Presidential candidate Alan Keyes may be leaving the GOP. In a conference call last night, Keyes is said to have told supporters that staying in the Republican Party would be "an occasion of sin" and he's ready to bolt. Keyes ... reportedly wants no part in selecting the "type of deodorant we need to make a stinking candidate acceptable to conservatives." A Keyes supporter confirms to Radar that the former Reagan administration official "stated in the conference call that he could no longer remain in the Republican Party."
As for what's next, a third party bid seems like a good bet. Keyes hinted at the possibility on a radio program in January, and an e-mail sent out by the campaign after last night's conference call ... included a link for supporters who "want to vote for Alan as your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice on the Constitution Party presidential poll." A Keyes message board commenter who claims to have been on the conference call last night said regarding the possibility of a Constitution Party run that, "Alan asked us to pray about it." ...
agree
I’ve been talking to you here at Free Republic and reading your work at Renew America, but I hadn’t made the connection between the two until today. I’ve enjoyed the columns.
I’ve seen the same thing in him. He used to be the finest speaker in the land. Now he just rants at everyone.
Yeah, I’m sure folks will be keeping THAT promise...
Yawn.
Yawn.
The incumbent was a Republican
Vote freedom or vote "Republican"... the choice is yours.
Keyes rocks!
Below is directly from the Const. Party site and their platform. Just what Obama and Hitlery are saying.
You are sitting safe in So. Dak. 15 miles south of me are Federal troops and battles going on in the streets of
Tijuana that look like Bagdad two years ago.
Also kidnappings, beheadings, etc are part of the scean.
This also spills over to the American side here in San Diego.
These people also support the IslamOfascists in the Middle East.
Saving money is nice but when the enemy takes over because you have pulled back from the world, you are finished.
They don’t make pockets in shroudes.
(From the CP platform)
America is engaged in an undeclared war with an ill-defined enemy (terrorism), a war which threatens to be never ending, and which is being used to vastly expand government power, particularly that of the executive branch, at the expense of the individual liberties of the American people.
The “war on terrorism” is serving as an excuse for the government to spend beyond its income...
Foreign Involvement
The Constitution Party has consistently opposed American involvement in conflicts in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Central and South America. The United States has no interest in these areas which would justify the sacrifice of Americans on foreign battlefields
The Const. Party perverts our constitution.
The Const. Party is no better than what the far left anti war liberals are advocating.
Your phony "freedom vote" will give us Jamie Gorelick on the Supreme Court, the abolition of The Electoral College, a return to treating terrorism as a police matter, Socialized Medicine, the highest taxes the country will have ever seen and legalized partial-birth abortion on demand.
Enjoy your "freedom"...and stop praising the deity of a death-cult. It's not funny or clever, even in jest.
I respect Keyes and support him.I can’t say what I want to post.I left the pubs 2 days ago.Wanted to be an independent but could not vote in Pa as an indi.So I am a democrat and have decided to check out Obama:)Heehee
“Keyes would mop the floor with McCain, as he did in 2000.”

PS,My vote is for sale.I want a hi-def flat screen TV.
That's no perception. We don't call 'em RINO's for nothing! They've abrogated core values like moral authority, self-defense (RKBA), fiscal discipline, corruption and protecting national sovereignty.

As opposed to McCain, whose aggressive military interventionism would make Cheney look like Gandhi:

Nader and Keyes should be the nominees.
