"Ron Paul Excluded in Iowa"

[DjLoTi]

You know, they say we're only the internet. But they fail to mention the internet is the most powerful tool of information beyond anything else in technology or time. We are all proving so.

 

[lucky]

Damn. I can't find his office address again but give me time.

Internet is sooooooooooooooo cool.

 

[hambone1982]

Damn. I can't find his office address again but give me time.

Internet is sooooooooooooooo cool.

Agreed. So powerful - its like a handicap in golf - now we're able to compete with the big boys ;-)

 

[lucky]

I like what I found. Shows he is a big Bushie:

DALLAS - (KRT) - Ed Failor, the Republican ground operative who is trying to help win Iowa for President Bush, was more focused on keeping up with early mail ballots than watching last week's presidential debate.

That's because elections officials have already distributed more than 200,000 ballots to Iowa voters.

"The voting started a week before the debate," Failor said.
...
Failor, the executive director of the Republican Victory `04 campaign in Iowa, said it was important to approach the party's early voting campaign as aggressively as its regular get-out-the-vote effort.

"We have to closely monitor our people and get them out to vote," he said.

 

[lucky]

Edward Failor, Sr. 2610 Park Ave. Muscatine, IA 52761 563-288-3600

This is supposed to be the registered address he and his son uses as a business. Lobbyists have to register in that state.

 

[yongrel]

oi!

as irritated as I am by all this, I have to say...

this is really a kick!

 

[mdh]

I have.... a huge rack.

 

[mdh]

of back ribs on my grill.

 

[yongrel]

and incidentally, this is a great way to contact the newspapers.

http://www.imwithfred.com/WriteLettersForm.aspx?z=Des+Moines-Ames,+IA

just use this to send a general message to all of the newspapers in Iowa, and nationally. To my knowledge, it doesn't attach any Fred Thompson tags to your message.

 

[lucky]

Strange the Iowa Christion alliance that Sheffler belongs to also has the same address as Failors office.
2610 Park Ave. Muscatine, IA 52761 563-288-3600

 

[ARealConservative]

Strange the Iowa Christion alliance that Sheffler belongs to also has the same address as Failors office.
2610 Park Ave. Muscatine, IA 52761 563-288-3600

I wish I knew that. 2610 Park Ave is where I went today to talk to Mr Failure. I thought the other group was in Des Moines.

 

[austin356]

holy crap......... I go to fix some dinner and come back and 25 pages?

Damn, we have more passionate support than all other GOP candidates combined.

 

[lucky]

Interesting to find this. Two other members have come out for Huckabee. Now the same organization that Sheffler belongs to is excluding Ron Paul.

[anewvoice]

Let's just keep thing going everyday until they invite someone new. Most credible candidates? Every DAY!!!

Ed Failor, of Iowans for Tax Relief, just called back (when I left a message, I described myself as a writer looking for an on-the-record statement). I didn't expect any such return call, of course. His answer was that when they planned this event months ago, they determined who would be the most credible candidates and then proceeded with the arrangements on that basis.

I didn't quite understand his answer. I asked, "You thought Tommy Thompson was a more credible candidate than Ron Paul?"

He refused to answer that or any other question I posed to him, and closed with, "That is the only statement I am willing to make." Maybe someone else will have better luck: 563-288-3600 or 877-913-3600.

http://iowapolitics.com/index.iml?Article=96075

Huckabee moved ahead of McCain in an Iowa poll today!

 

[lucky]

Yes

I wish I knew that. 2610 Park Ave is where I went today to talk to Mr Failure. I thought the other group was in Des Moines.

Interesting indeed. I did a google search of that address and it showed the business there at that address and of course Failors and the Tax relief group there and then I saw the Christian alliance also with the Sheffler guy.

In the email I got from Ron Paul HDQ's they had a different address. Maybe the Christian alliance used to be out of there and moved but it does show they at least used to be very near to each other.

Wonder what that means?

 

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

Found where Steve Sheffler is tied to Buchannan. Will see who else and get back.

Can anyone reach Buchanan? He supports Ron Paul. Someone get to the campaign to get RP to call Buchanan personally to ask him to throw some weight at this Sheffler guy.

[lucky]

Sometimes researching stuff can be confusing but all these characters seem to be tied together. They also have ties to every politician in the past that has come through Iowa looking to be President.

It seems but I may be wrong but the FIX may be in.

 

[lucky]

I need a aspiran for the headache and a shower to wash off the slime after all this.
