crook but you. Got ya.

[EternalVigilance]

So, which part of "they deserved to be fined" did you not comprehend?

This hits the nail on the head on so many levels.
