THE folks at Msnbc are talking to former Republican presidential candidate and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Alan Keyes about hosting a 10 p.m. show up against Fox News' new hire, Greta Van Susteren. Meanwhile, Van Susteren, a lawyer before her O.J. Simpson commentary turned her into a CNN star, reportedly has penned an eight-page memo detailing CNN's demerits. She plans to keep the document secret as long as CNN doesn't try to paint her as an ungrateful traitor.

I agree. Judging from your posts, you're not smart enough.
Now, let's talk about your excuse for Alan Keyes trashing George W. Bush since the SECOND he clinched the GOP nomination to the present.
***Waiting***
You can say that again! I have had these articles for a long time just in case!
"Howlin, who said that good morals require agreement with Keyes? "

A paid Keyes worker; right here on FR;
told us ALL that if we didn't agree with Keyes'
on stem cells that we were NOT moral.
Is that a good enough answer?

It would be if you can back it up.
If anyone told you that you were evil
because you didn't hold their view on the issues,
you have every reason to hold then in contempt.
In 2000, McCain took the left of the GOP, about 15%.
Bush took the base of the GOP + center, about 75%.
Keyes took the right 5%.
Pat took 5% with him to the Reform Party.
The problem with Keyes is that he attacks the base and the center with his holier than thou attitude. Now how the heck are you gonna win by doing that?
The GOP always picks the team player. Why do you think Bob Dole got the nomination in 1996? He took the left and center, about 55%. He was a team player. The base and right stayed home and he lost.
As I said, those who are using the front runner strategy are the exception to the rule. It is a fairly successful way of manipulating the credulous, as you were manipulated, and there is nothing wrong with doing it. It is rather silly to think that this is due to some sort of virtue, as opposed to a political calculation.
By the way, what 'praising' are you stating that Keyes made of Gore.
Not until ten days before the election.
And I don't believe he's supported him since then.
I was being sarcastic! What do you call your vicious statement?
I'll be glad to, Howlin.
When did Keyes trash Bush?
Give me an example,
and I'll make an excuse.
I can back it up; so can the rest of these people.
If you can cite a quote in which Dr. Keyes said that GWB WAS evil, as opposed to one in which he said that GWB DID evil, bring it on!
The convention was when?The election was when?
Surely, Howlin can tell you the date she 'heard' Keyes endorsed Bush!
FYI, I received an e-mail on Thurs., Oct. 19, from the "Keyes 2000" committee, which reads as follows:
"Ambassador Keyes has pledged his support for George W. Bush, and we're all wishing him the best."
Keyes continues run for president

Associated Press
May 18, 2000 | WASHINGTON -- Why is Alan Keyes still running for president?
Even his own campaign asked that question in a recent mailing to North Carolina voters.
"There is a battle for the soul of the Republican Party, and the battle lines are starting to form," the mailer said. And those on the right side should cast their votes for Keyes, the conservative, anti-abortion rights activist and two-time presidential candidate.
.......
But the fact that Keyes will not win the Republican presidential nomination or be elected president has not stopped him.
Since his surprisingly strong showing in the Iowa caucuses, where he gained 14 percent of the vote, Keyes has fallen off the political radar screen.
He won three delegates Tuesday in Oregon's primary, and five recently in North Carolina, bringing his total to 10 -- 1,024 short of the number needed to win the nomination. (George W. Bush, the presumed GOP nominee, had 1,412 delegates as of Tuesday.) {end snip}
I posted to carenot, "It is an undisputed fact that a few people that actually do work for and are paid by Keyes are Freepers."
A deliberately misleading comment by another poster was,
"Your post suggests there's a good number of them....how about 3?"

In what language does a few suggest a "good number"? Is not 3 a few? Unbelievable !!!!!!! It sort of tells the whole story of their MO. I guess it all comes back to the meaning of "is". It's laughable.
