What do you mean, 'undisciplined rhetoric'? Keyes rhetoric is some of the most disciplined on the planet.

That explains how his fire and brimestone condemnations manage to alienate even most Republicans. Unless of course you believe that's his intention?

He hasn't 'repeatedly attacked the President'. That's B.S. and a slander no matter how many times you repeat it.

You should know better than to accuse me of slander. Unlike you, I NEVER post anything that I can't back up.

Allow me to enlighten you;

Here's Keye's attacking Bush on his stem cell decision;

"The evil that you know, the evil that inspires you to fight again is not the worst evil," Keyes said. "The worst evil creeps behind your lines and dominates your leadership."

… "He accused Bush of being evil," said Chuck Lutz, president of the Tarrant County Republican Assembly. "I don't think anyone in that room would say George W. Bush is trying to see how much evil he can get away with. "I have heard him go off the deep end before. I can't say I was surprised, but I did not expect it." ….

Here's another attack by Keyes on Bush in ANOTHER article;

"If Republicans get sucked into this false reckoning of the political landscape, we deserve what we get. The Bush family has never represented conservatism, and there is not much reason to think that it does so today." _____________________________

So are you ready to apologize for accusing me of "slandering" Keyes?

I had never seen that last one before.

At least Alan is smarter than you. He voices his disagreements in between election cycles, not two and a half months from a general election like you and your friends.

Just how do you work that into an "attack" on President Bush by Alan Keyes?

The Bush family has always represented the business wing of the GOP, not the conservative wing. X41 opposed Reagan for the nomination in 1980, remember? And he did so as the inheritor of all the support that went to Gerald Ford when Ford successfully opposed Reagan for the nomination in 1976. Nelson Rockefeller, Ford, both Bushes, and Bob Dole have all represented the New York money-center wing of the party and the interests that operate through the financial centers and law firms in Manhattan (see Theodore White, The Making of the President 1964), whereas Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, Bob Taft, and Newt Gingrich all represented, or came from, the conservative wing.

That's just basic Republican geography. Keyes's reminder that the Bush family are not conservatives is in no way out of line.
