George W. Bush ran for Congress in 1977, long before anybody even heard of Alan Keyes.

That doesn't exactly put him "in the limelight," now does it?

As for Keyes' saying good things about Bush, you'll have to point some out to me.

Keyes has said Bush is a likeable fellow on several occasions, but I didn't say Keyes said "good" things about Bush, but that Keyes supported the war in Iraq. Where did you get "good?" You certainly couldn't have been addressing anything I said. In any case, measured criticism, even above and beyond what you quoted, does not equate to "bashing." If it did, then I could cite as "praise" the quote posted earlier on this thread, where Keyes told an interviewer that he would support Bush for the 2004 election. In both cases, there is a big difference.

Serious question: At what point is one allowed to criticize someone's actions without being labled a "basher?"

It certainly puts him in more of the limelight than Alan Keyes. And for almost his entire life.

Thinking about this last night, it occured to me that the only time we're discussing Keyes is when we are disagreeing over some remark HE has made about George W. Bush.

You need to ask yourself why it is that the only time Keyes gains the national spotlight is when he has said something controversial about Bush and/or the GOP.

Can you name a time that either George W. Bush or the RNC has said anything degrading or controversial about Alan Keyes?
