The Official Ames Straw Poll Thread

I just asked Frank Luntz what the spin would be if Ron wins first or second. Straw poll doesn't matter is he d He said,

Did you tell him he doesn't matter? Or. Why are you here at this meaningless event?
 
Just as Ron heads to stage Twitter says Huck is about to go on stage in Bachmann's tent.

Also, twitter is saying Bachmann has handed out 4000 tickets. meanwhile Pawlenty makes people sign a PLEDGE to vote for him to get on his buses.
 
I'm looking online for one of those red T-shirts...where are they?...i want one, or 2 0r...
 
'Life preceeds liberty...I'm here to protect life and I mean all life.'

Story contrasting an abortion with a premature birth. 'All life is precious.'

Life and liberty don't come from government, it comes from our Creator.

There are many ways you can protect liberty... One of the most atrocious positions this country can have is taking money from pro life people and funding abortions with it.

'I also think it's being strongly pro life if when those babies come to age they are never required to fight in unwinnable wars.'

'The PATRIOT Act is an attack on our liberties and the fourth amendment. It does not solve the problems it was designed to solve. You cannot defend liberty by taking liberties from the American people.'

'You never have to give up liberties to be safe.'

'We're into wars that are costing us trillions of dollars. Those trillions of dollars should have been left in the economy to create jobs and prosperity at home.'

'Today one half of the Christians have been run out of Iraq. The Iraqis are closer to Iran than they have ever been.'

'In order to attract investments and capital into a country you have to have a strong currency.'

'There's nothing wrong with reinstating the Constitution because it's still on the books that only gold and silver can be legal tender.'

'It would be a good idea to give serious consideration to putting an end to the income tax...'

'We need a lot less regulation not more regulations.'

'We don't need to be bailing out the big banks and the big corporations, dumping the debt on the economy, causing the little guy to lose his mortgage and lose his house.'

'We have lost our enthusiasm for freedom.'

'It's time we restored freedom to America.'

'We need to defend our borders and forget about the borders in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It's time to bring the troops home.'

'All we have to do is restore the belief in freedom, restore the confidence that the Constitution works.'

I have been to 4 #iastrawpoll events and never seen a line as long as Bachmann's.

Was there ever a group shot of Ron's tent?
