Like many Americans, Ray Balgier is not pleased with this presidential election cycle. He, like a growing number of his peers, is a straw man, a group of people that have taken a significant beating during this political season. In the past year alone, Balgier has been personally attacked upwards of 200 times by the two candidates, and the number of attacks is growing faster than ever.<\/p>\n
\u0093I honestly don\u0092t get it,\u0094 Balgier said of the recent trend of beating the verbal shit out of him at any given opportunity to speak. \u0093I don\u0092t know what to make of it all. It starts off nice, they just start quoting some facts to each other.All is well\u0085 then they just go ahead and drop me in on things.\u0094<\/p>\n
This disturbing trend has been evident at every level of the campaigns. \u0093\u0091Did you know Obama wants to get rid of the military and leave us defenseless and alone?\u0092\u0093 Balgier recalled hearing one night during a debate. \u0093Why the fuck did they have to bring me into that? What did I do?\u0094 Balgier read one transcript of another attack against his person: \u0093\u0092Mitt Romney and his supporters believe everything can be solved if the government just gets out of the way\u0092\u0097I have never said that, I don\u0092t know why Obama had to do me like that\u0094.<\/p>\n
The recent debates aren\u0092t the first time that people in the political world have lashed out at Ray Balgier. Earlier this year, Obama claimed \u0093Mitt Romney is waging a war on women\u0094, which Balgier notes was harmful because it nearly derailed his marriage. This presidential cycle also heard Mitt Romney, in a now infamous quote, saying \u0093my opponent thinks that if you have a successful business, you didn\u0092t build that.\u0094 Mr. Balgier has a small-cookie bakery and knows firsthand what is needed to build a successful, small business. “Frankly, that comment was just “out of line,” complains Balgier. <\/p>\n
