To quote an old saying, "he says what he means, and means what he says". He understands the world we live in, the gravity of our war on terrorism and the geopolitics involved, our national security requirements, as well as the necessity of a strong economy, and proficient health and educational systems. And he understands what role the federal government should take in these matters and what roles it should not, states rights. You see, Fred is a firm believer in our constitution. He's quite outspoken for our 2nd ammendment rights because of that belief.

By almost any OBJECTIVE measure, Richardson is the most qualified candidate; Been governor, been in congress, been a diplomat, etc. Yet, he can't get any traction. Why? the cult of Hillary and Obama. The media loves Hillary because she is a candidate that brings out divisions and heated rhetoric...she feeds the beast. Same with Obama and his ability to articulate. Would the old smoke filled back rooms give us worse candidates? Since it seems that it is mostly the committed Left and committed Right that participate in the nominating, I would say no.<BR/><BR/>Bring back the Smoke Filled Rooms!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
