The negative is that it obviously takes away time from the other candidates. If Chapman and McBerry were smart they would find someone to host a one-on-one DEBATE (not forum) between them shortly after the Big 5 Forum at a nearby location. They would pick up some press and get more publicity than the Big 5 just because it's a debate and they could also react to what was said at the Big 5 Forum. If they're not doing it then they should. I would even have folks passing out fliers before the Big 5 Forum to encourage the crowd to walk to the other venue. They will get a good crows just out of curiosity and the political junkies will go to both. As I have said before, it would suit me to have all 7 in the debate.

This gets the word out. Raising a stink is part of the "message" too, as the "status quo" is exposed circling the wagons, see? The grassroots is less likely to hitch their wagon to the probable "winners" and more likely to stick to their principles as, not being directly involved in politics, has nothing to lose, no "credibility" points gained or lost by supporting the outsider. There's no downside. There's no "adjustment period" needed. No "rethinking", or "re-aligning" in support of the "top tier" in order to "get brownie points", favors, ect... It's a different world overall. Ken

Before he got all bat-crap crazy on us with all the war talk, the only thing I had on him was his theocratic ways, and even that was more based on one or two concrete issues (abortion for one) along with more side-type stuff. In those few moments when Ray is actually lucid and talking about civil liberties, he can be someone I agree with tremendously. But then, inevitably, he goes off into one of his conspiracy theorist lunatic rants, and I simply can NOT go there. anewday:

That's how I found out about McBerry. It was a facebook ad back in February or March of last year. I actually liked McBerry, and still do for the most part, but after doing some research I figured out that he was a little to extreme for my likings. If he could stick to the Constitution and not talk of things like secession I would be on his team. Understood. That’s how I found out about McBerry.
