Sure, I have no political experience and I wouldn't know how to run a state if you handed it to me with an instruction manual and a copy of *Governance for Dummies*...but I've never been unfaithful! And isn't that what really matters?

Sigh,

The Plaid Adder

2. Yes, I was talking about New Jersey
I'm not really running. I just think at some point we've got to stop making or breaking politicians on whether they have affairs or not.

Ah well,

10. All Keyes is proving is that he'll take a punch
for his party when he's told to. He knows he won't win, but "Hey! Lookie here! Remember me? I'm Alan Keyes! You haven't seen me for a while!"

12. He's also proving that everyone has their price
His appears to be the miraculous discharge of his past campaign debts that will be sure to happen, courtesy of the Illinois GOP, to the tune of approximately half a million dollars. Not bad for a few months work.

3. Unfaithful in what sense...
If you mean in terms of sex, I choose not to judge others. I am even willing to over look experimentation with drugs just don't be a hypocrite.

I have no problems with Shrub and his alocoholism or cocaine experimentation. But I do feel that his alcoholism has affected his judgement, and dislike his policies......

5. I think you overestimate how difficult it is.
Its hard to govern well, but its not hard to govern. Just ask the republican party.

9. I'd vote for ya
but he didn't resign for an extramarital affair. He resigned because he's about to be sued for sexual harassment by a man whom he hired for a top-level job for which he was entirely unqualified, both technically and legally.

11. Plaid, go for it! You've always been honest about who you are unlike the
lying, cheating, crooked, pedofiles, sex offenders of the heterosexual kind and now our own Democrat who can't even admit who he is after three marriages and two children. If he didn't know who he was he shouldn't have penalized those who voted for him and his party by living a lie at his age. It's not like he's old enough to have felt he needed to hide this, fgs!

Go for it Plaid...You would do better than most of the politico's we have out there today of both parties. You can think...and reflect. It seems to be a dying art...if one can call it an art.
