Keyes Becomes Hypocrite

Is Alan Keyes giving in to a desire for power? Has he succombed to the power of the Republican National Committee? One has to wonder after the man who once criticized Hillary Clinton for moving to New York to run for the U.S. Senate will now have to make a similar move to Illinois before Election Day in November in order to challenge Democratic candidate Barack Obama for the Senate seat being vacated by Peter Fitzgerald.

Will the Republicans never cease to amaze us with the audacity of their hypocrisy, the boldness of their lies and the brashness of their self-rightousness? How do you come to a place where accusations are so easily assailed upon others with no consideration for how they will be turned back on one's own head? Is it the cameras in the face and the microphones at the mouth that cause the receiver of such attention to believe that somehow the words from his or her mouth set the standards for morality, philosophy, economy, policy, etc. until said person changes his or her mind?

Keyes had impressed me and many other Libertarians with his talk of small government and individual liberties during his bid to become the Republican candidate for President in 2000. However, Mr. Keyes has slipped far away from those ideas since that campaign. His new friends and contacts have made him part of the "political machine," and he can flip-flop on issues like the best of those in Washington, D.C. He is an attentive student of that "machine." I am certain that he and his teachers are proud of his ability to tow the political line.
