1. ha!

even the GOP doesn't want him and thinks he's a fringe loon.

my ex-bf is a member of the party he wants to go to... sigh, God help him...

7. You Really Have To Be Out There...

When the Republican party isn't far enough to the right for you. I expect Keyes to one day become the first African American member of the KKK. Enough said. You see it was his racist anti-immigrant views that drove him from the GOP. What a joke!

2. oh god--fuck alan keyes. what an asshole.

anyone heard how his daughter is doing? i remember she was in the news when he was trying to run against obama in illinois. i forget her name.

3. This will hurt McCain.

Keyes will definitely take some Evangelical fundamentalist votes from him. The only question is how many. The Constitution Party did not get many votes in 2004 (only over 100,000 nationwide).

4. "Machine Gun" Al and "Monument Judge" Roy! That's the ticket!

:evilgrin:

5. Good choice, Keyes! Take as many wingnuts with you as possible!

We need a "Ralph Nader of the right," one that will create electoral splits between moderate conservatives and Fundie fanatics.

The fact that this party is called the Constitution Party is definitely good for a laugh. :rofl: :kick: :silly:

signs for Ron Paul than for McCain.
