Luis, you are one of the great thinkers here on FR. If others can't debate with you intelligently, well... ;)

You confuse ego with intelligence. Yes Keyes is a smart guy but nothing out of the ordinary. Yes he takes “principled” non-yielding positions because he knows he will never be tested. Yes many people like his “principles” but never realize he uses them for personal gain. Keyes is never going to rise beyond where he is at because he is very comfortably compensated for being the maverick and does not want his proclamations put to a test he knows he cannot pass.

When I hear the word Ego the smirk of GW Bush comes to mind. Keyes ran because he was asked to by those who knew him. He had a sucessfull radio and TV show Before running for POTUS the last time. It was televised on a Network called National Empowerment Television operated mostly by The Free Congress Foundation. Who are the ones I listened too? Paul Weyrich, Armstrong Williams , Janet Parshall, Bill Lind a very brilliant man, John Lofton the man who left James Carville speachless, Tom Finton, Howard Phillips, and many other Conservatives who graced N.E.T.'s studios.

Unfortunately it likely became to big a threat I'm guess as corruption and sellouts within the GOP was being mentioned and was taken over by a moderate version called America's Voice. It was a joke. With a couple of months Armstrong Williams had to have Ellen Ratner as co-host, Larry Flynnt became a regular, Bob Beckell another one. But this was after Weyrich was removed from any say in programning. It is as well now off the air.

I learned a lot in that time though. Weyrich was reporting on Lott's doings long before many in here had a clue. I heard good shows with Bob Barr, Chris Cox, Larry Klayman and others involved very early on trying to bring down Slick Willy. Then came along Georgie come lately. Clueless George the answer to all that was wrong or so we were told. I respect true Conservatives ones who have done the hard work and stuck their necks out in the name of justice. I can't respect those whose wish to ignore the wrongs commited against this nation and just say "Let's move on".

When somebody posts something on these threads, we all expect them to be able to BACK IT UP.

Oh ... like when you say you believe Ron Brown wasn't murdered? Well by all means, tell us why.

I made this point on another thread...

If the grassroots conservative movement is as large as some say, and they do not vote for GWB in 2004, then the Republican party is effectively split.

And we'll all be freeping President Hilllary Clinton from 2004-2012.

When you present some but then damn, that takes all the fun out of conspiracies now doesn't it?

So, are you CLAIMING that the pathologists and photographer in the Brown case did not say that Brown may have been shot and needed an autopsy?

Are you claiming that EXPERTS don't say the photos and x-rays support that conclusion?

Let's just START with those two FACTS.

I don't think even Keyes would advocate that it is wrong for a candidate to speak to voters that speak Spanish in Spanish, if he or she can. The idea that Hispanics are not learning English over time is ludicrous. Having said that, I would never vote for a candidate who supported bilinqual education in secondary schools. The primary reason for that, is that it denies the pupils some chances for upward mobility. And any politician that does that is dead meat as far as I am concerned. Ditto for those that deny pupils an exit strategy from failing inner city schools. On that issue, I will brook no compromise.

I think your mouth is writing checks your body can't cash but as I said I will be in touch and we can "talk". You have shown your lack of debating skills and I am sure that follows through to everything you attempt.

Nah, looks like trouble already started. I'm just pitching in.

Of course, I'm just a woman. What do I know.

Clinton killed Ron Brown because he knew too much. The other folks on his plane were just collateral damage. Everyone knows that, silly. Except those of us dummies that don't, and aren't paranoid sickos. Thankfully, that is most of us.
