The link to audio of the speech is reproduced in post #2.
It's 22 minutes long.
First you’re for Huckabee, and now Alan Keyes and the Constitution Party?
You are quite the operator, aren’t you..?
What’s weird about going from Huckabee to Keyes? Although, Huckabee at least had a shred of a chance....
When Kurt Evans (if that is his real name) was shilling for Huckabee, Huckabee had already no chance of winning, and was doing nothing but sabotaging Mitt Romney, clearing the way for McCain. There was no other logical outcome.
Now that McCain is the nominee due to Huckabee’s efforts, Mr. Evans suddenly is for Alan Keyes, trying to lead people like a pied piper away from the GOP completely and to the Constitution Party. The net result, if people were to follow his lead would be Obama as the next President. There is no other logical outcome. Kurt’s actions have either been calculated, or out of abject stupidity. It can only be one or the other.
I heard that both of the people in the crowd gave him a standing ovation.
There are more—and more honorable—reasons than your either/or scenario.
Some are dismayed to the point of abhorrance at the Gramscian sabotage and sullying within the GOP leadership, whether your personal key issues are fiscal and/or Biblical (’SoCon’) reasons.
I believe it better to throw the usurpers and corrupters out than to abandon the GOP. Others believe otherwise but not all are stupid, or smart shills. In this case, dissent is not unpatriotic.
I agree with Keyes’ stated principles but not his strategies, as I’ve said elsewhere.
I wish more Conservatives would understand and stand ardently for the principles Keyes advocates.
Ah ha....I see what you’re saying.
Well Keyes effect on this election will be nil - no matter what anyone says.
So how much is Soros going to contribute to Alan Keyes For President election fund?
Bump for later reading
I believe the most dangerous candidates for president in this cycle were (1) Romney, (2) McCain, (3) Obama and (4) Clinton.Those are the only 4 candidates that were viable. So you admit, your order of preference in this presidential race has been:
Any other reasons you may claim are neither realistic or practical.
We go to the polls with the candidate we have, not the candidate we wish we had.
Elections are about either/or, choosing one or the other, not “none of the above”.
Elections are pragmatic things.
Elections are about confronting reality, with realistic options.
The reality is this election is McCain vs. Obama, Republican vs. Democrat. Period.
McCain may not be your perfect definition of “conservative”, but he is still the most conservative person at this juncture capable of being sworn in to office on January 20, 2009. That is the reality.
The Democrats have been so successful where Republicans have not because Democrats take every opportunity to advance their agenda, no matter how small it is. And they give no quarter to Republicans to advance their agenda on any front. The Democrats are the Palestinians of American politics.
You can speak in hyperbolic terms about McCain advancing the Democrats’ agenda, but no matter how much that even may be true, he will not advance it an iota of what Obama would. Even if we lose some ground in some areas with McCain, it is not nearly what we would lose with Obama, and those are the two choices we are faced with, and no others.
If McCain displeases us as president, then in 2012 we nominate someone else, and be thankful that at least it wasn’t President Obama during those 4 years.
Excellent speech, Kurt Evans. Thanks for posting it!
What do you mean, if??? McCain displeases most of us as a Senator...He'll be a disaster as a President...
You liberal Republicans have forced us into accepting one of your liberal Republican candidates for President...
You guys deserve an 'Obama'...
That is very well said Kurt Evans.
While I was sympathetic to your cause in Huckabee, as a Reagan Conservative, I could not stand with you. In your support of Keyes however, I am happy to stand with you, and I welcome your not inconsiderable talents and zeal- For in Keyes you see, we can all find common ground, just like you and I.
Far be it from anyone here to cast aspersions upon a Reagan Conservative such as Dr. Keyes. They belittle him out of the fear of what he, and his supporters represent. If he does win the CP nomination, it can well mean the end of the Republican hopes this year. McCain's support is a mile wide and an inch deep. If one merely gets the ball rolling, I can well imagine wholesale abandonment of the Republicans altogether. My, what a wrench that would cast into the well-oiled machinery of the Globalists, not to mention D.C. itself.
Why, Are you worried it might be more than he has already contributed to McCain?
