Read the link I posted. All of those smears are thoroughly addressed. NumbersUSA is perpetuating a fraud.

No matter what Fred does, the Fred people have a blind spot. Just like the Rudy supporters.

Of course, Rudy is far worse, but I wish posters would not be afraid to learn the differences among the candidates.

This is PRIMARY TIME, after all.

As Laura Ingraham said, this is the time to see what we’re made of.
