Iowa GOP to announce “special guest” at Ames debate

[KramerDSP]

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.

I've seen at least one poster around here insist Doug Wead has no role whatsoever with any prepping. Wead prepped Bush 41 for the debates, and Jack Hunter is another good guy to bounce off attack questions at, so I hope Ron is willing to at least discuss debate strategy with them, if not outright prep with them.

i wouldn't imagine he's paying them for nothing....

How much do you wanna bet that last minute they're going to add Perry to the ballot at Ames. grrr.....

 

[muzzled dogg]

perry is in SC that day http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0811/60884.html

 

[sailingaway]

perry is going to ANNOUNCE that day in SC and pretend he's important enough to invalidate the Ames straw poll results....

Oversized ego is putting it mildly.....

 

[pauliticalfan]

What a creep. The media's really gonna let one guy's announcement trump an entire straw poll that candidates have been campaigning for for months? Pathetic.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Wead isn't prepping Ron for debate.

Says who?

 

[John of Des Moines]

Be optimistic - special guest at the Debate: Rand Paul.

 

[Romulus]

Says who?

That's what I'm saying...

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.

He also needs to bring up Texas' $27 billion deficit (as of January 2011), which has subsequently been reduced by gutting education and using Federal funds meant for emergencies. The question I have about the budget is: Wasn't Bilderberg Perry governor for the last TEN YEARS? What took him so long to balance it? Any chance the budget reduction was a strictly political move just so Perry can tout his marvelous "Texas economy"? Cuz this time it really IS the economy stupid.

Says who?

I believe this was mentioned by RonPaulVolunteer, from conversations he's had with Wead.

Even if they working together to "prep", it doesn't seem like it offers any benefit by announcing it or telling people its happening.

 

[Danke]

"Unnnounced"? "Undesireable"? "Unwanted"?

Sadly, I think you may be right with "unannounced".

And they left out "needs" after special too.

 

[Johncjackson]

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.

I don't think eminent domain is "fringe." Forced vaccinations shouldn't be, but I think it is taken that way. In any decent world those infringements on liberty certainly wouldn't be any more fringe than scapegoating immigrants.

 

[realtonygoodwin]

As a Texas voter, I will tell you that the Gardasil thing is the thing that hurts Perry the most among average voters.

 

[Billay]

If Ron Paul is unelectable how the hell is Perry? The guy openly talked about succession. That isn't going to play well with indies.

 

[Tarzan]

Do we know the identity of this 'special guest' yet?
If its Perry I have an idea that is best not made public.

pissed in the Heart of Texas

 

[rockandrollsouls]

Bilderberg will be a difficult beast to defeat, but Ron can't be shy about this. Our country's future is directly affected by him being cutthroat on issues like this....

He also needs to bring up Texas' $27 billion deficit (as of January 2011), which has subsequently been reduced by gutting education and using Federal funds meant for emergencies. The question I have about the budget is: Wasn't Bilderberg Perry governor for the last TEN YEARS? What took him so long to balance it?

[rockandrollsouls]

Because he has a fairytale, hollywood success story Bilderberg is pimping.

 

[MelissaCato]

Brace yourself. Be prepared to deal with Perry getting 40% of the debate time to himself, Romney will get 30%, Bachmann 20%, and the final 10% split between Pawlenty and Santorum. They will treat Ron like a decoration.

I think this would be really stupid to do because the whole world is watching.
