After 20 or so years of working within the GOP to try and reform it into a more Christian/conservative Party, Dr. Alan Keyes is leaving the Republican Party. He will soon make this announcement and explain why he can no longer, in good conscience, remain a Republican.

Please pardon the freepy sources.

1. The world waits for his announcement...barely breathing...

2. A conscientious Christian abandoning the Repuke?

This looks like integrity and I therefore doubt your freepish sources.

11. To the "Me and JC" party--as in JC Watts? Whose father said it best?

A refresher: http://archives.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/07/02/cf.crossfire/index.html

CNN) -- U.S. Rep. J.C. Watts of Oklahoma, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House and only black GOP member, has said he will not seek re-election to a fifth term.

Watts cited family concerns as the reason for vacating his congressional seat. His departure will be a setback to GOP efforts to broaden the party's appeal among African-Americans.

"Crossfire" guests Donna Brazile, former manager of Al Gore's 2000 presidential campaign, and Republican consultant Charles Black discuss the reasons behind Watts' decision to step down with hosts James Carville and Robert Novak.

CARVILLE: J.C. Watts is obviously a well-reared young man, has some fine parents.

And let's see what J.C. Watts' father had to say about Republicans and the Republican Party please. ...

"A black man voting for the Republicans makes about as much sense as a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders."

Well, hopefully he'll take a few of the seriously sick minds with him. Good riddance.

Renamed as the Constitution Howard Phillips (USTP) 1992Party in 1999, the party is strongly
pro-life, anti-gun control, anti-tax, anti-immigration, protectionist, "anti-New World Order,"
anti-United Nations, anti-gay rights, anti-welfare, pro-school prayer... basically a hardcore
Religious Right platform.

[LeftishBrit]

22. You know someone is a serious nutcase...

when the Republicans aren't RW enough for him.

Any chance of his 'doing a Nader' on the Republicans?

[LTR]

24. So who's going to be the designated black guy speaking at the GOP convention?

You know that's exactly what they're thinking about, if Obama gets the nomination.

Not being racist here, just real.
