“Why is it that the Freepers who never trust what the MSM has to say about anything are the same ones who believe everythng that the MSM has to say about Fred being lazy, needing to get some fire, blah, blah, blah?”

Thats one of the things that perplexes me. Those that rant against the MSM and its plausiblity, then quote verbatom when it fits their thinking. Funny.

Kind of like the NFL. You want to peak at just the right time.

Yes, some of the surprises will include that Fred doesn’t believe the federal government has the power to codify the social conservative agenda.

This has to do with his core principal of federalism - Article I, Section 8 powers only for the feds, all others to the states per the 10th.

Dirty little secret: Fred has had as many stops a day or more than the other candidates. It is simply reported as lackadazical and no fire in the belly. It’s the MSM template, don’t you know?

I truly believe that the MSM makes disparaging remarks about Fred or ignores him intentionally because they don’t want him to be our nominee. They know that he’ll be harder for the demonRat candidate to beat than any of the so-called frontrunners.

I hope one of those surprises is spelled N. R. A.

0ur MSM hates any true Conservative. Witness their treatment of Fred and Hunter—even Fox leaves Fred off all their polls.
Every adjective used is either belittling or demeaning for either man.
Thompson/Hunter—that’s my ticket.

I liked when Fred said on Fox, ‘there are some humiliations that even a presidential candidate shouldn’t have to put up with.’

Repeat after me:

Yup.

Letting the MSM choose our candidate is like letting the opposing manager pick your starting pitcher.

I think he's saying that because he feels the need to respond to the incessant MSM stories that he's "lazy" or "not committed to the race"

Politically..I think he's playing it correctly. He felt esrly on that no clear cut favorite would emerge from the early races..so why waste the effort and money. I think the push in Iowa now is because they don't believe ( nor do I) the polls showing Huckabee's lead.

“I will ditto Thompson’s’s last remark. If he should make it to the WH, ya’ll might not like some of Fred’s surprises.”

I think the above will be true no matter who wins. I do however believe there may be fewer surprises with Thompson than perhaps with either Romney or Guiliani.

Reagan wasn’t perfect, despite the hagiography lavished on him over the past 10 years.

Why is it that the Freepers who never trust what the MSM has to say about anything are the same ones who believe everythng that the MSM has to say about ...

Not just about Fred.... They "believe" the MSM when it feeds their fears or their biases. The MSM "lies" when it goes against their preconceptions.

People are looking for a conservative alternative to Rudy Giuliani, but only if that person can first be equally as credible on the issue of terrorism and national security.

Then why are Rudy's numbers shrinking?

I know we’re a long ways out, but I like Fred and so does my husband.
