Right now, the media is shoving several moderate candidates down our throats, and forcing the actually conservative candidates to the bottom of the race.

And what about the voters in all this - do you not blame them? Are they mindless robots programmed by the MSM in this internet age? I don't think so.

Face it, the public doesn't want the candidates you want. You can't blame the candidates for the public's lack of education or sophistication.

I'm annoyed with the Hunter campaign and have been since they were less organized tahn the Cox campaign at CPAC. That said, the idea that today's poll is inevitable is just wrong. A month ago, Huckabee was a nobody. He turned it around with a few good debate performaces, the purcahse of an email list to single-issue Chirstian voters, and with the aid of the media.

When the media lie about the positions of candidates and introduce others as fringe canddidates, what support are these to get?
When candidates win or do well in debates, but are ignored in debate reviews, what are we to do?

When voters decide not to look at facts for themselves, the Republic is lost.
