“. . . is this not a fair question to ask of a man running for the Republican nomination?”
Certainly it is.
If you’ll read the rest of the article at the link:
“After the woman interrupted Thompson by questioning his conservative credentials, the likely candidate said, “Don’t fuss at me. You asked me a question. Let me answer it.” He told the woman, “I try to learn as much as I can from all viewpoints.”
Later, she shouted at Thompson as the news conference ended. Police officers took her outside a fenced area near the hangar, and stood with her until the former Tennessee senator departed.”
Sure, it was a fair question. Nothing wrong with the question, just the woman’s behavior. Fred was polite to her and tried to answer her question, but she continued to act like up and was eventually escorted out.
Ok, but what the hell does that mean? The man never addressed the question. Don't get me wrong I'm not anti-Fred, but honestly it's getting real hard to get behind this guy. Even Rudy takes a position on issues. I don't agree with him but at least I can have a score card. This guy won't commit to anything. His indecisiveness will kill him. We don't need a guy who is still learning who he is and what he stands for at 60 plus years. I need a guy who knows who he is, puts it on the table and let's the voters decide. The whole "fear me because I was on a TV series and I might run gimmick" is getting old.
