Hunter has great positions on the issues, and a great record of committment to conservative principles. But he hasn't been able to poll higher than a few percentage points in the Republican primaries. And so I have no confidence in his ability to run an effective marketing campaign for himself as President of the United States in the general election.

Are you sure about #7? I thought he said he doesn't support Fair Tax?

Did the 2/3 tax bill ever pass? If not, does Fred intend to push it as President?
