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

Ping! Another excellent analysis and article by Alan Keyes!

[Aquinasfan]

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.

"EARTH TO ALAN KEYES!!!! THIS IS THE REAL WORLD SPEAKING<
PLEASE GO PLAY IN THE CORNER WITH GEORGE WILL AND THE TOMBOTS.
Let those who understand politics get the job now!

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

[Rabid Dog]

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.

[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.

[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?

[churchillbuff]

The Republicans who vote for Schwarzenegger will owe Bill Clinton an apology for having given the nation the impression that they sincerely believed character to be an issue for those claiming high office.

Doug - defender of Willey - needs to hear Alan on this issue. I ask again: would Doug and all the others who rightly screamed about the treatment of Willey by Clinton, have kept their mouths shut if it had been ARNOLD who groped her? It's looking like they might have. They seem to care less about Willey and women who are victimized than the party label of the alleged victimizer

[TexasCajun]

I really don't see ANY Conservative principles being upheld by ANY Republican, including my President!

So Ahhnold is in good company.

[Corin Stormhands]

You know I said on the other thread that, indeed, I've often been embarrassed by the Republican Party. But what's happened in California to the party is not Arnold's fault. He may have taken advantage of it, but he has not corrupted the party.

Alan Keyes was whining about the GOP long before the recall movement ever started.

[KneelBeforeZod]

zzzzzzz... when is wolrdnetdaily gonna run something about W's sellouts?

probably never, They're just taking the easy road, so they can put out "told ya so" articles later.

If they were around, they would have been pro pete wilson

[Bushbacker]

Yet another example of why Dr
Keyes has never had the impact
on voters or the Republican Party
that his knowledge and intelligence warrants.

Fire-breathing denuniciations of
the "evil" of Arnold Schwarzenegger are rhetorical
overkill and give rise to the
left-wing caricature of the
"religious right."

The issues that motivate Dr Keyes
to hurl fire and brimstone--Arnold's social views--
are irrelevant on the gubernatorial level.

The abortion question, for example, cannnot be decided at the state level. Nor can the right
to bear arms.

Schwarzenegger supports tax cuts,
a reduction in wasteful social
spending, and responsive state
government. These are strong
conservative positions.

McClintock is a fine man, but history has shown that California
voters will reject ideological
conservatives.

The welfare of the people of
California---not conservative
purity--dictates the victory of
Schwarzenegger over the Davis-clone, Bustamonte.

"Arnold's corruption of Republican Party"

Mr. Keyes, Vanna wants to know if you would like to buy a "the"?

[sissyjane]

Gee whiz! I think the McClintock supporters are getting as desperate as Gov. Dufus supporters. Read the handwriting on the wall. Arnold is going to win like it or not.
