Whining is distinctly un-conservative.
Rush Limbaugh is the voice of conservatism. Do you think he will be whining on his show tomorrow morning about how FRed! got short-changed on Fox all night?

Wake up. FRed! shortchanges himself. He had a poor performance, as we all feared he would while he was sitting out the first 6 or 7 debates, and his followers are blaming Fox for his so-so showing. End of story.

It was very clear the questions were proportioned to where the candidates are in the NH polls.

Fox's bias against Fred is an established fact, btw. But its all irrelevant in NH anyway since Fred knew he'd do poorly and basically ignored that state.

You haven't a clue about why Fred was not in the race early. He was drafted, and he had no campaign organization. A national organization does not appear overnight.

Fred's style is his style. It is not flashy and glib. It is also the style of someone who is rock solid on issues. Rather than voting on personality or looks like the chattering classes, perhaps actual conservatives show the intelligence to vote on issues.

Sorry, I don’t agree with your characterization.

Rush Limbaugh does not *allow* himself to choose sides in these things, publically anyway. That renders you citing it as a strawman. 0-2

The only way you could claim Fred had a “poor” performance is if YOU WERE NOT LISTENING.

Hell, basically Fred is McCain Lite! But he’s still the most conservative guy in the field...

I WILL NOT SETTLE FOR AN IBM LIBERAL UNLESS FORCED!!!!

AND IF I HAVE TO, I’M NOW LEANING TOWARD RUDY BECAUSE AT LEAST HE’S UP FRONT ABOUT WHAT HE IS.

“When we stray, we pay.” - Fred Thompson

(At least he’s what we used to call moderate which is better than you can say about any of these others in this pathetic field the GOP has given us)
