If even David Yepsen sees it, Fred must've won! But where is Fred fourth or fifth in the polls? Maybe in New Hampshire, where voters require one to personally answer their questions and come over and watch the kids...

Ever notice how the left-wing press wants Huckabee to win the nomination? Think about that. Do you suppose it's because they have the best interests of the Republican party and conservatism at heart?

When I was listening to talk radio after work today, there was an ABC News report that came on. They gave huge props to Huckabee, and also mentioned Romney and Rudy. They then said something like, “Other than that, there were very few “fireworks” at this debate, as the Republican candidates head toward Iowa”

NO MENTION OF THOMPSON AT ALL!

“NO MENTION OF THOMPSON AT ALL!”

The folks on ABC are liars. Also very pro-Huckabee, apparently.

Did Yepsen get the e-mail telling him to clean out his desk?

They will support whoever they think is most likely to lose, and never mention whoever they think is most likely to win.

They showed the Newsweek cover and its Huckabee almost being portrayed as the Pope. It says HOLY in huge letters and has him posed with hands clasped near his face. It’s clear who Newsweak wants.

Wisconsin is a Fred kind of state.

Let's face it, today the Fred campaign came back to life.

The MSM are doing their best to squelch it.

Huckabee has and will continue to be the ‘inside’ man the Clintons have to keep their behinds out of jail.

The Dixie Mafia didn’t just disappear.

Neither did the ADFA.

Neither did Tyson Foods.

The Clintons have their power rooted in Arkansas.

It’s blatantly obvious. I expect to see Huck on the cover of Vanity Fair.

If the ignore Fred, they hurt him.

If they attack Fred, they help him.

If need be, he must attack them first.

I’m hoping his campaign staff has read Sun Tszu (?sp)....

Fred did great in his shut down of the liberal climate/global warming question! Too bad he wasn’t allowed a minute to give an answer! The following is what Fred said on this subject back when he was sitting in for Paul Harvey. It would have been a GREAT one minute answer! :)

"The folks on ABC are liars. Also very pro-Huckabee, apparently."

And no mention that Drudge yesterday posted that Dems are holding all their fire on Huckabee until he wins. OR that Rush asked the question 3 weeks ago: "What if Huckabee wins?". Rush knew something at that time, before Huckabee's "surge".

Just one more reason to never listen to the MSM.

FRED THOMPSON (true consistent Conservative Federalist) - NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERT (I’ll do whatever it takes to stop the bastards, include water-boarding) - 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATE (arm all legal citizens and criminals will become more hesitant) - SECURE AND SEAL THE BORDERS (don’t give them sanctuary anywhere, don’t hire them, don’t rent to them, don’t give them credit, don’t give them rights they don’t deserve, report all crimes committed by them, they will go home or we will deport them) - LAW AND ORDER (enforcement first and foremost with the laws currently on the books) - SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM (reform a program that can’t sustain itself and will bankrupt this nation) - DEFEAT THE DEMOCRAT (any fool they put up) – TAX SIMPLIFICATION (choice for the tax payer) - WON’T PUT UP WITH CRAP FROM THE MSM (including stupid questions by moderators) - PING!

You wouldn’t know from Yepsen that Duncan Hunter or Tom Tancredo were even there.
