Keyes may jump in to to GOP race
:rofl:

'We Need Alan Keyes for President' Website Launched

Aims to inspire grassroots support for moral conservative leader

Contact: Stephen Stone, President, RenewAmerica, 801-373-5788, editor@renewamerica.us

PHILADELPHIA, June 5 /Christian Newswire/ -- An organization calling itself "We Need Alan Keyes for President" has launched a website to press the former Reagan administration diplomat to enter the field of Republican presidential contenders.

According to a statement at the website -- AlanKeyes.com -- the organization's purpose is to "determine and rally support for a presidential candidacy by Dr. Keyes."

The statement adds, "We Need Alan Keyes for President, Inc., is a political action committee . . . not managed by Alan Keyes."

The effort is spearheaded by several individuals at RenewAmerica, a grassroots organization affiliated with Keyes.

(. . .)

In recent years, Stone said, "Keyes has stood fast in support of moral conservatives who were battling to defend traditional marriage in Massachusetts, save Terri Schiavo from judicial murder in Florida, restore protection for the unborn in South Dakota, and stop the abuse of federal judicial power against Chief Justice Roy Moore of Alabama."

"Keyes has also made countless appearances before moral conservative groups, championing the work of crisis pregnancy centers, encouraging the role in politics of Christian believers, and calling for the establishment of secure U.S. borders," added Voigt. "He has ceaselessly advanced the need to give top priority to restoring America's moral principles -- by observing the Constitution's protection for the life of our posterity in the womb, and by restoring respect for the procreational family, based on the union, by marriage, of one man and one woman."

Keyes also writes columns that appear at WorldNetDaily.com and RenewAmerica.us.

2. Oh PLEASE run!
Increasing the number of batshit insane Republicans running for President will only add to the entertainment value.

3. So we could possibly have a rematch of the 2004 IL Senate race? I mean, it was soooo close, right?

15. I don't know how closely some here followed that race, but it has Hi-lariouis
Keyes, at the same time, tried to talk about how he was just like regular white guys and race shouldn't matter, while contending that Obama wasn't "really" black, or at least wasn't as black as Keyes.

At one point, IIRC, he tried to question whether Obama deserved to represent the state, because he wasn't "truly" from IL.

One part that was especially funny was during a debate, when he announced that he would like to do away with direct elections to Senate, in favor of Senators being appointed by the State. All while he was fucking running for direct election to the Senate!

4. Oh, I hope so. The electoral circus could use a real clown.
The ones now running are mildly amusing, at best. Keyes could add some real slapstick to the event.

I want him to run,,, as an independent.the only one better to fracture the GOP more than it already is would be for Dobson to jump in.

consummate bs that expanding an already clouded political pie fight represents, but, in this case, "bring it on!"
There could be little better influence than to encourage elegant fools to further muddy the culture of corruption's punch bowl.

I think this is a terrific idea.

Unfortunately, Maya Marcel-Keyes isn't yet old enough to be President.

27. Maya seems to be a daughter any dad should be proud of.
Hell, I'd be popping buttons if I had a daughter like her. If anything makes me detest Alan Keyes more than I have in the past, it's his treatment of her. She's adorable.

18. Yes! There aren't enough halfwit crooked blowhards in the Republican lineup!
Keyes will almost complete the set! Now if they'll only get Limbaugh and O'Reilly to run, the field will be complete!

These are trying times, and the 2008 election cycle demands a GOP candidate who is TOTALLY FUCKING INSANE.
