Keyes serves that purpose, and it's a valuable one. Leftists understand this with their "purists". We'd rather throw ours to the sharks. That's why they're in power and we're not. Not to rain on your parade, but actually the Leftists are in power because they pretended to be moderates and conservatives well enough to fool enough people into voting for them. If the Democrats had ran nationally on the platform advocated by their hard-left purist Daily Kos wing, they'd be a super-minority right now.

Six of one, half-a-dozen the other. The point of my post was that, in light of that reality, purists are needed to keep things moving toward the ultimate goal. For them, and for us.
They understand that... they value and fight for their purists. We destroy ours.
