Alan Keyes: GOP Is 'Fraudulent,' Disconnected From Grassroots

Wow! Genius! Was your first clue the fact that the RNC declared war on their own candidate, or was it the collaboration between the two losers who can't win on their own merits teaming up to try to make the winning people's choice lose??????

I never made the connection, Mr. Obvious!
