I find the current power of the media astounding. Fred is the non-candidate. If they can cut him out of a photograph, they do.I had to make several clicks on the web to find out where Fred placed in Iowa and New Hampshire. Was there a primary somewhere in the South yesterday? Can't tell in the mainstream media.

Have we all become such sheep?

I am going to have to find more pennies to send to Fred. This is ridiculous. My friends and family who sway to the media's tune (Huckabee, McCain....) - what in the world? They are pretty principled, but not students of propaganda like I am.

So, a stay-at-home mother of 5 has got to scrimp to send money to a campaign (Fred's!), as a small sandbag against the flood of RINO's overtaking the GOP. Where are the sober defenders of principle and truth? Freedom? I'm not taking this lying down, but what more can 1 person do?

They do worse to Paul. They did it to Hunter too.

You don’t care about the principle - you only care about your candidate.

Paul won 2nd in Nevada. Barely a peep from the news, except a few articles minimizing the victory.

All we can do is lend our voice and support to the candidate who most reflects American principles, value, and our heritage. The one who most represents that now, after my 1st choice Hunter has dropped out...is Thompson.

After that, if Thompson were to drop out, as I said, for me its Romney, Huckabee, McCain. The last two I would have to absolutely hold my nose and vote for over a Hillary...Romney at least is saying most of the right things...but his commitment to them are still suspect.

I believe a person can change, and want to give him the benefit of the doubt. But his change is far too convienient and close to his bid for the GOP presidential nomination.

I am still hoping against hope that Thompson emerges and gains greqat momentum. We shall see.

Remember that Huckabee has advanced to top tier on virtually no money. So please, from one SAHM to another, save your money! A bumpersticker, yard sign or phone call is just as effective. Romney threw away millions on Iowa.
