The Official Ames Straw Poll Thread

[libertybrewcity]

can't listen to perry..

 

[TheTyke]

I had to mute it, the pandering was so bad. Disappointed that Erickson sold his soul when Perry bid high enough. Pathetic...

Yeah, but I'm betting Ron's will vote for him. Bachmann's PROBABLY will....

 

[Aldanga]

Oh my word. Perry is so obviously pandering. It's pathetic.

 

[V3n]

Yeah that's my post. Where in there have I said or has it been insinuated by me or in the report that her giving away 6k tickets translates to 6k voters?

You have not - I'm just trying to keep optimistic, and keep people who read it optimistic. No hard feelings.

Is Rick Perry George Bush's nephew or something?

Switching off C-Span onto newsmix. Huckabee just said Ron Paul does better with a larger crowd on Fox.

It may take a little longer to count the votes since write-ins were allowed.

And Rick Perry is so dumb that it takes him TWICE as long to count the votes. They're flying him in from SC, donchaknow.

This has been a fun thread to follow! Godspeed to Dr. Paul and the r3VOLution - I can hardly wait for the results! Well, with Scary Perry on, I think it's a good time to hit a drive through for a corndog! (No idea where that craving came from)

Yeah, I'm going grocery shopping. Thanks for the time-out, Scary Perry.

Bush 2.0

 

[canadian4ronpaul]

i wonder who wrote this for him

 

[Mr Tansill]

rick perry is the "selected" candidate in case ron paul wins. then they can simply dismiss the iowa straw poll as yet another "meaningless" poll and focus on rick perry

EXACTLY...this is 100% correct...

Just look at the calculation of announcing the run today? Every other election, the Ames poll has been touted as an important indicator of the Republican nomination, yet today all of the sudden it's meaningless? I don't think so. This is a calculated move by the establishment.

Expect Sarah Palin to jump in as soon as we vanquish Rick Perry. They will just keep sending forth the "favorites."

I have faith though. It is different this time around. I will vote for Ron Paul NO MATTER WHAT...just like last time when I wrote him in!!!!!!!!

It's crazy that 4 years ago I was listening to Ron Paul Radio waiting for the results and was extremely disappointed coming in 5th. Now I feel like I'll be disappointed if he comes in 2nd.

We've come a long way folks....

 

[Mr Tansill]

HAHA LOL...Scary Perry, I like it.

 

[SimpleName]

Oh my word. Perry is so obviously pandering. It's pathetic.

If they sound like they care too much, they care too little.

couldnt agree more! this time IS different. people are waking up in record numbers. first herman cain was "the man to beat" and now he's finished. then bachmann...we'll see what happens to her within the hour. if she wins-then its an important poll. if she loses, it doesnt matter and rick perry is the new contender. if we beat him, then its palin...and once shes defeated.....WE WIN! i have total faith in the revolution. money cant buy this type of total life changing inspiration and belief in liberty. its worth more than life itself
