"It is very sad to those of us who started out with him, as he was the only
consistent conservative in the race," Corallo told NEWSWEEK. "Fred was a lackluster candidate who would have made a great president."

    Your attempt to rewrite history merely to suit your political agenda is as pathetic and obvious as your ignorance of even how many times he was elected as Senator with the laughable added implication that he lost re-election! How unconscionably dishonest of you.

    Clearly, you've revealed that beyond parroting the spin of the MSM you have no idea who he is nor what he offered in real experience, principles, values and detailed plans that would not only work in the real world but, would be implementable in successfully passing legislation through the quagmire of Congress.
