Far Right Alan Keyes To Join GOP '08 Race

First Posted: 03/28/08 03:45 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 01:15 PM ET

WorldNetDaily:

After two previous runs for U.S. president, former Reagan diplomat Alan Keyes has announced he's again seeking the White House in the 2008 election, and he'll take part in Monday night's Republican presidential debate here.

Keyes told syndicated radio host Janet Parshall he's "unmoved" by the lack of moral courage shown by the other candidates, among whom he sees no standout who articulates the "key kernel of truth that must, with courage, be presented to our people."

He added, "The one thing I've always been called to do is to raise the standard ... of our allegiance to God and His authority that has been the foundation stone of our nation's life" - and he decried the lack of "forthright, clear, and clarion declaration" from the current crop of presidential contenders.

God help us...Alan Keyes...religious whacko extraordinaire. As if the GOP...(Group Of Perverts)...needed still one more nut in the mix. Mr. Keyes...please...stay home and spare us the sanctimony. We've already had more than our share from your Republican Wing-Nut friends. And we certainly have enough bigots already in our political scene.
Tell us,are you still ignoring your daughter because she's gay? We've seen enough of those types. Screw yourself!

Does Experience Matter? (Clinton and JFK didn't think so)

This Video Is Showing That Obama can be president because two fmr presidents were
where he is right now, history proves experience makes an either worse president( nixon, bush, vp dick cheney, defense sec.rumsfeld)

Well, Keyes has more substance than Thompson. But that's not saying much. I venture to say that Jessica Simpson does, too.

By all means, let's run another Libertarian Loon! Oops! I forget he was a Reagan chosen-one! That makes it even better!

Al Keyes, President; Pee Wee Herman, Vice-President; Moms Mabley, Secretary of State; Paris Hilton, Secretary of Defense! That's a ticket I could really get behind! Especially if I was a Republican!

A Black Conservative? How dare he? Doesn't he know all black people have to think alike or they're not really black?
Oh well, it doesn't matter. When Jesse ran the media remained in permanent pucker mode for weeks in case his ass presented himself. When Keyes last ran he got more air time at the Republican Primary Debate then he did with all his other press time combined.

It stands to reason that Christ wouldn't vote for Obama. Jesus was a Jew and the Jews had essentially no rights under the Roman government. Kind of like what Bush is trying to do to any group he considers among "those other people".

Jim Bakker, Jim Swaggart, Ted Haggard, Larry Craig, Ted Stevens, Mark Foley, Patrick McHenry, Bob Allen and now Alan Keyes. What a bunch of hypocrites!
" He said unto them: Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me." Mark 7:6
"For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery." Job 15:34
These gentlemen would do well to heed the lessons learned from the Bible...most of all the Publican and Pharisee. Before faulting others and proclaiming their own righteousness they should first look into themselves and be more like the Publican (humble, remorseful and seeking mercy).

When Obama BEAT Keyes to a puddle of SLIME, Yeah Alan, when an opponent has HIGHER than DOUBLE your vote total that's beaten to a pool of slime...so just ooze somewhere another person gives a sh*t what you think. I've heard Jena, Louisiana is nice this time of year.

Hey Al: Ya sure didn't learn anything last time 'round, did ya?

If you claim that Jesus wouldn't vote for Barack, but Barack was elected over your pitiful, carpet-bagging self, then we can deduce 2 things: you are a loser compared to him and you think voters are immoral.

You do realize, don't you, that you've NEVER won an election? It seems you've learned nothing from ANY of your failed campaigns.

What you are doing now is just political masturbation.

When I saw him on TV, sweating profusely, I wondered what drugs he was on. Meth addicts are supposedly heavy perspirers. One of the Illinois senators invited him to the state, and was criticised for that, rightfully so. This man is NUTS. We have a moron in office now, we do not need Keyes in there next.

HOW EMBARRASSING

To form a group which is "Asking Alan Keyes to Run", and turns out it's Alan Keyes "asking" Alan Keyes to run....TRUELY embarrassing!
