I'm not worried about any of the folks that I'm running against, least of all Ron Paul,
whose campaign sends one of its Paulites everywhere I show up. Clearly the intent is to agitate,
not to educate. They do that because they're threatened by me, and they've made a conscious
effort to try to discredit me and bring me down by always bringing up the same issue:
the Federal Reserve. They're trying to destroy me on the fact that I was once affiliated
with that body, and they've generated a lot of animosity toward it, some of it warranted,
some of it not warranted, based upon some things I've said about the Federal Reserve.
In doing so, however, they've stretched the truth, saying that I did not want the Federal
Reserve to be audited. I have never said that. I have said, "I don't think you're going to
find anything to audit on the Federal Reserve." But they want you to believe that Herman Cain
doesn't want the Federal Reserve to be audited. I get the same stupid questions at almost
every one of these events. I know it's a deliberate strategy. How can a person randomly show up
at a hundred events and ask the same stupid question to try to nail me on the Federal
Reserve? It's really becoming annoying more than anything else. But I've got news for
those Paulites: It's not going to work, because the American people are a lot smarter than
they are. That's what I'm seeing around the country.
