I have received a hell storm of backlash over the weekend especially on facebook because of my endorsement of Ron Paul.
Let's clear a few things up about the accusations of this forum and myself from Herman Cain cammpaign staff and some of his very loyal supporters.
# 1 : If you are endorsing Ron Paul you were never a Herman Cain supporter.
Wrong! The reason I and many other people supported Herman Cain was because we were sick and tired of the typical Washington insiders that have destroyed this country, there are only two people on that stage in the last couple months that I believe are not Washington establishment insiders. Herman Cain and Ron Paul. Every other candidate for many of us here on the forum agree that the likes of Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry are without a doubt typical politicians. Every one of these people have flip flopped on issues over the years ( flip flop : takes one position one day and then changes their position another day to fit the audience ) These types of people are the problem and will never be the solution. Herman and Ron are the only 2 people that have not done this type of action.
# 2 : This site is a fake website.
Really? So I assume what we have been doing here since May has been a figment of everyones imagination? Let me get this straight, A few grassroots people spend money, time and effort to set up a website shortly after Herman Cain announced he was running for President, and host 2 money bombs for him that raised money for his campaign. so by this logic, we would have had to know that Herman Cain who hadn't even had not even been polled would become a frontrunner, and also know that he would have a huge media smear job done on him and also that he would drop out of the race before the first state even votes? Michele Bachman would have been a better bet considering she won the Iowa straw poll. I guess I should be playing the lottery considering I can see that far in the future. This weeks powerball number will be 4 13 16 29 43 and the power ball is 17 I encourage everyone that believes this to bet every penny they have on these numbers.
# 3 : Ron Paul is not an outsider.
I disagree, considering the way the media is treating Ron Paul reminds me of exactly what they have done to Herman, and if the media is against a guy I take a closer look at that candidate. I chose Ron Paul because he is the only outsider left in the race, just like with Herman Cain, I believe that Congressman Ron Paul will do exactly what he claims he will do and that is what this country needs is honesty in politics, not more of the politicians that will say one thing then do another once elected, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED WITH OBAMA, can anyone name one campaign promis he kept? Just name one, if the american people don't start electing honest people in washington we will never solve our problems we face.
# 4 : Some of Ron Pauls positions are radical :
Yes I agree they are, but extreme situations require extreme measures, we keep trying the same thing over and over again and nothing changes and our country is falling deeper into the blackhole. What did Albert Einstein say the definiton of insanity was? We need some drastic changes, this go along to get along attitude in washington is exactly what got us into this mess in the first place,. Yes let's make some REAL CHANGES!
# 5 : Ron Paul can't win Mike you are wasting your vote.
Really? Did every one of you not see who we elected for president in 2008? I am no longer going to vote for who the media says is the winner, the media doesn't choose the candiates the american people do, and I am one of those people, btw the new demoines register poll show Ron Paul in 2nd place in IA.
# 6 : I wasted enough time on this nonsense, Ron Paul is my choice for President in 2012
