No, but we could use a president who took Keyes’s thought seriously.

To: Brian Sears; Clara Lou
I supported him in 1996 and 2000. I thought that he was so intelligent and articulate and that if he just got some exposure people would flock to him. Unfortunately he showed signs in the 2000 election of being, as clara lou stated, brilliant but flawed.

He went from showing signs of his flaws in 2000 to proving them in the Illinois Senate race against B. Obama. First by carpetbagging to Illinois after criticizing H. Clinton for doing the same thing in New York and then by his pathetic attempts to out-pander Obama (anybody remember reparations talk?)

Alan Keyes is a brilliant man, but one whose large ego prevents him from being an effective leader and squandered the chances he had.

I won’t make the mistake of supporting him again.

Wasn't there a post about this a month or two ago?

IIRC Most freepers decided we we do not need Alan Keyes nor his website.

political opportunism and bottom feeding.

Instead of being a “learned elder statesman” he is off into lindon laroush nutcase territory.

I don’t think Alan Keyes would win an election from Freepers.

What makes you think he would win a general election?

I worked for him twice. I voted for him twice in the primaries.

Never again.

“The effort is spearheaded by several individuals at RenewAmerica, a grassroots organization affiliated with Keyes.”

Alan Keyes — drafting himself to run for President. That’s a new one, but not unexpected from this guy.

And he’ll run the kind of campaign he ran in Illinois. And Maryland.

Three strikes. He’s out.

The statement adds, “We Need Alan Keyes for President, Inc., is a political action committee . . . not managed by Alan Keyes.”

The effort is spearheaded by several individuals at RenewAmerica, a grassroots organization affiliated with Keyes.


Just follow the money..... Why pass up a good opportunity to rake in a few bucks to be spread out amoung the ‘several individuals at RenewAmerica’......

I’m sure that Obama would jump at a chance for a re-match.
