Ron Paul is a peacecreep, anti-Semitic, truther kook and Alan Keyes gave us Senator Barack Obama. Your move.

Alan Keyes was a place holder who had just recently moved to Illinois. He was a volunteer sacrificial lamb who didn’t have a chance against Chicago, and was understandably upset by the way the RHINOS treated his campaign.

I met him at the Petroleum Club in Albuquerque in 1998. 5 other potential presidential candidates were there, including that idiot McCain. Keyes, at that time, matched my political leanings issue by issue 100 per cent. We are both Army brats, too. After I talked to McCain I felt like I needed a shower. After I talked to Keyes I felt like I had made a friend, and I’ll bet we talked for an hour.

I don’t know what happened to Keyes after that senatorial election, but I certainly know how it feels to run in an election for the team and then have part of the team stick a knife in my back.

Alan Keyes gave us Senator Barack Obama.

That is a particularly gross mis-representation of the man and of the facts.

You have clearly failed to recall that but for the fact Jack Ryan (R) who was in the race had what were his sealed divorce court case details leaked to the press by Obama's minions -- thus forcing him put of the race, Obama would have run completely unopposed for the Senate seat he won, had Keyes not volunteered to step in and pick up what was left of a fallen standard.

Why don't you instead blame Peter Fitzgerald (R) who after having replaced the hideous Carol Moseley Braun and all that investment to do so chose to serve only one term in a Senate seat that would have been easily his to hold on to in Bush's re-election year.

Careless misrepresentation of a guy, who has found himself too often to be a "voice crying in the wilderness" and is one of the more articulate patriots the GOPe has tried to muzzle for years is simply inexcusable.

FReegards!
