Mods please fix the thread title... This is confirmed.

By whom? I have yet to see a confirmation from anyone, except an article that says Paul is invited.

WOOOHOOO, let them try to silence us. We will give them a real lesson on blowback. They are now between a rock and a hard place......pick your poison GOP, ignore us and feel the wrath or let RP in and watch your party(used to be my party) be torn apart with logic and the lessons of history.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

If this actually did happen, everyone should attend as "other candidate's supporters" and then collectively BOO the candidates off the stage right in the midway point of the debate. That would get headlines.

I LIKE THAT IDEA!! BOO EVERYBODY!!


THE BOO BOMB!

I just called the Iowa GOP, and the lady didn't know which candidates were in or out. The guy that is supposed to have the answers is in a meeting, and I have to leave for the day. I won't be at the phone again until after they've closed. Maybe there are some other Iowa Republicans that can help get some answers?

 

[Shink]

Just called the campaign about this matter. The guy who answered seemed confused as to what the influx of calls are about, and I mentioned the apparent 5% poll exclusion for the Faux News debate. He said they weren't sure about the specifics but acknowledged the exclusionary tactics. I asked if they'd at least hold an alternate event if they exclude Ron. He was confident they would.

There is scheduling confusion afoot as well--he mentioned calls asking if Ron'd be at some debate *today* in which case the answer is no. He asked me what date I referred to and I took someone's post saying the 6th at face value. Now I see the 4th. Let's straighten this out.

Someone in the campaign is doing their homework right now and will get the clear version to Ron. Wait it out. If shit hits the fan, I'll post the Iowa GOP's #.

I just called them (515) 282-8105 Iowa Repulicans.

I told them the news is out, the Dr. Paul supporters now know whats going on, and I also explained to Carolyn rep. of the Iowa Republicans that it would be a mistake not to include him.

Did they confirm that Ron is excluded?

She Explained, "that we will see what happens at the end of November", translation YES Dr. Paul can be excluded according to their polls.

Let the campaign handle it, they'll ask if they

need blowback, in the meantime Paul can run some ads from that newfound goldmine in Iowa, which he seems to be neglecting a bit.

A press release that details the rules as set by Hoffman (in charge of Iowa GOP) and Faux News has been sent out, but I haven't located it yet.

Anyone here found it?

This makes it plain to see the truth.

During my trips to Iowa, I have been very surprised at the apathy I found in Iowans, generally speaking. They don't give a hoot about politics and they have no clue who is running for the GOP nomination. Hell, they have to be paid, fed, entertained and diven to the straw poll (when there are countries where people have to dodge bullets to vote).

I found that odd because I was brainwashed into thinking that the Iowa Caucus was such an important political event because Iowans are middle-America with middle American political views and fervor.

Instead, it's a rigged dog and pony show, like everything else in this bought and paid for monopoly haven of a country.

We have the numbers already to win their stupid Caucus, but I emphatically believe they will fix the results with Diebold machines.

I would love to see a credible exit poll strategy in place. Short of that, kiss Iowa goodbye, IMO.

I'm personally sick to death of these lazy, fat, pussified, owned jackasses hijacking my country and so adversely affecting my life. I've made the trip to Iowa twice so far, I'll gladly make it again and again. If we can get 10,000 supporters there, count me IN.

Bosso

I live in Nebraska and the people here in the Midwest are complete idiots. Seriously, there is no shortage of idiocy.

 

[Korey Kaczynski]

My friend in Iowa forwarded me the email. He's a Rudy supporter, and was gloating the Ron Paul isn't going to be in the next debate.

And you're friends with parasites? Why?

She Explained, "that we will see what happens at the end of November", translation YES Dr. Paul can be excluded according to their polls.

But she did not confirm the 5% or that Dr. Paul is excluded right?

Nothing personal, but I don't want a translation. I want the facts. Before someone here does something stupid like organize some act of mass civil disobedience over nothing.

The downside of a grassroots this active, is that our energy can be used against us by feeding us bad information which will spread quickly.

We have to be calm, and cool like Dr. Paul. If he's excluded, he's excluded and we'll take the necessary steps then. If he's not excluded, get your butts back to work campaigning.

"Can be" ... I will get mad about it once it's official...
All the fuss about nothing but rumors and pessimism...

I was very cordial when speaking to the Iowa rep. Again I am confirming that there is the possibility that Dr. Paul can be excluded citing Fox news polls at the end of November. We need 5% or more.

The only way we can settle this is if we hear direct from Dr. Paul's HQ that he was invited.

She confirmed it to me. She said the rules were decided by Hoffman (head of Iowa GOP) and Faux News.

She read the press release, I was not fast enough to take it all down, sorry. She said which polls, I did hear national telephone polls (did not catch which ones), also she said something about ARG and Des Moines Register polling.

But yes, the 5% level is in the press release that was read to me.

I have searched the Iowa GOP website, but there is not a copy of this press release there that I can find.

i think it would be a good thing if he stayed excluded and did an appearance on a high profile tv show that evening... blitzed the debate w/ commercials... on down the line.

Its still too early, from what I understand Dr. Paul is not excluded YET. We need to bring up our Poll numbers.
