No, that NOT a fact, and you should be ashamed of yourself for presenting it as such.

The actual FACT is that Fred has been raising awareness of things that the other candidates have talked very little about.

Thompson has been the only one to make entitlement reform a KEY issue of his campaign. The other candidates don't have the stones to do this.

FDT is the only leading candidate to present a detailed immigration plan which takes federal funds away from sanctuary cities.

Fred's tax plan would open the door to the flat tax, which is doable, unlike the so-called "fair" tax, which will not get through even a Republican Congress, much less the Democrat-controlled houses that are ruled by Pelosi and Reid.

Thompson wants a million-man military to face the growing threats from the Islamofacists and the Chinese communists. He's the only top-tier candidate to present such a plan.

Look, if you have issues that you honestly disagree with FDT on, just present them. Don't lie through your teeth with vague, baseless accusations.

You must have watched a different debate than I did. Because when he followed another candidate, he parroted exactly what he said. I was reminded of The Office and 'That's what she said'.

And I remember so well Fred's none answer about what departments he would cut. A very specific question. He bleated on about saving Social Security, blah blah entitlements, but he never answered which three departments he would cut. I will be more than happy to provide the transcript.

Don’t get too worked up Josh. Bill’s a Paul supporter, so go from there...

Hey Bill, guess thing are getting a bit depressing in the Paul/Kucinich 2008 camp, what with Osama giving up on Iraq and such.

Hell even Mutrha has loosened up...
