The speech was incredible. I hope people were paying attention.

 

[Jingles]

WHOA! He definitely gave an amazing speech today! SO PUMPED!

 

[KramerDSP]

Oh the hot air guy?

Yep.

Paul rocked the house with his speech. He was absolutely fabulous !!!!

 

[libertybrewcity]

WTF? Was someone waving a Mexican flag at the end of Ron's speech?

 

[KingRobbStark]

Is there s tube of the speech?

 

[acptulsa]

Now that was a speech.

Straight from abortion to war, and all under the sanctity of life. Positive patriotism about how freedom will fix the economy--we don't need government, we need government out of the way. Awesome!

 

[Feeding the Abscess]

Figures.

He didn't hit his stride until after that, so it may be for the better.

Did you tell him he doesn't matter? Or. Why are you here at this meaningless event?

Did my edit update?

Mexicans for Ron Paul? I thought I was the only member of the group.

I like how Ron is mentioning that the troops should be brought home to spend their money here. I think that helps boost his arguments for bringing the troops home.

It's a bit Keynesian, but it makes more sense than keeping our troops overseas where they'll support other economies.

Whats a Mexican flag doing in Ames?

 

[ItsTime]

how long until the tube is up?

 

[messana]

Thought the speech was alright. Could have been more consistent.

 

[runningdiz]

I mentioned over and over again that we needed to raise more money if we wanted to win Ames.

We still may win it, but if we don't then at least I can say I spoke up (even if I was banned for it).

"If we wanted to win Ames" I think your tone and choice of the past-tense says it all about your attitude.

[libertygrl]

That was AWESOME! He did a great job of showing how these issues are all interrelated. Please make the right choice today Iowans!
