Alan Keyes has been and is the most consistent conservative in the Republican party. His positions haven't changed in at least the last 11 years. Personally I can't stand him and when he left Maryland to get crushed by Obama for Senate I was happy to see him go. That being said Keyes is the only TRUE Republian/Con running. Unlike Bush, Cheney, Huckabee, Romney, and Rudy...Keyes is no hypocrite. He is a true believer. Main Example: Dick Cheney's daughter is gay...has a wife/partner/whatever and they just had a son together. That alone would normally get your con card yanked. Since its Cheney there are rules and beliefs for the Cheneys and then there are rules for everyone else. Alan Keyes had a daughter that came out of the closet...Keyes fired her from his foundation, cut her off financially and kicked her out of the house. To me that sums up why he is a hard core conservative. That is also why there are no Negrocons rushing to support him. To many of them have that Reagan fantasy in their heads...need to wake up and face that Keyes reality
