The reason that you're attracting PDQ's ridicule is that he is politically connected to either one of the two major parties or to the party of the police (Conservative Party) which is reportedly run by the Democrats and that you are being seen as dangerous to their interests. If your candidacy for political office was seen as inconsequential, you would not be chastized and badgered.
Keep taking the high road. Let your opponents wallow in and drown in the mud. You are a serious contender with principles and conviction. You will emerge victorious! Remember that the registered blanks, those who are not affiliated with any party, are significant in number. You may also draw votes from those in the major parties who have grown disenchanted with the status quo.
You dont have the guts to run for office. file your papers, raise some dough and show up at our fundraiser and will see how your received. go on the ballot and you play spoiler not a chance in hell of winning. thats why you're being encouraged to run. you help Stevie fat ego and his minnions. mertz,silva,Joey G couldnt cope and either will you. imho Don't be a wuss!!!

Exactly! You are 'clean' Michael. You are not held to a political party's ideology. Consider yourself very lucky and a serious threat to this election. Otherwise, people like PDQ would have not even remarked in such a vial manner. It is refreshing to know that it is people like PDQ that are your opposition. That is where we want them. There is no intelligent conversation or vision. Just the usual political mud slinging.
Just like liberty stated.....'keep taking the high road'.

I don't know who will ever join the 'revolution'. I think that half of the population is in line at the DSS building. They clearly won't be in favor of a revolution! Bet if ya asked them, they are all in favor of high taxes. That's what allows them to be in that line to begin with.

The recipients of public benefits who line Broadway each day are totally dependent on the government to feed them, to house them, and to provide them with minimal sustenance. As long as they will not provide for themselves and their families, they will be told how to live, what to eat, where to reside, and who to vote for.
Our government depends upon an impoverished, uninformed, and uninspired populace to hold onto its power.
Interesting point, Cicero and one I appreciate. The counter-approach both you and bumblethru advocate is not lost on me. I think my reluctance to go that route is rooted in my past experiences trying to work within the party structure. One thing I know I couldn't tolerate and also know I'd never be able to control is the negative campaigning that gets done. Like you said, they're happy to have you on board as long as you fall in step and can win. They don't much care what they might have to do in order to win.
If I create a new party, the aim is to strip it down to some basic, immediate needs and solutions. Too much time and effort is wasted on protecting party interests. Why not focus on the residents for a change?
It all comes down to what you point out. Can I show my message is a winner? Doesn't matter what party I'm with. Can I show my message is a winner? I'm prepared to learn my message is not what people want if it comes down to that but I've got to feel I carried it to them as intended.
And so it begins.
I'm carrying my message as intended. We'll see if it's the right one but some other independent candidates seem to have a similar one so I like the odds.
Interestingly, I've integrated the advice received earlier from people like bumblethru and Cicero into my approach. Hence, the Republican primary effort. For me, it's more about speaking to voters earlier than about trying to save the party but it fits. My independent effort in July will still be my main focus.
But the "revolution" seems firmly underway around me which is truly astounding! There could be plenty of alternative candidates on the ballot this go round which has me excited beyond description.
Good for you Michael. We appreciate your hard work and dedication and more importantly you vision and honesty. My best to you!
