"It is very sad to those of us who started out with him, as he was the only

    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.

    Regurgitating the spin of the MSM as reasons for Fred's "failed" run is disngenuous at best.
