PAGE SIX/Lock & loaded (Keyes MSNBC Show?)

New York Post ^ | 1/04/02 | RICHARD JOHNSON with PAULA FROELICH and CHRIS WILSON

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.

Thanks for posting that address for Thune! We should all be supporting him and talking about how we can take back the Senate instead of keyes. There is a lot of real work to be done to make sure that daschle will no longer be Majority Leader of the Senate!

I spent my afternoon on the important topic (joke!) Spurrier is resigning threads keeping everyone updated from OKC Sports Talk Radio. Think I should have stuck with that for today!

[Miss Marple]

Them's fighting words. They are not two of a kind, and you know it.

Bush wanted an end to the personal destruction side of politics, perfected by the Clintonistas. His judgement is that there is no future in the prosecution of these two, especially since they are so good at covering their tracks.

Why should he sacrifice his agenda to satisfy your desires for revenge, especially since it wouldn't work anyway?

You see, this is the whole problem with you folks. If you had said you didn't vote for him because he wouldn't discuss or prosecute the Clintons for their crimes, I would have had no problem with your opinion.

But instead, you hurl an extra poisonous insult that he is no different than Clinton, and you know, deep in your heart, that is not true.

[Torie]

Well I don't think it was a conspiracy, although it may be both desired taking Bush down in some part of their brain. At most, it was a conscious parallelism (that is an antitrust law term). But the public stand at the end was a tepid support of Bush, even as Kristol, quite accurately as it turned out, thought that Bush would lose the popular vote by 1%.

[Howlin]

See #399.

It will be interesting to see if he has the eclectic intellectual curiousity and range of say a Bill Buckley, who kept on trucking on TV with some skill for about 20 years, before he sort of ran out of gas.

Nice to hear your decent voice in this malevolent whirlwind.

Keyes does indeed have the range you want. One of the recent dinner conversations I had with him was about several Shakespearean plays. He follows science, contemporary movies, technology, and a host of other matters.

The show should be fun.

Best to you,

Richard F.

Here is an AP article from July 26,2000 stating Keyes supports Bush and Cheney.

[VRWC For Truth]

He didn't investigate
the treasonous activities
of the Clinton administration

Name one President who investigated a previous President.

[Rowdee]

ME: "Had Keyes not stayed in to fight all the way to the adoption of the party platform...

YOU: "Ooops.......I hope your other facts are more accurate than that one!"...

YOU: "The platform was all settled BEFORE the convention -- it was adopted AT the convention, the end of July".....

Hmmmmmm.....accuracy? Hello! Up and until the platform is adopted, it is subject to change....hence, I used the words "adoption of the party platform"!! It only gets adopted at the convention by the conventioneers. And I still maintain that had Keyes gotten out, the dirty work of changing the platform would have included making it a GOP practice to condone the murder of the unborn! Just ask folks like Christie Todd Whitman, Tom Ridge, Laura Bush, Barbara Bush, Anne Stone, etc....Anne's group fought like hell to get it removed.

YOU: "So what's your excuse for Keyes not coming out for Bush until the end of October NOW?"...NO EXCUSE IS NECESSARY!!! Besides, see my comments to PKM regarding this....

[Howlin]

See #399.

[Miss Marple]

Nope. I don't bring it up as often as I used to, because Kristol has been MIA for a while. My theory is backed up by published material, and I have as much right to it as you do your opinion.

Plus, it is my duty to pay attention to people who might be undermining the war effort.

Nice try, but I'm not going silent on this issue.

[Torie]

What was Keyes' take on King Lear? I am rather up on that play, because the family read it aloud together Christmas before last. I sucked as King Lear, but whatever.

[carenot]

Do you remember when the moderator asked Keyes who he would choose for VP if he won the nomination? Keyes was saying he would never choose one that was pro-abortion(talking about McCain), bush sort of sideled (Is that a word?)up to Keyes and put his arm on his shoulder.

GW was so cute when he did that.

[Rowdee]

about that knife to a gun fight.....I think you were shooting off caps!!!!

[Old Fud]

The GOP always picks the team player, and Keyes is not.

Yeah, well, Bob Dull was definitely the team player. Odd that he lost to the criminal billhilly.

Dull ain't been offered a job for his stuttering mush. Keyes has because he has a ready made (and soon to be converted) audience.

[Howlin]

Say, Rowdee, what's your snappy response to #398 and #399.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

How would saying an ACTION that somebody did was EVIL not mean the person was EVIL?

(How easy you make it)Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. Both under the Mosaic law, and under the Chrisian ideas this was evil. So Mary Magdalene DID evil. But she was especially favored by Christ, repented for her sins, and was one of the first to see the resurrected Christ. So she DID evil, but she was not evil.

[EternalVigilance]

Thanks for posting that address for Thune!

You are quite welcome maam! It truly is a critical race...I have been preaching the need for a sweep of these pseudo-populists from the upper Midwest...Johnson, Wellstone, Harkin and Carnahan...thereby leaving Daschle naked going into 2004...(sorry for the awful mind picture there...hehehe)

We should all be supporting him and talking about how we can take back the Senate instead of keyes. There is a lot of real work to be done to make sure that daschle will no longer be Majority Leader of the Senate!

Couldn't have said it better myself! :-)

I spent my afternoon on the important topic (joke!) Spurrier is resigning threads keeping everyone updated from OKC Sports Talk Radio. Think I should have stuck with that for today!

LOL...I think you're right once again...

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

I would think you would tire of trotting out the Keyes/Kristol conspiracy theory...there's a war on, we need to save the tinfoil for the scrap drives, ya know?

I said it was just a thought and only brought it up because of a few exchanges about them here. It is odd that Kristol ran Keyes' Senate campaign but I also can't understand how he was Quayle's Chief of Staff.

Don't worry.......I'll conserve tinfoil.....lol

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

how does that give them license to trash the rest of us

Self defense.

[exodus]

To: Miss Marple
Klinton has already been prosecuted
by the House for "high crimes and misdemeanors."
The Senate (judges) threw out the case.
The problem is not Bush, it's the SENATE.
The news media would always come to the defense of the Klintons
so why would anyone fight a loosing battle.
Pick your fights wisely, and be prepared. T
he Keyesters haven't learnt this yet, LOL
# 456 by VRWC For Truth
************************

True, the Keyesters haven't learned
to abandon their principles
because the principles are un-popular.
One of those principles is the "rule of law."

Clinton violated campaign finance laws.
Clinton committed purjury in open court.
Clinton committed purjury in Grand Jury testimony.
Clinton committed purjury in answer to questions from Congress.
Clinton committed obstruction of justice.
Clinton committed witness tampering.
Clinton committed treason.

Even most Democrats will agree with that assessment.

Bush is required by his oath,
and by his responsibilities
as the top law enforcement officer in the land,
to see that those high crimes
are not allowed to pass un-challenged.
