Hello all. My handle on youtube is “PBrady13”, and yes, I was the one that made the video. I’m surprised at how much steam it gathered, but that also means needing to clarify some.
A few things:
1) Yes, I am a Lawson supporter. Before he announced he was running, I was volunteering for Roche (I even had videos up for him on youtube, and obviously at the time was subscribed to him), and donated to him as well. Once BJ announced he was running, I carefully looked at both and decided to head to BJ’s camp. I would like to think that I’m somewhat impartial in this regard.
2) Yes, the video is “edited”. That’s kind of the point. I don’t think it would manage to get that many views (or get my point across) if people had to sift through the whole 9+ minute long video. If you watch the whole video (which is available for all to see on his youtube page), you’ll see that all pertinent information was taken IN context. That was the purpose of having that ~20 seconds of lead in. As for the “hasty” part...well...that’s all I could manage in between classes :-)
3) Was this just a gaffe or something bigger? I don’t know. In an effort to distinguish himself from BJ, he’s said some things that I couldn’t help but think were mistakes, but he has repeated them several times over. “Managed capitalism”, as someone already mentioned, is one example. “I’ve never lost to David Price” is another. The last one off the top of my head would probably be how he blames the Federal Reserve’s problems on the fact that it is “made up of human beings”. It is because of this reoccurring theme that I finally decided to make a video.
Hopefully that clears some of this up.
