Fred’s an adult. Fred can and is telling the American people where he does/will stand on the issues. If the American people can’t understand him - and need these kindergarten formats where the candidates perform like trained seals, in order to decide whether to back a candidate or not - then, to me, they have little ability to make informed, individual decisions in the first place.
Thats just because you don’t care all that much about Fred’s positions on social issues. He matches the views of the Libertarian wing of the Republican Party very well. However, on social issues he does not support the pro-life amendment, he does not support a an amendment banning gay marriage, he refused to take a public position on the Terri Schievo case, and he is unwilling to come to a debate sponsored by Social Conservative leaders. You can spin all day if you want but this does not look good to dedicated social conservatives.
P.S.
You can complain about us voting for hillary by not supporting your candidate. However, remember the libertarian/pro business wing of the Republican party has to be willing to push a candidate which we can also support. True we can’t always get everything we want but the compromises have to go both ways.
What an absurd statement. To compare the Value Voters debate to MSM debates is idiotic, as you well know. It is probably the only debate that will be substantive- and also allow enough time for a candidate to offer an elaborate answer.
Snubbing this particular debate was a drastic error on Fred's part.
