Keyes uses rally to revive last campaign push
Alan Keyes — who served as Assistant Secretary of State for under Ronald Reagan and has been hiding out in Texas since February – ended his campaign with an election-eve “Rally for America’s Revival” March 3 at the University of North Texas.
Surely the “complete conservative” wowed the crowd with gems like this speech from his Lincoln-Reagan Dinner:
”If we want to win the victory [as a party], we’ve got to stop pretending to ourselves that we shall win it by scaring people to death with our Hillary masks, our Obama masks, and our bogeyman rhetoric. It has worked once or twice, but I can promise you, it will not work this time — any more than scaring them with Democrat control of Congress secured our victory in 2006. No, if we want their trust back, and their faith back, and their allegiance back, then we must trust the truths upon which this country was built….our allegiance to the authority of our God.”
First, I know I said a “crowd” of supporters would be at Keyes’ gala. But is five people considered a crowd if three of them are family members, one is a janitor and the other is a homeless guy lured in with the promise of whiskey and a half-eaten egg salad sandwich?
At any rate I’m sure it was swell. I hope he wore his “Obama mask” to the rally!
