Heres a good race for 2012.........Alan Keyes vs. Ron Paul. I vote both!!!!! Now that would be a REAL presidential race and not some phony establishment rat run that we currently partake in.
Alan keys has some good points, however he is flawed in certain view points such as Imigration and the GOP. If all Libertarian's and Constitutionalists would jus stick to the GOP we would have had a better chance at Ron Paul 08. Now we must look apon other candidates, I will be looking to Chuck Baldwin and Bob Barr who will hopefully see good in the Republican Party.
Alan Keyes has great ideas and he tells the truth! A+++ Right on brother Alan! Alan Keyes is a great role model for young black men! A++++ As a matter of fact, Alan Keys is a great role model for any person of any race period! A++++ We must stop the evil RED muslim obama now! obama is not a role model for any black men young or old! obama is a total fraud period! obama has done nothing with his life! obama hates America, obama hates white people, Mexican people, and Jewish people as well!
A clear voice of serious concern for all of us who are seeing uncertain future for our sons and daughters and grandkids. thanks Alan for all your service and sacrifice.
Ha, Ha. I live about 30 minutes from Hazelton, in eastern PA, in the Poconos! It's not in western PA Alan! I was just beginning to fall in love with this guy and he switched to another party. Bummer.
Yes! he has me in awe and actually is the actual one that inspires HOPE and CHANGE. He makes me realize that real and godly politicians actually still exist. Wow.
i disagree. Alan Keyes is awesome, but I'd argue he lacks political skill. He has all the brains and moral strength in the world, but he lacks that mainstream appeal, mainly because he comes off as arrogant and condescending. He more of a professor type, a behind the scenes idealist than a political frontman.
This is so true also...but its also true that REpublicans have lost their way. Thus why God has allowed the Demoncrats to take control of our country.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I think that Alan Keyes is a poor leader. He's "booksmart" but has no real intelligence in practical matters, and comes across as overly judgmental, and just plain silly at times.
Alan Keyes is what America needed why? we have played this game of non faith leaders for far to long and you see where our economy is now, wait to you see what happen next,god help us. we have picked pretenders of the faith far to long Alan is not perfect but.. he is a man of great faith to have Alan as president would of meant to have god in office who better to rule us then Jesus.you will disagree but that's OK. we all have been given choice. Alan was not afraid to mention Jesus GOD BLESS HIM
Agreed. As Joseph Farah related, "None of the Above." I will be writing in Dr. Keyes myself. Frankly, I was quite disappointed that the CP didn't nominate him. I looked into the record of Rev. Baldwin and although he seems to be a man of character, he doesn't have near the qualifications in my view needed for the presidency (Executive experience, foreign policy experience, military background, etc.). Sounds like Obama's resume, eh? Dr. Keyes is the clear choice for freedom loving Americans!
Obviously you haven't followed Dr. Keyes. He has gone after the Republican Party and all their cronies with a vengeance. He, along with Pat Buchanan, are some of the few paleo-conservatives left. While I don't think Palin was the best choice, I don't think she was a terrible one either. BTW, what's your beef??
I will either write in KEYES, or vote for the constitution party nominee, CHUCK BALDWIN.
A vote for the Globalist Moderate Liberal Mccain is a wasted vote that leads Nowhere, as he is NOT a real true conservative.
The republican Party is a bunch of Gutless intellectual cowards who worship Rush and Hannity, who are not conservs either by the way, they are programmed robots who care more about Party than country
While I respect your right to vote for who you feel best aligns with your ideology, voting for anyone but McCain is voting for Obama.
The election system needs to be reformed in order for people like Dr. Keyes to get in office.
I think we should drop the nomination system and winner takes all executive elections. We should have a panel of candidates throughout the election with the first and second place in voting recieving the President & Vice President appointment respectively.
I have left the Republican Party since there are so few conservatives left in it. I am protesting this fact with my vote on Nov 4 when I pull the lever for Dr. Keyes. This man is a true statesman, scholar, and leader. It saddens me that everyone I talk to, almost without exception, knows little about him. Oh, how I wish that he would have been debating Obama the other evening instead of McCain! He would have exposed Obama's socialism for what it is and articulated true conservatism.
he can get alot of support from evangelicals and catholics. but he can alsoget support from blue collar workers because of his desire to repeal nafta. he can win states like ohio and virginia and michigan and pennsylvania. farmers would like him too. he also has foreign policy experience. he has a message of hope too. many african american christins that are prolife and pro family would relate too and like him. he can win if he tries. maybe in 2012. i am a christian and like him as a candidate.
Get on his website. You can learn there how to help him get on the Ballot in more states, hes currently on the fall ballot in over 20 States as an independent for pres !
He needs our Money, Energy and time to help him in this noble and great effort to offer all americans another choice Based on the Constitution
I voted for the Nominee in 04' and May do so in 08. Its a superior choice to the Dem - Repub Fraud parties. Whatever we do , encourage and enlighten as many people as we can to NOT vote Obama or Mccain as either phony will mean certain death to our Republic. Every Vote we can Steal away from the "machine" that wants to devour us and squash freedom, is a statement to the elites that we are not giving up or going away, lets keep fighting !
DR. KEYES, we are with you sir, Keep fighting and standing up to these Party Elites, there is absolutely NO way i would ever vote for a moderate liberaL fraud in Mccain !
The fact is the Repuke Party is NO longer a Conservative Party, those days are long gone,
I care too much about my self respect and my country to simply get on my knees and accept Mccain.
This is a time we MUST stand on our Conserv values, Principles and Ideas. A vote for Mccain is to reward him in his Moderate Liberalism and his thumbing his nose at us and telling us to go pound sand , when we asked him to Secure our Borders.
If any so called 'conserv' votes for Mccain they are not one, they are in actuality a Gutless intellectual coward ! Be Independent thinking, the Repub Party is now totally Lost its way and is not much different than the Dems
1 Honest Principled vote for AK will do more to move this country in the right direction and back to Sanity and Freedom, than 1,000 for the Liberal Fraud Mccain !
We've got to stop this lesser of 2 evils nonsense, it ends up getting us NOWHERE . If we vote that way over and over, we are nothing but intellectual cowards who have thrown our Principles in the trash
I was there in Person to hear this in Hazleton , PA on 4- 15. It was definitely one of the MOST inspiring, Passionate, thought provoking speeches ive ever heard !!!
Hes got my vote thats 4 sure. If anyone who hears this is also inspired by this Mssg. and this Great Statesman, than go on his website and Help support the effort to get him on the Ballot this fall ! We need to let All Americans know that there is indeed another choice
