“There are more than 6 months prior to primaries. Deadline are still several months away. There hasn’t been a serious debate yet, just a 10 person circle jerk with everyone trying to get face time. Fred is doing all kinds of TV and radio interviews. Fred is doing podcasts. Fred has a radio show where he does political commentary on a daily basis. Fred is on YouTube putting out responses. When a serious debate comes, Fred will be there.”

gosh, don’t you hear yourself? I don’t understand why Fred’s supporters continue to make up all kinds of excuses for him on this and the reasons absolutely border on ridiculous. No doubt if the tables were turned you’d be blasting any one else doing the same. Yes, Fred is doing all kinds of things, everything BUT debating. Can you not understand why that would be a problem for everyone else who supports those who are participating? I don’t hear those candidates whining about the timing or the seriousness. What concerns me is the rabid Fred support, it’s reminiscent of the rabidly pro-Rudy people...they too spent 24/7 justifying his behavior.

I think the excuses need to come from the RINOs and dwarfs who declared months too early, and are suckers for helping the MSM networks make the GOP look stupid with their silly “debates.”

You don’t need to excuse deferring something until the proper time. Santa Claus doesn’t need to apologize for not coming on Halloween.

Not really. I have little respect for candidates who allow folks like Chrissy Matthews to define them via questions like "what do you hate most about America?"

The MSM is the enemy, and candidates who play by MSM rules are aiding the enemy.

Meanwhile, you spend 24/7 justifiing your support of a guy with about as much chance of winning the primaries and the Presidency as Mickey Mouse.

I find it telling that you keep beating on this issue despite the fact that Fred has now drawn into a tie with Rudy without even officially entering the race. He is showing that it was a strategic mistake by so many in the GOP to enter early.

Why excuse a winning strategy????  Do you hear yourself???

No doubt if the tables were turned you’d be blasting any one else doing the same.

If I was unsecure about my candidate and was watching Fred kick his butt in polls, maybe.  But I am not, so I wouldn't.

Yes, Fred is doing all kinds of things, everything BUT debating.

First off, them ain't debates.  Secondly, Fred is outdebating them in the media and answering all the questions thrown at him.

Can you not understand why that would be a problem for everyone else who supports those who are participating?

Jealously, bitterness, desparation?

I don’t hear those candidates whining about the timing or the seriousness.

Fred is not the one whining, you are.  Fred is quite happy with his timing.

What concerns me is the rabid Fred support, it’s reminiscent of the rabidly pro-Rudy people...they too spent 24/7 justifying his behavior.

Fred needs no justification, results speak for themselves.

To anyone saying Fred isn’t playing fair or isn’t “debating”, please tell me a major issue he hasn’t taken a clear position on.
