And the others, who I can't even name, are as irrelevant as the candidates running for Congress in District 22.Who are they and who really cares?
Including every unknown candidate (including Shami) wouldn't be a mistake. It would be stupid. If this was a debate for High School President, it might be a good thing, but this isn't a liberal twister game we are playing. White vs Shami is bad enough.
Oh....the picture above is one of the 6 besides Shami who doesn't know what the hell he is doing running for Governor.

Good grief, John, it is rather frightening how opposed to democracy you really are. Seems to me that your position is that your preferred candidate should be anointed by the media and the party powers-that-be.
I am sorry, but the other candidates are absolutely an embarrassment to the Democratic party.
If they just tried to act like a politician, like what they are running for, I might give them a pass. But when you think that just because you have good ideas, you should be governor, no. Hell no.
None of them have a chance in hell to be governor or High School President for that matter.
Who is Farouk Shami? The real issue is not necessarily his religion, but his credibility. Are his Public Statements factual or just Beauty Show hype?
Farouk in San Antonio (10/21/09): “I manage business in 106 countries, I have tens of thousands of employees, and we've brought billions of dollars to the state of Texas,” Shami said.
Fact Check:
• Farouk manufacturers the products and sells them to independent distributors/importers (in US and overseas), who in return sell to the salons. He DOES NOT manage these companies. They are his customers.
• Likewise the employees of these distributors or the salons which use his products are NOT Farouk’s employees.
• Farouk has always claimed that he sells only to the professional hairdressers, yet his products can be found in Wal-Mart, Costco, Target, HEB, as well as discount stores.
Farouk’s management philosophy includes
• “I conceived it, thus it’s done”, i.e. making a decision tonight and fully expecting it to be implemented before he even talks to anyone – it works in a small entrepreneurial organization where he has the total control and it is his own money – However, how would it work in our democratic form of government?
• In his culture (and business practice) – “cousins” (anyone with Middle Eastern heritage) make no mistakes and family “walks on water” , i.e. the actual professional qualifications are secondary in his mind
Farouk’s solution to border control – Grant every undocumented immigrant a US Citizenship who turns in a gang member. What a great idea – Really?
With this high of stakes, what are chances that we would turn the country into a neighborhood watch society similar to
• Gestapo in Nazi Germany
• Stasi in East Germany
• KGB in Soviet Union
Stasi - The Ministry for State Security (East Germany) was widely regarded as one of the most effective and repressive intelligence and secret police agencies in the world. When part-time informer adults were included, the figures reach approximately one spy per 6.5 citizens. What a Country!
How many informants would be ‘outed’ for the exchange of money and/or protection?
In other words, a society where the citizens are watching their neighbors and reporting them to special government agencies in order to gain personal favors.
