Gentleman kindly describe the declensions which lead you to observe that Alan Keyes is way off the deep end and unworthy of respect. A man who should stay away from politics.

What exactly?

[Syncro]

I said nothing of the sort.

[GeronL]

I still like Keyes, especially since he has settled down into being a commentator.

Thanks for your question.

In this particular case it is a very cheap shot on his part. Political parties are tasked to win elections and it is certainly how Steele will be measured.

Keyes knows this and he’s tried to win elections and his most notable failure helped give us the disaster we have now.

There are a lot of things we need to be doing now to change congress next year - and there’s certainly much to debate on how - but “Steele Republicans: Like Overage Whores” is not one of them.

It’s not helpful, not smart. It does shock and get attention. Which is what Alan has been doing for years, all he’s been doing IMHO. In order have a career.

So that’s why I say it’s projection. Keyes is an attention whore.

Again, thanks for your question.

The fact that he thought he should be President despite never demonstrating any administrative ability. He never rallied popular support for a position, never put together a staff, never drafted legislation and then showed he could get it approved by a legislature, never demonstrated any of the many talents a President requires. If he had been a mayor of somewhere, governor of somewhere, an effective member of Congress, then I'd maybe consider him. But he's never held any political office by which to judge his talents. There's much, much more to governing than giving good speeches or having the right opinions or having an inflated ego.
