“It is was actually Jack Ryan’s fault, not Keyes’ fault. Ryan stepped down when his divorce records were made public.”
Yes. Why is it that Barney Fag can run a boy brothel out of his basement and survive, but a pubby has to resign over a divorce?
“look at the Republican establishment that refuses to fully support conservative candidates.”
Fully? Did Keyes get *any* support from the GOP organization?
“Keyes absolutely crushed Obama in debates”
Obama looked like the moron he is. I would have felt sorry for him if he weren’t such a vile commie scoundrel.
Keyes has a good command of the English language, and can be an eloquent speaker, but he is lousy at politics. All the other things you say are generally correct. The Dems have two standards, one for them, one for Pubbies, and the Pubbies let them get away with it.
I am not a Pubbie, btw, I am a Conservative. I will express myself loud and clear in the primaries, however, in a general election I will not stay home in a general election - I will vote for the most conservative, least left candidate. Boycotting elections, or voting for a can’t-win third party candidate will keep us in the fix we find ourselves today. The only solution to the problem if we do not handle it at the ballot box and by making ourselves heard, is then revolution - that takes it beyond the tea parties.
