You’re the same guy who came out against Fred Thompson.

Now you show up again with this.

Funny how you always come out against the one true conservative with the best chance of winning the nomination.

I was a very big supporter of Fred's, even after he dropped out.
At some point, I realized that we had wasted a lot of time, energy, and money on a dog that just wouldn't hunt, while McCain snuck up on us. It became apparent that Romney was the only one who could have stopped McCain, and thus he could have stopped 0bama. But that was 2008. We're talking 2012 now, and that's a whole new ballgame.

I am, always have been, and will continue to be concerned with defeating 0bama, above all. If you don't win, then nothing you stand for matters. We need to beat 0bama at the polls, which means running a candidate who is smart enough, and knowledgeable enough to defeat him in the debates. Right now at this point, I think Newt is that person. But we have to pick one of the choices we're presented with. If he doesn't run, then obviously we'll have to choose someone else. Newt would have been my top choice in 2008, too, and I was excited by the prospect of him running. He decided against running when Fred entered the race, because he felt that Fred represented a clear conservative choice. That is when I started supporting Thompson.

I have said plenty of things about many candidates, and potential candidates, both good and bad. Perhaps you have been mislead by a disturbed internet stalker I had here some time back who was posting things I had said out of context all over FR. Unfortunately, there are some sick individuals out there and this is a public forum.

And believe me, if I thought Sarah Palin had "the best chance of winning", or anything better than a snowball's chance in hell of winning, even, I would be all for her. But she doesn't. You have to live in a seriously oxygen deprived bubble to believe she does. She has only a slightly better shot than Dan Quayle.
