Did you by chance see Ron Paul's comments in the Sun a few weeks back where he stated he does not expect to be elected President nor does he want the job? He wants to foster change and shake up mainstream thinking and debate. I like much of what he says but was candidly saying he would never get elected. Thank you for your comments Lowell.

]]> Comment on Social Media 101 – The Business of Being “Connected” by Hector Negron http://bobpaff.com/social-media-101-the-business-of-being-connected/#comment-3310 Hector Negron Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:47:57 +0000 http://bobpaff.com/?p=1019#comment-3310 On that same token, I want to add that a lot of employers looking for possible new hires go to these sites and look to hire people. They reach out to lure in job seekers but they don't when all the people they reached out to are not hired or qualified for the vacancy. They start the job but never finish it. Only that lucky one or most qualified candidate gets the congratulations you're hired email. I am currently looking for work and have been for the past seven months. I have been to several job interviews and I always get the same response from all of the recruiters; "Thank you for your time and we'll contact you about our selection." Or better yet when you are applying online, I see the bold letters stating: "Apply only online, no phone calls, faxes or walk-ins allowed. Do not call for status. For status email us at XXXXX@domain.com" So you send out your email with hope to hear from somebody at the other end but guess what, no such luck. How impersonal is this? If you take the time to communicate when you are in need to fill in an opening, why not communicate to all the ones that didn't qualify or met your criteria for the position? Why only communicate with the one that qualified for the position? What difference does it make? How much more time is this going to take away from you performing your other duties? Personally, I don't believe that much. Just as an email was drafted for the qualified candidate, another email can be drafted and sent out to all of those that didn't qualify for the position. An email distribution list can be created from all of those candidates that didn't qualify and the drafted email can be sent out separate from the one for the qualified candidate. This way everyone involved in the process (specially the job seeker) knows where they stand and can continue looking for work. Bottom line if we are going to use the social media for our hiring needs, let's not just start the process but let's also complete it. Follow through all the way, it's only fair to all of those out there that are looking for work. It keeps their minds free from one thing less to worry about.

As far as being a leader goes, Ron Paul has the most dedicated following of ANY candidate, and it is growing every day thanks to the alternative media. But sadly no thanks to the Establishment media, or those who foolishly parrot their huge and calculated lie that electing a liberty candidate who will defend the Constitution is not possible. I dare say that 2/3 of the population in 1775 did not fully support or believe that a rag-tag volunteer army could beat the greatest world power of the day, but not only was it possible (with God's help) but it happened! I pray for God's help in making the 'impossible' possible today. I fear that if we do not, if we fall for the media lies, we will never turn back to the free country we once were, and our chains will be forever forged. There is no other candidate in the race who will work to stop our fast track to tyranny (in the name of safety!), other than Ron Paul.
