News from Iowa

That's not the one in Des Moines but it looks exactly the same. I think a woman from Kansas City did this.

Here's a 30-second TV ad being run here by Tancredo. I don't see these since I rarely watch TV but I read about this running here and found the clip:

I watched it.. Ron Paul better step it up on this issue. Tancredo is gonn really smother him.

I do admit, I have had debates with Tancredo fans vs. Ron Pauls' stance on some illegal immigration issues and they usually win. I am just not knowledgeable enough on why Ron Paul votes one way or the other.

Dave, have you been able to ask Ron or any of the "uppers" why he is not really focusing on this issue. I mean, this is a very big issue for America...

First off, thats about all Tancredo has. Second, Tancredo's ideal of stopping illegal immigration is by force. Ron Paul's is by taking away the incentives to come here and freeload, so if there are illegal immigrants, they will HAVE to be productive members of society. Tell them that Tancredo's methods would only lead to more violence along the border, and more smuggling and corruption. Ron Paul would secure the border with border patrol, but would also pull the problem up by the roots, namely, the welfare state. Tell them that, and i dont see how they can win.

we can talk offline if you want.. pm me. I'd rather than go over the differences in illegal immigration between the two. But I think the real issue is, PEOLE KNOW WHERE TANCREDO STANDS. Ron Paul is not very vocal about it... that is my major gripe.

awesome!

Wow!!! Who are these people???? Damn!

 

[bygone]

Holy cow that's one serious billboard. Those things are expensive, lol.

 

[Badger Paul]

Thank the heavens for whomever put that up!

Now its time for the people of Iowa to make the excitement. The meetup groups should be all over these rallies and the Iowa State Fair. The free media opportunities will be very important

Combine that with all the calls and letters and emails RP volunteers have been sending, a good debate performance by RP on Sunday and Lord Xar's ads and you've got yourself a serious Iowa camapaign.

It's all coming together!

Tommy's done pandering and now Romney's coming in! I wonder if they high-five out in the hallway?

Romney started out by kissing Iowa's butt and now Mickelson's grilling him on the Constitution and Original Intent. You could hear the fear in Romney's voice when Jan started down this path.

 

[Dave]

Wow! Things started getting heated between Mickelson and Romney regarding abortion. The conversation was supposed to continue after a commercial break but it abruptly ended. Jan said Romney is welcome to come back but doesn't think that is likely since some bridges were set afire.

I love it when these gasbags come up against an intellectual line of questioning.

 

[Dave]

Touchdown!!

I just heard (10:58 CDT) a Ron Paul commercial on 1040 WHO radio during Jan Mickelson's show! This is not from the campaign - this was put together by Lord Xar here and funded by a lot of generous Ron Paul supporters.

The commercial was really good. It mentioned things like him being an Air Force surgeon...congressman...increased veteran's benefits...pursue Bin Laden...end the UN war...never voted for a tax increase...Taxpayer's Best Friend from NTU...defend borders...end birthright citizenship and welfare for illegals...no amnesty.

That's as fast as I could take notes. I thought it was really well done. Hats off to everyone involved!

Even better, the commercial aired just after Jerry Corsi mentioned Ron Paul during his interivew with Jan.

Does anyone have a link to this commercial so everyone can hear it?

If interested, I recommend checking Jan's podcast today so you can hear the exchange with Romney and good interview with Jerry Corsi about SPP, amero, etc.

 

[Badger Paul]

Score! A direct hit!

 

[Lord Xar]

Awesome!!!

ThurJan Michelson 1X - Deace 1X - Dr. Laura 1X - Michael Reagan 1x

Mickelson is great. I love his show!!!

That's a great lady in KC. The thing about this is that that money should have been sent to the official Ron Paul Campaign so his totals would be larger. That seems to be the only thing the MSM is interested in... the size of the war chest.

NOW... I am in no way critizing that good KC lady. I KNOW why she did it... the RP Campaign wasn't going to so like a Minuteman, she took action. We in the grassroots will probably have to do more of this type of thing.

 

[ARealConservative]

That is terrific.

I want to thank everyone that is putting the effort into Iowa - we will return the favor when the time comes!

I just had a strange occurence happen. I'm an I/T developer and had a meeting this morning and everybody was in the parking lot as I drove up. They noticed my bumper stickers and were asking me about it. A large group of foreign workers from India were present and they interrupted the question of "Who is Ron Paul". The one Indian said "He is the only guy that will regain respect for America from the rest of the world". I agree completely but was stunned to hear it. We are making progress guys!!!

I'm not allowed to go into politics on the clock - so I left my explanation brief. I said he is the only candidate that feels Our natural rights were not given to us by government yet their lone responsibility is to protect those rights. It is this idea that made America wholly unique and superior to the rest of the world and it is this idea that Dr. Paul fights for.
