GOP in Ron Paul denial in Iowa

[moderate libertarian]

Not sure what the best section is to post this but seems like a good sign of GOP establishment's early panic:

and Rick Santorum seems ready to punch anyone who won't let him attack Iran tomorrow morning.

LOL...busting a gut right now. Classic line.

Losing Iowa helps in New Hampshire? So it's not winning that counts, its losing? What the?

Is he high?

hahahahahaha

These days, Gov. Branstad isn't alone. The entire Republican establishment is babbling similar nonsense about the importance of being earnest and a loser in Iowa.

hahahahaha

Ron Paul, the Texas congressman and libertarian who is leading most polls in Iowa with a message of cutting government, including the defense budget, and staying out of wars.

The problem isn't that he's saying it. Paul has been consistent for years. The problem for the GOP establishment is that the American people are now listening. And this threatens the coalition that can put Karl Rove and Wall Street and the Religious Right at the same table to slice the pie of power.

Noice.

I'm not endorsing Paul here. But you'd have to be blind not to see Republican bosses in panic. Because if Paul wins Iowa, his ideas might catch fire. And then the bosses won't be able to feed as easily.

Iowa: where winning isn't as important as losing.

This guy's alright.

Pundits and media talking heads have always been an amusing bunch. Where do they come up with half their twisted political spin?

Wow Kass nails it on the head in this article. The Tribune is the biggest paper in Chicago and John Kass is a very respected columnist.

Branstad comments are not in the proper context. He says he likes Ron and just meant multiple people can take benefit from Iowa.
