I think Ron needs to stop being so humble and he needs to shut Perry down immediately..

He needs to bring up NAFTA, emminent domain stuff, forced vaccination info, state funds for illegal immigrants etc...

And that will be that.. if everyone pussy foots around Perry, it will be stupid.

 

[TomtheTinker]

^^^^^^

 

[PastaRocket848]

of all those... i'd say "state funds for illegal immigrants" is the only one i'd touch with a ten foot pole. everything else just sounds fringe.

Yippie. Figured the Iowa GOP wasn't stupid enough to diss the declared candidates (esp. MB & TP) by giving Reverend Rick a hall pass.

Still say RP will declare on the 13th to steal all the thunder from Ames.

A gynecologist bringing up Perry's executive order mandating Gardasil injections, which would have benefited his contributor Merck, is "fringe"?

See drudge report. You're spot on.

Reince Priebus?

Man, who cares?

You seem very defensive on Perry's behalf.

He is what he is. Pointing it out isn't fringe. He is pretending to be the OPPOSITE of what he is, and hypocrisy is an issue regardless of whether the underlying point is one you agree with.

Doesn't this help us though? Perry doesn't really take votes away from us. The more people that write in his name, the better, no?

Short-term hurt (his announcement will smother coverage of Ames); long-term help. He will be another flavor-of-the-month and dilute the strength of MB/T-Paw/Herm/Mitt.

Does Santorum drop out and endorse Perry after Ames to consolidate the evangelical vote? Does Cain drop out and simply say he'll support the nominee (he doesn't strike me as an endorser)? Is there anyone who might drop out soon who would endorse Ron? Maybe Newt?

Further down the road if Bachmann starts to fade and the race is down to Paul/Perry/Romney, don't be surprised if MB looks at crap like this and says "to hell with the establishment, I'm endorsing Ron Paul":

she is the establishment

Ron Paul just needs to knock it out of the park at the debate and get the media to talk about him and not the surprise guest

This. The surprise guest I'm looking forward to seeing won't be on the stage, but will make his presence felt nonetheless--Doug Wead.

 

[brushfire]

Reggie Brown?

He never fails to deliver... The throw him fastballs and he hits homeruns...

that would make a great YouTube... show them trying set him up then cut to Ron Paul hitting a homerun in the ball game after giving his answer.

 

[Agorism]

Could be Huck.

 

[falconplayer11]

According to Townhall, the special guest is Reince Priebus, GOP chairman.

Lame.

[doctor jones]

Done by design...
