Yeah .. .nothing gets the press on your side like reminding them that they are the actual problem and not you. A substantial portion of the problem with Fred was that the media just wouldn't take him seriously. I'm not sure why that was exactly when it seemed to me that he was the only guy out there with serious things to say.

It's a nice comment, but it won't help. (And that's coming from a Fred supporter)

I'm not sure why that was exactly when it seemed to me that he was the only guy out there with serious things to say.

Most of the media is liberal, and they know that the Democrats don't mean what they say. They say what they need to say in order to get elected. Liberals don't expect the people they support to tell them the truth, because they generally think that most of the country is too stupid to know what is good for them anyway. Unfortunately, that reasoning is awfully hard to disagree with a lot of the time.

They aren't voting for a candidate based on details of plans they present. They vote for them based on how they feel about them, and if they seem to support the liberal principles they support. Detailed plans aren't something most liberals place much value upon.
