Actually, it started with Perry. Myself and his other supporters along with the Governor were called the worst, most obnoxious names by a gang of trolls who were given no limits on this forum. A number of them were Cain supporters who switched to Gingrich or just disappeared once Perry dropped out.
And Perry was a full-fledged conservative, head and shoulders above the current ones.
For the most part, I held my tongue against Bachmann, Perry, even Gingrich, and was a Cain supporter and went to Santorum. Might be a few times I unloaded on Newt Gingrich but never any carpet bombing, or incessant, PSYCHOTIC showing up on Newt thread after Newt thread being an agent provocateur to distrupt over there. I respect them and leave them alone. Newt is not the worst guy in the world and stands as my second choice in this race to stop Romney. My number one problem in this 2012 GOP season, open source, no hidden agenda or allegiences here or playing games or astro-turfing, has ALWAYS BEEN Mitt Romney, along with Obama of course. I have made every effort to target fire where it should be targeted, as a conservative. Hope I have been true to those precepts and values.
And I was with you. Perry was my favorite and it was hard to watch the degrading demeaning treatment he got on this board. As you said, "by a gang of trolls who were given no limits on this forum".
I don't know where we go from here but I pray for our future that we're able to support and build up our candidates. Too much at stake to not give it our all.
