That depends on your politics. Any intelligent individual viewing FreeRepublic, from December 1999 through August 2000, would have received a good education from The Keyesters. The never ending, pro-Keyes rhetoric and anti-Bush attacks, were front and center. Their endless efforts to weaken the Bush campaign and sabotage his chances of securing victory over Algore was obvious, to even the casual political observer. However, their lack of any success, was also obvious.
I need no help from you to tell me what I was posting in 2000. Your remarks are precisely what Ford backers said in 1976, when they attacked Reagan for daring to run against Ford. At least Ford was the incumbent, which Bush was not. How it must grate the politically foolish, that anyone would dare not kneel down and kiss the ring of their annointed candidate. The fact that you make these charges against Keyes, and not against McCain, where they would be far more justified (or do you consider that Mad John McCain's actions in the last two years constitute loyalty), leads to the suspicion that you are motivated by something much darker, and nastier, then your surface protestations of loyalty to the President.
Obviously the Keyes backers, before the convention, were not intested in Bush's chances of securing victory over Gore, they were planning on beating Gore themselves. And what this is called is not weakening and sabotaging the President's nominating campaign, it is called trying to defeat Bush's efforts to be nominated. That is called the democratic election process. Perhaps where you come from people inherit political office, but this does not happen in this country.
