If you're from outside of Iowa don't go to Ames for the straw poll

[trey4sports]

Overzealous, man. Overzealous and irrational. Let it not be said that we did nothing? Puh-lease. What are you going to do?

he's screening For Liberty the night before to several hundred likely straw-poll voters...

A lot of destruction in that video. And everyone knows that's exactly what we're going to need at Ames.... right.

There is no reason to tell people where they should or shouldn't go. Liberty is about both rights & responsibilities.

1) Do all you say you are going to do.

2) Do not encroach on other persons or their property.

That's it folks. Two simple and easy to understand "rules" through which any person with an IQ above 50 should be able to navigate their way through life. The first law governs acts of contract and civil engagement, while the second deals with acts of a more criminal nature. But together, both cover the gammut of potentialities that we all face in our daily lives.

Well, perhaps he has a reason to go, but the sort of blind opposition to the campaign that he showed in his post, I think is hurtful and unnecessary. That kind of overzealous use of catch-phrases to promote rabid activism at the straw poll is what we are trying to avoid.

Sure. Perhaps a little attention would do us some good.

So, Bauchmann and Pawlenty are encouraging everyone who supports them to come to Ames even if they do not live in Iowa and Steve B. is telling all Ron Paul supporters to stay home and donate if they live out of state....?

All I have to say is that we better win Ames this time...! If we do not, Steve B. has lost all credibility in my mind.

Again, the very people that they are trying to discourage from being there are likely the only one's that will go now..

YEAP, appears that way... Bachmann has ramped up her Banners/Ads flying around every internet site related to Iowa, Newspapers, TV, Social, Education, Biz, etc. to join in for Ames. Smart move

While it sucks she is doing this, remember that the vast majority of straw poll voters will not be reached via the internet.

That's cute and all, but Rage Against the Machine is a MARXIST POS group. Nice choice.

If you want to HELP the campaign, contact the campaign and start calling Iowans to get them to the Straw poll. That will do far more good than attending from out-of-state.

I saw that, and think it might mean Ron comes in second, frankly. And think Ron should do it too. But it doesn't mean come from out of state, when you can't even vote.

It's a very very cost effective operation, which requires very little resources(man hours) to sustain.

Has anyone sighed up for Bachmann's AMES push to see exactly how they are handling this? Didn't Romney and Huckabee do some payola stuff in Iowa last time around?

Reminds me of Romney busing and paying people in the Nevada Caucus to vote...

REID with his gift cards and free lunches to vote or participate...

Can't recall what else may have happen in Iowa 2007?

Correct, that is why doing the research around Iowa's internet and highest traffic websites and communities... she has these ads WITHIN Iowa.

Bachmann's enrollment page... they will assist in transportation... she's doing this on Twitter and FB too.

Where the hell did I say anything about how effective I personally was? Thank you so much for the insult. Myself, I have no doubt that I garnered Ron more attention than he would have, but that want the point of my post.

I was bringing the attention to the fact that swarms of out of staters just milling around is more of a detriment than a boon. That, and the ones being adamant about going are likely the same ones to get in verbal battles with other camps' workers, which looks very bad for Ron as well.

So you say you got Ron...wait for it.... 4 WHOLE VOTES!!! And how many others lumped you in with all the other outsiders milling around and actually used that as justification to rule Ron out as an option? Yes, I realize I'm including myself in that as well, hence why I will be abstaining from attending this year.

While it wasn't meant to be an insult, continue with this type of attitude and I know why you should stay home this time.... "4 Whole votes" is better than nothing and those are the only votes that I can be at least 99% sure of. (They could have been lying to me but I doubt it…) We talked to hundreds more people and may have done much better than that but there is no way for me to know as I did not get to follow up with them.

By the way, how many votes did Ron loose by at SRLC in LA time before last? (Hint: less than 4...)

Go, don't go, it is up to you of course but I am just saying that in my opinion most of us do more good than harm in this situation and to discourage us is only going to have the opposite effect in the end. By doing so, you are only going to get those who will not listen to anybody to show up and you are also disappointing some of Ron Paul’s most active supporters…
