I love Keyes as a speaker, and he’s awesome as a debater. But lately, in some ways he’s too intense,he’s got that missionary fevah that just can’t work in politics. The sad thing is he’s such a great speaker, you want to put that talent to work for you.

He should replace Tony Snow as press secretary!

Keyes may have the right idea on some Christian topics, but for the most part he is an embarrassment. Nice guy maybe, but no serious politician.

I find myself agreeing with you in an odd sort of way. If theres something I hate more than liberalism, it’s inconsistency. While a complete moron, at least Kucinich is consistent. All the other Dem frontrunners are inconsistent “progressives” who hide what they truly think.

Lorien – “but not this time around.”

Exactly right. I voted for him in ‘92 AND ‘96 but after that whole carpetbagging incident, forget it.

I like Alan Keyes. More power to him. If he can shake things up – then go for it. I hate a scripted election.

Maxx,

He is not the most articulate man on he planet — I believe Newt has that honor – Keyes comes in second place.

Alan Keyes is a great guy and probably one of the most articulate men on the planet. I’m glad to see him enter the debate.

His time for the being in the spotlight has passed. I liked and supported him some years ago but his mistreatment at the hands of the GOP establishment has driven him slightly over the edge. His fantastic speaking ability and desire to keep all our founding principles intact, including those in the Declaration of Independence, continue to make me sympathetic to him.

You guys did see that Fred, Rudy, Romney and McCain aren’t participating in this debate, right?

And John Cox? I had to Google him to see who he was.

Simple euclidean triangulation shows why this is good. Alan Keyes makes Newt more palatable and will give conservatives a much needed boost of confidence.

Support Alan Keyes, vote for Gingrich.

I like Keyes, but I really think he should just stay out of it this time. I doubt he’ll do very well anyway.

[...] AllahPundit: Good news for Rudy? Keyes is only going to nibble at the most marginal margins in terms of popular support but he’s a good debater whose “values” cred is stronger than Fred’s and Mitt’s. Can he play Nader to their Gore in tight primaries in the south? [...]

Here in Illinois — “Land of the Death of Lincoln’s GOP” — we view Keyes as “the reason everyone has to listen to a dipshit like Obama”.

I agree. Keyes is a dynamic speaker and is able to pull the attention of a crowd. I’ve only heard him speak in person once, but he was good.

I was wrong:

I don’t get understand why Keyes doesn’t view Brownback as insane enough for him. It must be one of those faith-based things I don’t get as an atheist.

thuja on September 15, 2007 at 3:22 PM

After he lost the election, Keyes refused to congratulate Barack Obama on his Senate victory. On the other hand, Brownback has had some nice words for Hilary.

Slight change of topic: While I think Brownback is right here in terms of our internal politics to be nice to Hilary, I fear Brownback would pull another Bush and be too nice towards our enemies. Even mean ol’ Hilary would be preferable in confronting the muslims than Bush or Brownback (or Obama or Edwards) and their foolish niceness.

I don’t get understand why Keyes doesn’t view Brownback as insane enough for him.

I guess in order to get the Keyes stamp of approval, you need to be willing to respond to a debate question by attempting to lead everyone in a prayer.

I always like to hear about that foundation stone of our nations’s life stuff. It’s so much more interesting than socialized medicine.
Besides, after the current MoveOn ruckus dies down, maybe some racist liberal group will throw oreos or print a caricature of Keyes. Then we can ask the Dems who’s on board with that.
