The heck he doesn’t! Fred is the only one of the five viable GOP candidates who is a conservative. The Romney people want him out of the race so they can lay claim to the “conservative” mantle.
This is why the “Evengelicals for Mitt” website tried to paint Fred as pro-abortion and why a Romney associate put up the “Phoney Fred” website. Romney’s people have a track record of trying to kneecap Fred’s campaign.
I saved emails that came directly from the Romney Michigan Headquarters smearing Fred before he even announced!
He is nothing but a worthless liberal puke!
I have to agree with you 100%. The last thing pseudo conservatives want is to suddenly be compared to a real conservative and have to answer real questions.
The MSM is also complicit in this redefinition of what a “conservative” is. By closing the gap between pseudo conservatives and DemoRats, it makes the general election messages generic, and then the campaign hinges on likability and attack ads.
People have forgotten what a real conservative is about.
Fred is campaigning on issues like fixing Social Security. The other candidates, in the debate, commended Fred for his “courage” for bringing up the issue. But nobody wanted to touch fixing Social Security with a 10 foot pole.
An issue based candidate makes it harder for the generic promises of the other candidates to get past the voters.
Heaven forbid that any candidate have to campaign with specifics!!
LOL That is ludicrous. There is an ordained Baptist preacher running who is telling everyone he is the conservative.
I heard Romney's campaign manager in NH, a woman with a high voice, on a news panel after the primary. Her mantra was Mitt's the true conservative, he's the strongest conservative, ad nauseum. She said conservative at least 6 times in 5 sentences.
My thought was 'sayin' something don't make it so'.
