Like I said, I like Keyes and don't understand why so many Freepers bash him whenever his name comes up.

You should understand a little better after watching this particular campaign unfold, right?

Well, for one thing, his old supporters ( and most ogf us were )didn't like that he used the race card twice, a la Jackson & Sharpton. We didn't like that even befeore he Innauguration ceremonies, Alan was Bushbashing on T.V. ! Then, there's the wee stuff about his devious monitary scandals. There's a bunch more, but he lost almost all of his syupport here long ago.

Bottom line...Alan keyes isn't as great as his few remaining supporters here imagine him to be.

Because in the past 3 years many Republicans have migrated to this forum. For the most part they assume it's a Republican forum, which it isn't.

Terms like "team player" are a dead give away.

Because many are party-first pragmatists and are only "conservatives" by accident of birth. They withdraw support from worthy candidates who have principle and ability and then condemn the same for having no support.
