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.
Yep. Despite being a fine man, a wonderful orator, and one whom I agree with on many subjects, Dr. Keyes lost my support when he proclaimed his support for slavery reparations. There are neither living slaves nor slaveowners, and the former owners were stripped of their assets during Reconstruction, for the most part.
There is no basis to pay any money to anyone, especially money taken from the coffers fed by those whose ancestors had not yet arrived on these shores when slavery met its demise.
