Alan Keyes will Campaign for U.S. Senate candidate Johnson in KY

I was afraid he'd try to associate himself with Rand Paul.

Things look like they're coming together in Kentucky. I think it's looking more and more like Rand will be the next Senator.

I thought Keyes was coming around after the GOP threw him under the bus.

will not harm Rand Paul one bit. They are worlds apart now.

In the debates in which he was allowed to participate, he sounded like a nut. I have a pretty open mind, but most people would write him off as a "case."

so would be Alan Keyes another famous hypocrite.

" I will take REAL money and YOU
can have the change "

alan keyes is a big talking neo con. so, he's been on the alex jones show a few times, and opposes abortion. he is also completely pro war and all about the death penalty.

just to say things about Rand that Grayson can't get away with? It's probably just more of that.

The pro-war neocon Alan Keyes almost took over the Constitution Party in 2008. But Howard Phillips, the founder of the Constitution Party, bravely advocated Chuck Baldwin over Alan Keyes, at the contentious 2008 Constitution Party national convention where the Constitution Party chariman, James N. Clymer, advocated for Alan Keyes and admonished Howard Phillips for his speech.

I voted for Keyes in the 2000 Republican primary, but sometime after that he got in bed with pro-war Zionists.

The audio of Howard Phillips is available at

I transcribed the most important portions below.

(applause)

The neocons favor a continued presence in Iraq, and indeed the gentleman to whom I refer favors an ongoing U.S. presence in the Middle East. The neocons favor continued U.S. membership in the UN. Our party is on record against it. But this gentleman is for it. Our party is against foreign aid; it's in the platform, but this gentleman continues favoring and indeed expanding foreign aid. Our party has passed resolutions and its platform says we should get out of NATO, our membership in which requires us, if we honor that treaty, to go to war whenever one of the member nations of NATO comes under attack. Pat Buchanan wrote a great poem the other day, 'Should America go to war for South Esisha (sp?)

People have joined us, and they joined Ron Paul -- and the candidate I favor by the way was a very close supporter of Ron Paul. The neocon candidate who challenges Chuck Baldwin regularly denounced Ron Paul and the policies which he advocated. He often sounded like Rudy Giuliani in his denunciation of Ron Paul's position whether we should get of Iraq.And of course Ron Paul was with the principles of this platform and this party and let me say Ron is someone with whom I've worked since he first came to Congress. I've worked closely with his Congressional staff, with his campaign staff, and let me tell you that Chuck Baldwin is a hero to those folks because Chuck Baldwin was there on the front lines for Ron Paul.

(applause)

Bob Barr is a friend of mine as Alan Keyes has been in years gone by. And Bob Barr spoke with Ron Paul on three occasions begging him for his support as he seeks the Libertarian Party nomination, but Ron Paul will not do that because in his heart, Ron Paul knows that Chuck Baldwin is right, and if the Paul people were to support anyone it's Chuck Baldwin they should be supporting. And this is something we can look to.

Ron Paul has attracted scores of thousands of supporters. He's got an estimated 35 million dollars in the bank. And those supporters and those resources can become an asset to this party if we nominate a candidate who has been a friend of Ron Paul, not an enemy of Ron Paul.

(applause)

If our principles are excluded from the 2008 campaign, they could be lost to history. Ideas which are not advocated in a political context are lost to history. I urge you my dear friends to choose the nominee who is duty-driven, not ego-driven -- -- a man who joned our party more than five years ago, not less than one week ago; a man who is not a perpetual office-seeker moving from state to state, but a man who is a persistent opponent of the principles of which this party was founded and whose candidacy will not shower ridicule on our party for having favored reparations and jumped into mosh pits and so forth.

Our candidate, if he's Chuck Baldwin, whose disgust with the policies of George Bush led him to leave the Republican Party early in the Bush administration, not to linger until a week ago.

(applause)

With Chuck Baldwin it's not personal ambition, it's servant leadership. (applause) My friends, in some respects, Dr. Baldwin's opponent, a man who I do respect and I'd admire and I've loved as a friend, is in fact worse than the GOP on some issues. Well, the GOP says it's a tax-cutting policy, Alan Keyes says he favors compulsory national -- he favors a national sales tax, which according to the advocates of the so-called Fair Tax, which was Huckabee's, would impose a 30% tax on many sales. That would kill the automobile industry. It would further kill the real estate industry. It would further destroy our economy. Chuck Baldwin's principle opponent favors compulsory national service -- he favors a return to the military draft. That is a horrendous thing. And I'm not making this up; this is what he told me from his mouth to my ear. Others have been present with him when those positions were advocated.

he will only take away votes for Grayson. Keyes, you're scum.

I wish him all the success he had in the presidential races.

and while he may be an intelligent person, he must feel he is in competition with Ron Paul as he has dissed Ron more than once. Alan is a warmonger and will not allow himself to be wrong--therefore he will not learn.
