That is factually incorrect.

When was Fred in fourth?

You can throw some dirt on Mitt also after the 8th.

No way is he dead. However, McCain/Huckabee are drawing votes from him.

Everyone thinks he is a Dick Morris.

If this were true, then all the other candidates would be behind Fred, after all when did Mitt, Rudy, McCain or Huckabee ever demonstrate a “willingness to fight for conservative causes.”

Are we to believe that in the absence of someone who comes across as a “fighter for conservative causes” or back up plan is to chose someone who has been a “fighter for liberal causes”

The truth of the matter, is that media shapes initial expectations, and they build up candidates that for one reason or the other they find desirable. How else to you explain an ultra lib like “Rudy” or “Romney” leading a field that has candidates like Thompson and Hunter.

but Fred was never in fourth place. Fred was always #3 That is factually incorrect.

And irrelevant. The biggest winner in Iowa was, of course, Huckabee but McCain's surprisingly good finish was good news for him. Fred did well enough to continue on but I'm sure that he is disappointed. Romney was the big loser on the Republican side. His huge investments of time, money, and staff got few results.

Hopefully Romney and the Huckster will destroy each other, and once they get their liberal rear-ends out of the way Republicans can get serious.

The man said he didn't want the job so why should I vote for him?

Liar.

But he needs to get out and endorse Hunter.

Ok, WHY?

Why does Fred, who is in the top three, need to "endorse Hunter" who finished, what, 6th, 7th? Other than pipe dreams and delusion, just what is Duncan going to win? Even in WYOMING Fred is predicted ahead of Duncan.

So again, WHY? I want to hear this one.

I don’t believe it’s insane, but it is purposefully destructive. Many of the leading Republican media are not Conservative. In truth, they have never been Conservatives.
They are Moderates, who have promoted past moderate Republicans as Bob Dole, Bush 41 and Gerald Ford.

Larry Sabato, quoted in this hit piece, is certainly one of these, who recently was one of the saboteurs of George Allen, a now Thompson supporter.

It’s possible that Conservatives may now be a minority in the Republican party...I hope not.

ANd you need to do some serious READING. That quote was taken entirely out of context. Try reading Fred’s words before believing what that MSM is telling you.

Well, nothing would surprise me at this point. I mean, Tancredo endorsed Mitt.

While Fred does need money, he is not broke. There is a lot of old line support for him especially among the southern factions of the Party. The Manning donations where not some whim.

Southern Money men like Fred...

Liar.

Dude! Don't get mad at me! The man actually said "I'm not particularly interested in running for president.

The question is: are you in denial or trying to rewrite history?

Your quote does not match your original claim. You are the one lying about history.
