No Alan Keyes wants to turn this country into Theocracy.... You don’t win by losing..
Theocracy? Hardly. But Your statement does scream: "I AM NOT REALLY A CONSERVATIVE!" Only liberals complain about a political candidate/pundit turning the country into a theocracy. You would not have appreciated the Founding Fathers.
Alan Keyes loses elections because the electorate votes for symbolism over substance. And...The electorate lives in a constitutional republic and they want all of the freedoms and prosperity that it affords, but, at the same time, they want all of the "security" (cradle to grave care) and entitlements that are promised by a socialist state. You can't have it both ways. It is an impossible political climate for truly conservative candidates, especially with the socialist bandwagon media beating their unrelenting drum for conservatisms opponent.
