Pure and utter BS!
McCain, Paul-I can understand but disagree.
Then I learned her PAC gave $ to Grahamnesty.
sigh...
She really shouldn’t be supporting anyone in a primary and especially not someone who is pro-choice. Someone with a pulse should be advising her before she loses her base.
I like the Gov but not so sure about a ‘Paul’ endorsement...good article here:
http://loyaltoliberty.blogspot.com/2009/09/bill-johnson-thoroughbred-conservative.html
Rand Paul is solidly Pro-Life. He supports overturning Roe V Wade. What more does Alan Keyes the man with a big ego and can’t win a thing want? I’m getting really tired of conservatives slandering each other over who is Pro-Life enough. It is stupid. You are on the same team so find something substantive to disagree on.

ELKTON — Kentucky GOP Senate Candidate Bill Johnson today issued the following statement about the Sarah Palin endorsement:
“According to reporting by several sources, Sarah Palin disagrees with Mr. Paul on some issues, Mr. Paul has never spoken to the Governor, and $2000 changed hands. Frankly, it appears like typical Washington behavior by two individuals claiming to be outside of politics as usual.
“While I respect Sarah Palin for her personal choices, I stand in disagreement with her and Mr. Paul’s public policy position of letting the states decide the issue of abortion. This is simply pro-choice for states. Instead, we need to protect our God-given unalienable right to life at all levels of government, including the federal level.
“It lacks honor to base an endorsement primarily on ‘shaking things up in Washington.’ We already have enough of the wrong kind of shake from the Washington Democrats and Libertarians. Instead, we need to elect principled leadership on the issues and chart a course back to the Ronald Reagan conservative platform.”
I’m not overjoyed with the RandPaul support, but Keyes is the last person that needs to be critiquing Palin.
Palin has also supported...Kasich, Portman and other Ohio hopefuls. As well as other conservatives. Sprinkled in are a few I don’t prefer, but overall she is supporting coservatives.
Keyes makes the mistake of attributing Ron Paul’s ideas to his son. Keyes has made himself irrelevant. Rand Paul is the strongest constitutional conservative in the race who actually can articulate those views without sounding like a old coon dog.
Paul thinks states can allow abortion if they want to. So does Palin. They pretend the Fourteenth Amendment doesn’t exist.
Conversely, Bill Johnson stands on the Reagan pro-life plank, which recognizes the personhood of the child and their protection by the Fourteenth Amendment.
I'll second that and say it louder:
Pure and utter BS!
2010 Kentucky Senate Race
Rand Paul (R) 49%
Daniel Mongiardo (D) 35%
Some Other Candidate 3%
Not Sure 13%
Bill Johnson doesn't even register on the radar.
But, then again, Keyes was never about actually WINNING elections.
Keyes is an idiot.
- Rand Paul. http://www.randpaul2010.com/issues/a-g/abortion-2/
Sit down and shut up Allen.
Conservatives need to come to grips with the meaning of Federalism. If we get enough right-thinking U.S.S.C. justices and Roe v. Wade is overturned then States will still be able to choose to have legal abortion. I am ok with this and that does not make me “pro-choice”. Keyes needs to cut the crap.
Who is A Keyes? Never heard of him.
From what I understand, Rand Paul is pro-life. And no question that Sarah Palin is pro-life.
Alan Keyes is a political dimwit.
