Declarationist candidate.

Is that someone who thinks a letter to King George III trumps the Constitution as the law of the land?

No, he was not Ambassador to the United Nations. He was ambassador to the United Nations Economic and Social Council, not as ambassador to the U.N. as a whole or to any individual nation.

He has run for lots more than POTUS and every race his margin of loss GROWS.

Alan Keyes is not running for President, he is running for campaign donations just like he has in the past.

He is not the slightest bit embarrassed about the fact that he pays himself a salary out of campaign donations.

Think about that before you send him money.

Alan Keyes has been given the same kind of treatment that George Allen or Dan Quayle received. This apparently is some kind of reflection on his qualifications to serve, but in reality is is mostly just a discrediting and pre-emptive move to choke off any real debate on the future of this country, by invoking totally irrelevant “shortcomings”, which are only means to mock and obfuscate the positions of the candidate.

So George Allen pinpointed one of the “opposition research” specialists that was dogging his campaign, Dan Quayle was excoriated for a spelling error, and Alan Keyes was slammed for pulling exactly the same tactic that Herself, the Cold and Joyless, has applied in New York (apparently, this is OK in New York, as Bobby Kennedy had done something similar back in the 1960’s).
