Nice try. The others answered the question regarding the Reagan coalition. Fred asked to answer it, and didn't, choosing instead to launch off on Huck.
It was deliberate. He planned to launch on Huck, and wanted to launch on Huck, and took this opportunity so he didn't have to do it when asked a direct question by the moderator.
Brit just hosed RUPAUL!
You are correct, but Thompson KNOWS he has to attack somebody or be left for dead...
L.Ron Paul (to Willard): “Make fun, buddy.”
He’s f’n unbalanced.
Huckabee was asked about the Reagan coalition, in response to his campaign manager’s comments about it. Fred jumped in to point out that Huck’s record is not conservative despite Huckabee’s campaign rhetoric.
Hmmm below is what Fred Thompson said. Regarding the Reagan Coalition, he stated what it stood for, and then let the people know what Huckabee's positions have been.
"This is a battle over the heart and soul of the Republican party, and its future. One one hand, you have the Reagan Revolution and Coalition of limited government and strong national security. On the other hand, you have the direction that Governor Huckabee would take us in. He would be a Christian leader, but would also bring about liberal economic policies; liberal foreign policies. He believes we have an arrogant foreign policing, in the tradition of "blame America first". He believes Guantanamo should be closed down, and those enemy combatants brought here to the United States, to find their way into the court system, eventually. He believes in tax-payer funded programs for illegals, as he did in Arkansas. He has the endorsement of the National Education Association, and the NEA said it was because of his opposition to vouchers. He said he would sign a bill to ban smoking nationwide. So much for Federalism. So much for states rights. That's not a model of the Reagan Coalition. That's a model of the democratic party."
