Alan Keyes on Hannity and Colmes LIVE THREAD

[VeryUnprogressive]

Alan Keyes smoking Alan Colmes over the Alabama Ten Commandments issue! Tune in!

[Tribune7]

Keyes has smoked Colmes through the first commerical break!

No biggie. I don't know if I ever saw a guest not smoke Colmes thought the first break.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Al Sharpton was on once. He didn't smoke him. In fact, it was a luvvvvvfest.

[Miss Marple]

Did you know that Bill Kristol and Alan Keyes were roomates in college, and that Kristol ran Keyes Senate campaign?

Small world.

[habs4ever]

Horseshit! The pic of Al, baby ,yesyerday, with his hands outstretched to the heavens, with his greying goatee and his pearly whites a grinning, reminded me of a tinpot dictator.A younger Mugabe, and Kofi Annan clone...

So up yours!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Now, why does that not surprise me?

I wonder if he ever got his accounting squared away.

I don't know WHAT your posting experience was with Sagemon Kid -- never heard of the person. I grew up in MN and would never think of Canada as anything different than the good/bad parts of US --- calm down.

[Hotdog]

It's called a true statesman...not many left

[Robert_Paulson2]

Thanks I knew something was wrong there... did I get this right in my reading of it?

[bvw]

Keyes wanted Bush to get a genuine decalartion of war, thus honoring the Constitution and not the overgrowth of mutant pettifoggery that is commonly called "constitutional law".

[RedBloodedAmerican]

LOL

[MarthaNOStewart]

I TEACH CRIMINAL JUSTICE, AND YOU ARE FULL OF HOT AIR!!

[NordP]

Oh...here it is.

Yah, S Kid...pretty inflammatory statement to be making on your part. Best to post constructive thoughts, not name calling, or Country bashing statements.

[Hotdog]

hey...calm down...The Canadians are on the inside looking out...sort of like being in prison...they won't bite...they just spit... (in due respect just some one them...not all)

When I asked Byron the Aussie what he thought sinky did before the Internet came about, he answered that sinky likely yelled at the pizza delivery boy. A brilliant insight.

Yo! Pharm! How's it hangin'?

Still the same nasty blatherskite you've always been, I see.

It must suck to go through life, nursing grudges.

Jefferson's knowledge of ancient England meshed with the knowledge of his times. More recently it's thought that Christians and Jews were in England with the Romans.

[NordP]

And now, farewell.

"...but Keyes has proven, time and again, that he cannot work within the confines of a political party or a political process..."

Perhaps that's where the distinction is.

You (and seemingly the other detractors) view Keyes' unwavering conservative positions, and refusal to capitulate on principle as a negative attribute, something that makes him "unelectable" "divisive" and therefore not a welcome, or electable, member of the GOP.

I (only speaking for myself) view this a mark of a great man. An individual who will stand with integrity, and let the chips fall where they may. And if it means that he gets 1% of the vote, so be it. At least he can go home with his head held high.

Bush, with his 400 billion dollar socialist big government Medicare expansion, and his $15 billion for AIDS in Africa, and his proposed amnesty for illegal aliens, and his signing of the unconstitutional McCain campaign finance reform bill, and his applauding of the Supreme Court decision effectively leaving racist affirmative action in place, and his refusal to remove us from the WTO and other organizations that destroy our national sovereignty, and his wimpy tax cuts combined with a proposed "rebate check" for non-taxpayers, and his feverish attempts to cover-up for the treacherous Saudi regime, and his support of the unconstitutional "assault weapons" ban, and his double-standard for Israel, and the Patriot Act, and the socialist No Child Left Behind Program etc etc etc etc.. has proven that with control of two branches of government, he'll choose to be a savvy politician, but not a bedrock conservative.

This separates Keyes and Bush, and perhaps it's what differentiates our opinions about the two.

[VeryUnprogressive]

Thank you kindly! :-)

[habs4ever]

For a man to be great, he must do great things.Talk is cheap and costs nothing from Keyes, so you get tons of it, all unsolicited, too.He's not a do-er.

[RLK]

I never imagined so many people hated Keyes here. I'm almost sorry I started this thread.

---------------------------

Many people here hate Alan Keyes. He brings up questions many people are uncomfortable or unwilling to think about. However, any time Keyes says something it's a good idea to listen. If you're not careful you just may learn something.
