Keyes?
Thank God for comic relief.
Seriously, Keyes?
LOL
If California conservatives show up to vote for Keyes, they'll vote for down-ticket conservative Republican congressmen.
Chances are they'll stay away in droves for McCain.
If I was going to start a national political party just about the last person I would nominate would be Keyes. Gawd man don’t you know among conservatives he is considered a joke?
Since so much power in DC is apportioned based on the party in majority power, it makes sense to establish a majority party rather than just endorsing congressmen in both parties while conceding Congressional Leadership to hard Left Democrats.
Laugh all you want. I don’t care.
I know him, and he’s the smartest individual I’ve ever met. And no one has stood fast for what I believe in for decades like he has. In the face of folks who are even nastier than you’re being.
Unity?
Who's at the top of the ticket shouldn't matter if the other Congressional names are going to be ticked.
I voted for Keyes (who was not my first choice but someone I could go with over McCain or Huckabee by the time the primary came to my state).
There are 2 candidates in this race. Only 2. Anything else is a protest vote as mine was. I do not consider my vote wasted. I also do not see any upside to enabling Obama to be victorious.
McCain is where he is because Democrats helped get him there. He is still a better presidential candidate than Obama. McCain may not even make it four years, Obama barring unforeseen circumstances, most assuredly will. Possibly 8 years. I don't think anyone is predicting 8 years of McCain.
Only if your definition of "conservative" includes folks like John McCain.
Alan Keyes, or Alicia Keyes?
This isn’t an Onion article?
He must have at least 8 or 9 supporters left.
As stated above, I don't care if he is or not.
Your attachment of the loaded word “consultant” to what I said has nothing to do with the reality of the formation of the AIP. Nothing.
Based upon your wording of post #15, I don't believe the use of the work consultant was "loaded". Does "Lending his mind" mean his in, or helping out?
The kind of “consultation” Dr. Keyes has provided to our efforts is of the sort that you yourself could access personally twice a week if you wanted to, when he makes himself available to folks on national conference calls.
The tone of that doesn't really endear me to your point. Instead of saying nicely, "hey y'all, check this out.. [insert contact info for people like me that don't go to AlanKeyes.com on a regular basis], you need to make it sound like I'm a fool for not knowing how to dial a random number and listen to what Alan has to say.
You're mistaken. There was no real choice. It wasn't allowed this time around.
Looks like conservatives may actually NOW have a choice in this election for President.
Keyes is not a conservative, he is a nut.
I think you could power a city on his vanity and self delusion.
Are you sure this isn’t an Onion article?
We’re trying. That’s really all I’ve been trying to make possible this whole election.
It’s a joke alright, but the joke is on those poor people who think they are helping the conservative movement by supporting a nut.
Not sure if this is like Charlie Brown kicking a football, or Linus waiting for the great pumpkin.
Either way, psychiatric help is needed.
Keyes?
LOL
Everyone might want to note that the Republicans now act just like the Democrats. No discussion of foundational principles whatsoever. All they’ve got are fear and personal attacks.
I remember schoolyard bullies. They loved to pour out the vitriol until some little wiry kid kicked their butts. They got a whole lot quieter after that.
I’d rather vote for the possibility to help build a real conservative party rather than waste that vote on uber liberal Bob Do...er John McCain.
