Conservative direct-mail pioneer Richard A. Viguerie, author of Conservatives Betrayed--How George W. Bush and Other Big Government Republicans Hijacked the Conservative Cause, issued the following statement regarding the Republican presidential debate in Manchester, N.H., Tuesday night:
After three debates by the 10 Republican candidates running for President, they all still continue to flounder and disappoint conservatives. They are not ready for prime time.
Two guys who must be grinning from ear to ear are Newt Gingrich and Fred Thompson. They are the real winners. Not only that, but most Republican Senators, Governors, and Congressmen must be thinking to themselves that they can do better.
Perhaps the candidates’ poor performances will encourage a principled, electable conservative to enter the race. Otherwise, many conservatives in the primaries will be looking for a way to vote for None of the Above.
I may be mistaken, but I don't think Viguerie's pleased with the present GOP field...
