Well....it is true.....REPULICANS DO EAT THEIR OWN.....sheesh.

Ping! Another excellent analysis and article by Alan Keyes!

More drivel from Mr. "I'm smarter than everyone" Keyes.

Isn't it strange that the election of various conservative Democrats around the country hasn't led to the downfall of the Democrat Party?

On all the matters that touch upon the critical moral issues, Arnold Schwarzenegger is on the evil side. This is a fact. A mere list of the positions he supports is enough to make this plain: abortion as a "right," cloning of human beings, governmental classification of citizens by race, public benefits for sexual partners outside of marriage, disrespect for property rights against environmental extremism, repudiation of the right to bear arms – no more need be said to show that this candidate is wrong where human decency, human rights and human responsibility bear directly on political issues.

A second fact is this: Unnaturally divorced from these issues, conservatism mutates into mere immoral greed, to match the immoral lust of contemporary liberalism.

The first paragraph is a gimme. The second paragraph demonstrates real insight.

Excellent essay.

What's the over/under on the post number where someone will first mention that Keyes is not a "team player"?

Keyes isn't on the team.

He thinks he's on a cloud.

When they can't argue the message, they attempt to kill the messenger.

Right on post! Bump for McClintock.

Expect Keyes's character to be drug through the mud on this thread. His message will be ignored.

The Democratic Party is the party of abortion. One thing they do not tolerate (at least anymore) is a pro-life Democrat for any office of note. The Democrats know exactly what they stand for, although you won't often, if at all, hear them admit it. The Republicans do not know what they stand for, but they'll make all sorts of claims about who they are; their actions do not back up their words.

[jmc813]

They operate in politics as the AIDS virus operates in the body – it fools the cell into thinking it is a defender against infection, all the while silently reprogramming that same cell to work for the death of the man.

Wow. Keyes has a heck of a way with words. Awesome analogy.

[xzins]

I couldn't help it.

Keyes views are at least thought out views.

[sd-joe]

Keyes is a very good preacher of morality. He is a total failure in the political area. We should not take advice from people who are failures in the area that they are giving advice.

Keyes bases his argument on there being another workable alternative to voting for Arnold for Republicans. This is a false assumption. Voting for someone who will not win is simply voting for the worse alternative.

McC is a good man, but he is not as pure as Keyes makes him out to be. Taking money from the Indian Casinos, taking the side of Gray & Bustamonte on several occasions, going back on his word, making his own self interest and pride paramount, are all indications of serious flaws.

"His message will be ignored."

Finally! Some good news!

Seriously, I'm not ignoring it, I'm rejecting it in this case. An AS victory will give me 80% of what I want. A Davis victory will set us back terribly. And a McClintock victory is impossible right now.

[EternalVigilance]

In the context of this true reality, the decision to vote for Schwarzenegger is not a clever tactical calculation. It is a strategic blunder.

A perfect description of the short-sightedness of the alleged pragmatists.

[Aquinasfan]

No religious conservative can deny that it is a serious moral obligation of religious political leaders to stand against abortion.

Ping!

Mr. Keyes point would be true if Republicans were only conservatives, but they are not... Republicans are also moderate and at times progressive. You can't force the Republican party into the "just conservative need apply" category.

[G.Mason]

Typical b/s.

Blame one guy, Arnold Schwarzenegger, for all the ills befalling the Repulican party in California.

Dr. Keyes, just how big is that guy?

BTW is that McClintock and Pat Buchanan calling you?
