Why did Alan Keyes get so many primary votes (including mine, twice)?


You too?

Me too.
I heard him give a speech in ND, and walked up and thanked him. Yes, he got my primary vote that year.

Keyes may well be the most profound orator I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. It is SUCH a shame he got taken out for carpetbagging Illinois. No one has taken him seriously since. And I DO mean a cryin shame.

@roamer_1

Alan Keyes was maybe the biggest danger the left has faced in my lifetime. I have no doubt the leftist leadership celebrate the day they found something on him as a annual holiday to be celebrated.

Crying damn shame,and NOT just because he is black. Being black was just a bonus we could shove into the faces of the left and grind around a little.

Yep. He was indeed a pleasure to listen to, not just for his delivery, but for the content.

He was only taken out over Illinois because he was a threat to Obama. Think about it.
The media trashed him, and then the GOP ran away because they were sliding left courting "moderates" and thought him too conservative.

Alan Keyes can't get elected dog-catcher in leftist Maryland. :shrug:

That's pretty right. He is most certainly a Conservative stalwart.

But yeah - He should have moved long ago to a conservative state and worked on getting his chops as a governor.

Here in Atlanta, WSB had him arrested back in 1996 because he dared show his face at a GOP Presidential debate.

RWB - Republican While Black.  Police handcuffed Keyes, put him in a patrol car, drove him to the corner of North Ave and Boulevard, kicked him out of the car, removed the cuffs, and drove off.  Keys walked to a pay phone and called someone to come get him.

Just a thought. I don't have many of 'em, probably doesn't mean nuthin', but...
When the whites of the world acted as if they were "racist", Western Civilization was ascendant.
Now, today, The West is in decline, rapidly.
What has changed?

Too Stupid for Words: NBC News Op-ed Claims Voting for Trump Not Only Racist But Unconstitutional

Too Stupid for Words: NBC News Op-ed Claims Voting for Trump Not Only Racist But Unconstitutional
 
Posted by Mike LaChance      Sunday, January 19, 2020 at 10:00am

Has the dumbest article of 2020 already been written?
http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2017/01/politics/trump-inauguration-gigapixel/   

It’s still very early in 2020, but when it comes to stupid political columns, we may already have a winner. A recent op-ed published by NBC News suggests that voting for Trump is not only racist and unethical, it violates the Constitution.

The author, Noah Berlatsky, seems to be serious about this if you can believe it:

    Trump voters motivated by racism may be violating the Constitution. Can they be stopped?

    If the Trump era has taught us anything, it’s that large numbers of white people in the United States are motivated at least in part by racism in the voting booth. Donald Trump ran an openly racist campaign for president, calling Mexicans rapists and criminals, regularly retweeting white supremacists and at least initially balking at repudiating former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. Trump made it clear in his campaign that “Make America Great Again” meant that America was greater when white people’s power was more sweeping and more secure. White voters approved of that message by a whopping 58 percent to 37 percent.

@Cyber Liberty

Sadly,I think this historical truth will be proven once again in the next decade unless drastic political  POV changes are made.

AND.....,as usual,it will be the innocent doing most of the dying,while the bankers that created the situation hide behind their bodyguards on their private islands.

Not to worry,though. Once all the fires have been put out and the dust has settled,they will pop forward once again to lend nations the money they need to restore what passes for civilization. Providing of course the nations are willing and able to tax their citizens to pay for the loans and the interest rate.
