I know the past remains in the past, but the uninformed missed our soiid and vocal support in the past of certain persons whose names are poison, but who still personify those we were so supportive of in the past.

I know that Duncan Hunter would be a great choice and deserving of any real support ... I think Sarah Palin is the real deal, but too often we are eating our own in the case of persons who may not qualify (in today's minds) for the top spot, but who still speak eloquently for true conservatism.

Of course I speak of Alan Keyes, who still can speak to the masses in an intelligent manner for the most vital and revered portions of conservatism. But he is reviled and I find my self looking at his latest "SINS" and wonder where the brains of understanding the English language disappeared to over the last eight years. Not totally right, but a great voice for our side ... and he is reviled and subjected to scorn here.There are not many eloquent conservatives out there who have the imprimatur of Ronald Regan, but Ambassador Keyes did.

He is just one example of how FR has changed and how it 'eats its own'. There are others who could speak for us ... and it is vital that we start now or yesterday to gather our human resources and start the good fight for the Republic and the Ideals we hold dear.

I think just about everyone here recognizes Alan Keyes as a great conservative. However, some believe that it is impossible for him to ever win the presidency (just as many believe the same about Duncan Hunter) and for this reason they may not get the support that many wish they would.

This is TOTALLY DIFFERENT from refusing to support someone on the grounds that they aren't a conservative.

I saw Keyes speak at a CRA state convention once. It was a divisive convention and out of the dozen speakers, Keyes was the ONLY one that got a standing ovation (or an ovation of any type) from EVERYONE.

He is a fantastic speaker.
