It's a shame, isn't it? The CP should have been Alan Keyes' vehicle to air his ill-informed opinions. There was just that pesky matter of Keyes' having to win an election to get the nomination, which, as we all know, is his Kryptonite.
In order to “win” anything with the CP, he would have had to agree to policies that he knows would endanger the country. I’m thankful he stood firmly where he has always consistently stood - for an America that remains strong in the world - and therefore “lost.”
Of course, in the process of rejecting Dr. Keyes’ brand of Reagan conservatism, the CP stuck a finger in the eye of their long-time California affiliate, and now instead of being “the third largest party in America based on voter registrations” they’re sixth or seventh. And instead of being the “fastest growing party in America,” they’re the fastest shrinking.
They can’t say that I didn’t warn them.
