I never worked, strategized, or consulted for Alan Keyes. Wouldn't waste my time. I voted for him. I contributed money to his 1992 campaign (some of which ended up in his pockets, since he was paying himself $8500 per month out of his campaign fund - disgraceful), and I worked WITH him and his campaign organization in 1992 on some joint projects.
Keyes is a good memorizer and a fantastic orator. That does not qualify him as brilliant. For you to say he is "without a doubt a brilliant man" merely highlights your ignorance of the man. You're looking for a conservative icon - and Keyes ain't it.
And, hey, Eternal Vigilance: Know of what you speak before you idiotically display your lack of credentials. It'll save you some face and at least a shred of credibility and dignity
You're a funny guy.
I said you were funny because you are dumb enough to question my 'credentials', when you don't have any clue what they are.
