Except he didn’t do that. I expect folks like yourself to see past media smear jobs.

Ah. last time I checked, Keyes had broken contact with his daughter. Provide me a quote where Keyes says he accepts his daughter for who and what she is and I’ll call it good.

Republican presidential candidate Alan Keyes. . .

There's perhaps 1,000 people in the U.S. that even know Keyes is running for Prez.

He could have used a veto.

My understanding is that the law was passed by a veto-proof margin.

Why would he accept her self-destructive lifestyle? He’s loves her after all.

Anyone who says he has “broken contact” with his daughter is not telling the truth.

There was no law authorizing gay marriage.

There is no law authorizing gay marriage.

To this day.

That’s the point.

He can still condemn the ‘lifestyle’ but love his daughter. Like I said, show me a statement where Keyes accepts his daughter for who she is.

You're right. I was thinking of the laws around the abortion pill. In the case of gay marriage, it was a court decision.

Keyes, like most intellectuals (and I give him that) are good with the rhetoric. But like most politicians, when the rubber meets the road - things get different.

“Lies” you say to me. I live in Maryland and I witnessed it first hand. He cried about the MdGOP not giving him money and then went to the RNC, when they told him he didn’t have a chance, he cried race, accused the GOP of being racist.

Facts my man.

Why would I have to do that? It’s just a sleazy attack that is fit for Obama-supporters, perhaps, but not for FR.

You surprise me. Of course, lots of folks have surprised me in the election cycle.

If there was ever a man who had a right to complain about the actions of the GOP, the party he has fought for for decades, it’s Alan Keyes. But, he continues to primarily focus instead on the principles that are the only hope and salvation of the Republic, much less the Republican Party.

When asked by whether Keyes "kicked her out", she says that he "cut off all financial support", sidestepping a bit. She then admits that she is "homeless".

it was a court decision.

It was a court opinion, one the court itself admitted that they had no authority or ability to enforce.

THat, and the biggest theft of inalienable liberty seen in US history with the health care bill he signed....

In Mass you may be fined and punished for the simple act of daring to exercise your inalienable right to life.

The idea that this guy’s the “conservative” in this race is beyond comical.

Alan Keyes' Daughter Coming Out

Conservative's Daughter Making 1st Public Appearance As Lesbian

Feb. 13, 2005

(CBS) The 19-year-old daughter of Alan Keyes has a Valentine for the anti-gay rights conservative pundit and frequent Republican candidate.

Maya Marcel-Keyes will be making her first public appearance as a gay activist at a Valentine Day's rally in front of the Maryland State House, says Dan Furmansky, the leader of Equality Maryland, a gay rights group.

Last summer her father, a conservative pundit and frequent Republican candidate, caused a stir during the Republican convention by labeling Vice President Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter a sinner and calling homosexuality "selfish hedonism."

"It was kind of strange that he said it like a hypothetical," she told the Washington Post. "It was really kind of unpleasant."

Marcel-Keyes told the Post her parents have thrown her out of the house, stopped speaking to her and refuse to pay for college because she is gay. She said she loves her parents.

Keyes' Web site says he is against "the homosexual rights agenda, including same-sex marriage."

“You mistake your own opinion for fact.”

Never idolize a politician. You will only get let down. I speak the truth. Keyes cried like a race-baiting Jesse Jackson clone.

If you look at past Keyes threads, you will see I am not alone. I can not take a man seriously about a topic area when his actions (or lack thereof) are suspect.
