Here I thought you were an accidental conservative, reacting to Fred`s success by whining and showing us all how offended you were. LOL Actually, I was responding to this load of trash talk you offered up.

>>>>>Fred says everything and nothing and his supporters pick the position they like and attribute it to Fred. He has to really believe one of his positions, right? You can spin all you want and make whatever assertions about posters you wish; but in the end, you and I both know the truth, don't we?

What a load of hooey!

Fred didn't get in this race for your benefit. Fred entered this race because conservatives were dissatisfied with the available choices of Giuliani, Romney, McCain and a second tier of candidates that couldn't get anyones attention, outside of their own hardcore supporters. Like Ike in 1952, Fred was drafted to run. Fred doesn't go around giving mostly canned speeches as other candidates do all the time. Fred is a straight shooter, but he likes to mix it up rhetorically and even improvise his remarks. So what. At least Fred isn't bulls**ting conservatives like so many candidates have done this primary season. The fact you take exception to Fred`s communication efforts, says more about you, then it does about Fred.

>>>>>Fred isn't kicking anything as I can see ...

Then you're blind as a bat.

"Then you're blind as a bat.

You're technically right, but then very wrong. Bats aren't blind so I suppose it's possible I am blind as a bat. I am not sure why you and others continue to think I am whining or offended.

I just made a simple post stating there seems to be some definite differences in what Fred says from one period to another. I wasn't offended at all, on the contrary, it's funny watching the spinning. If only we could harness all that power.

I would much rather watch liberals or Rudy, spin. Wait, same thing, but you get my meaning. I take no pleasure in pointing these things out to what I can only assume are good conservatives.

What you denoted as trash was all truth and thus far has not been proven to be otherwise. Fred may not have entered the race for my benefit, that goes without saying, my post, however, was for your benefit.

The spinning and statements along the lines of "well some people believe in that stuff, you can't just say GW is BS", "you can't just send 12 million people home at gunpoint" is pure unadulterated nonsense.

If a man doesn't think he can say what he believes and get elected, then why bother? Is this some new form of Republican taquiyah? If he doesn't believe in our conservative principles and ideas enough to express them at every opportunity, then why would anyone? If we don't believe in them, then who will? Thanks for posting the poll that seems to be the answer to a lot of my questions where Fred is concerned.

Although polls are not meritorious in anyway without those who choose to believe in them. I don't, and not one vote has been cast as yet and that is the poll that counts.

Conservatives had better start taking this primary seriously and quit playing popularity and poll games and spinning like a top. We are at war and we better select someone who knows something about a war. Our country has been invaded by illegals and we had better select someone who has done something about illegals.

We have had no shortage of great positions and politicians saying things about securing our borders and winning the WOT and stopping terrorists from acquiring nuclear weapons. These candidates are in great supply but we are short on Duncan Hunter's, who has done and will do, not what is politically expedient, but what is right.
