The campaign is lost.

[JP Cusick]

I lost big time.

The results here = Maryland State Board of Elections - Primary results U.S. Senator - 2012

At last people have me as I am now an official failure and a loser - again.

So I do believe this is my last time to run for any election, and unless something truly drastic changes then I have no intention of ever being into politics ever again as my campaigning days are now over and done.

As to the evil Child Support then any paying parent could fight against it and win against it if they just had the faith, but these days there is not much faith going around.

Can't you take consolation in the fact that you did not come in last place. Other people were bigger losers than you!!!

I was really just trying to feed into the claims of other people against me, and I surely did not expect to receive any such sympathy from my words.

My attempt at me being facetious has back-fired on me, and I would have preferred to get insulted rather then pitied.

In answer to your question then no, I can not take consolation in that other candidates did a little worse than I - certainly not.

Very early in the campaign as in maybe a year ago now - I searched up info on the other candidates and the worst of them are repeat offenders (political offenders) with utterly senseless campaign ideas which means I have just been officially ranked in with the political cooks. So I knew it as I joined in anyway and I knew that I was trashing myself.

To run for any election is mostly controlled by the 2 major Political Parties so only die hard Democrats vote in their primary which gives an almost assured rubber stamping to their own status quo, and I am not really knocking that as it makes sense to support the status quo, and I too want the Democrats to beat the repulsive Republicans.

And the Newspapers and TV News and all give their support to the status quo too which shuts out any person such as myself, but that is sensible and logical in my perspective too.

My actual intent from the beginning was simply to use the candidacy platform as a tool for me to preach my message onto other internet forums nationwide and to that I had some success even though there appears to be no real effect or success in it, as I did my duty and that is now done.

It would have been awful for me if I had won the election, and I am very much better off having lost the thing, but I am still unsatisfied and unhappy about it.

That was excellent, and you gave me a genuine joyful laugh this morning.

And I definitely do appreciate that you would be so considerate of my feelings in this regard.

Sincere cheers.

One more thing concerning my own perspective of my campaigning years which comes from the Holy Qur'an, which declares as follows:

"When We decide to destroy a population, We (first) send a definite order to those among them who are given the good things of this life and yet transgress; so that the word is proved true against them: then (it is) We destroy them utterly."
Surah 17:16

Now I may not have accomplished that - or maybe I did, but this was always in my intentions.

To send the message is the job for people like myself, while the destruction comes from God.

FYI.

I am a Christian too as I see the Holy Qur'an as just an extension of the Bible.

So I hope for the day when justice will come for us all.

As to the Child Support then I really wish that I could find some new and better way to proceed against it.

For now I am beaten, as one does not really surrender when one is forced into a loss.

I reject viewing the religions as being in competition, so Jesus and Muhammad are not in competition either.

Some people make the claim that Jesus is second to God while Muhammad is just a Man. But that implies that being a Man is to be inferior which is not what Jesus tells us, as Jesus tells us that all of mankind are sons and daughters of God (or of Allah which is the same God by another language).

So I accept that Muhammad was a messenger and another prophet so he was certainly thereby an exceptional Man.

Of course I also see the Buddha as a messenger of God, as was Confucius and Lao Tzu and Krishna and Gandhi and millions of others have been messengers from God, as my understanding of God is that God is very active and involved.

It truly is a mistake to view the different aspects of God as being a competition - as in fact they are all in harmony.

So I do not see any as superseding as I see all as in harmony.

Recently I have been considering a new strategy, in that I might take the complaint about the Child Support being enforced illegally (which it is - link) and take that to the US Dept of Justice, or even to the US Dept of Labor who has the authority over this issue.

That was my intention if I had won the election but I expect it will be much harder to do otherwise.

Since the laws are enforced illegally then I would expect that it could be addressed as just a procedural correction.
