Awesome :). Ron will be the first candidate to speak if I remember correctly.

[UtahApocalypse]

[freeforall]

Thank you!

[PreDeadMan]

Is this going to be a debate?

[Bosco Warden]

This is awesome, I just tuned in and they are talking about having a private housing option available (competition) to fannie and freddie mortgages, and is it viable. this is awesome. This is a direct result from Ron Pauls assault on the system. unbelievable.

[bluesc]

what event will this be?

Reagan dinner in Iowa.

[PreDeadMan]

will there be debating going on between the candidates? or is it just a post mortem dinner with people remembering.... that guy lol

[trey4sports]

Isn't this just going to be a replay? I tuned in the night of the event only to be let down that CSPAN2 was not covering it at the time.

[PreDeadMan]

[phill4paul]

"Voter registration for R is up, D is down"

Blue Republicans? Can only hope.

In my local I have made more in-roads with them and lesbian/gays (Amendment One, N.C.) than I have with the Neoheads.

[Patrick Henry]

wow does this stink. Bring on Paul! lol

[anewvoice]

wow does this stink. Bring on Paul! lol

Blah blah blah, I'm status quo. bring out Ron Paul!

[pacelli]

The footer at the bottom of the screen states that Ron Paul will be live at 8:35pm ET.

Just pulled up the stream. Thanks!

[Feeding the Abscess]

That "we need more business people running government" quote they attributed to Ron (which wasn't in his own words, mind you) sounds nothing like what Ron would say.

[Patrick Henry]

I thought the same thing.

That "we need more business people running government" quote they attributed to Ron (which wasn't in his own words, mind you) sounds nothing like what Ron would say.

[zerosdontcount]

Ron Paul on next

[GunnyFreedom]

Why is Iowa special? Because they cry and whine until they get treated that way. Any other state being first would get the same retail politic treatment.

#1 producer of renewable fuel and corn is not a positive, it's a negative. Corn subsidies are killing the country, and Iowa don't care. Oppose corn and energy subsidies and you lose Iowa. The mere existence of Iowa is one of the things that's destroying our nation, and Iowa don't care. So long as they keep getting their damn subsidies then the rest of America can go straight to hell. :mad: /rant

[bluesc]

I never heard it before. They pushed Perry with some bullshit about Texas cuts, and use a potentially made up quote from Ron that essentially pushes Cain.

[Feeding the Abscess]

I never heard it before. They pushed Perry with some bullshit about Texas cuts, and use a potentially made up quote from Ron that essentially pushes Cain.

If Ron ever said such a thing, it was in jest. He's made numerous arguments about how government should not be run like a business.

Can't wait to leave this stupid party after Ron either leaves Congress or the White House.

[Patrick Henry]

This guy is something else.

[COpatriot]

Rand with the introduction.

[RDM]

That Navy veteran he is talking about is voting for Cain. Saw it on interview on CNN earlier today.

[bluesc]

Rand introducing! Sweet.

[Patrick Henry]

Nice Rand!

I'd plus rep but I'm gonna have to spread some around.

[phill4paul]

Rand on now.

[HOLLYWOOD]

GAME ON... Rand intro

5 second music intro lol!

[pacelli]

And Ron is on.

[HOLLYWOOD]

There we go...

AND AH...

AND DAH...

UuuuuuH...

ANNNNNNND...

[phill4paul]

He has a favourable crowd.

[GunnyFreedom]

He has a favourable crowd.

The British are coming!
The British are coming!

:D

[Patrick Henry]

not bad

[pauliticalfan]

Why did they show the only person not clapping at the end? Not cool.

[phill4paul]

Short. MUCH better reception than he would have gotten last primary. Slowly isn't surely enough for me.

[RDM]

Now its Time for the Neo-Con Presentation

[HOLLYWOOD]

Ron is still not linking how all this personally effects each citizen. Decline in you & your family's standard of living, Inflation/Less money in YOUR pocket/Less Savings to retire, loss of Rights, Freedoms, Liberty, POLICE STATE molested at airports, planet earth protesting against the Drones, spying, No rights...

Fucking Fascistic Chuck Grassley Sleeping @ his table?

[bluesc]

Great speech.

I don't know why C-SPAN felt the need to zoom in the only miserable looking idiots that didn't applause at the end, but whatever.

[COpatriot]

Perry is such a dolt.

[pauliticalfan]

Ron sounds like a genius next to Rick Perry.

"You can't win the future...by selling the future."

No shit, Rick!!!

[GunnyFreedom]

More theft of Ron Paul's talking points

[phill4paul]

I'm gonna have to bow out at this point. Fuck these other candidates are idiots.

[phill4paul]

Frikken Perry gives speeches like Bush on crack.

[GunnyFreedom]

I'm gonna have to bow out at this point. Fuck these other candidates are idiots.

This. I can't listen to this garbage...

[HOLLYWOOD]

Next generation of Young American workers...

Reform entitle programs...

Current tax system is fundamentally flawed...

Breakup the Washington Establishment...


Rick Perry Stealing More of Ron's Policies/Points



CROWD DEMOGRAPHIC: middle-aged to elderly

[RDM]

Perry: Time to not vote for status quo

I guess that means you bud.

[HOLLYWOOD]

Look's like Bachmann got a new round of BOTOX and COLLAGEN injections into that mug. 55yo, not a wrinkle on her face.

[RDM]

Thanks Bachmann for the Ron plug.

[Feeding the Abscess]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Bachmann defending Bush's spending record

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[COpatriot]

Perry sounded almost brain-dead and Bachmann sounds like a kindergarten teacher.

[Rocco]

Tube for those of us who missed it?

[phill4paul]

Thanks Bachmann for the Ron plug.

She really should just bow out and support him.

[Feeding the Abscess]

I wouldn't be surprised to see someone pull out a revolver and blow their own brains out after listening to this shrill ignoramus.

[HOLLYWOOD]

man, now she's pandering her residency of Iowa and Holy Churck time... but no mention of devoted war overseas..

Bachmann... NO COMPRISE... just like when she was a IRS prosecutor. HYPOCRITE

[RDM]

Did Ron just put a wig on and a dress and get up and speak again?

[HOLLYWOOD]

WTF? What's with the Santorum commercial crap? I hope that cut into his 11 minutes allotted?

wow Frothy was in all 99 counties and spent 8 straight days campaigning in Iowa... IMPRESSIVE

Ron should get his Campaign Tour Bus on the roads of IOWA

[COpatriot]

Here comes Frothy Mixture to patronize the American Taliban wing of the Republican Party.

[phill4paul]

There's a Santorum ad. Perfectly positioned before his speech. Where was Ron's?

[bluesc]

Thanks Bachmann for the Ron plug.

What did she say?

[GeorgiaAvenger]

Thanks Bachmann for the Ron plug.
Quote?

[RDM]

There's a Santorum ad. Perfectly positioned before his speech. Where was Ron's?

Ron used Rand in a live commercial intro.

[harikaried]

I think everyone gets an intro video as they walk to the stage. Ron Paul had Rand speak while the others are using commercials (which I'm assuming they're playing in Iowa anyway).

[phill4paul]

Ron used Rand in a live commercial intro.

ah. OK. Thanks.

[COpatriot]

Hey Frothy, if you're so "pro-life" and supportive of strong families, then why are you so eager to send people's parents and children overseas to get shot at?

[RDM]

What did she say?

She said Ron Paul was right about the devastating debt of 15 Trillion that Ron had mentioned when he was speaking. That was paraphrased.

[Bruno]

She said Ron Paul was right about the devastating debt of 15 Trillion that Ron had mentioned when he was speaking. That was paraphrased.

She had to, he stole her thunder before she could steal it from him! :D

[trey4sports]

Ron's speech was absolutely epic. i mean, damn.

[Bruno]

Why did they show the only person not clapping at the end? Not cool.

Because I believe that was Senator Grassley and he also had his back to Ron Paul, ignoring his speech. A very rude, unprofessional, disrespectful move on his part. I bet he would give any Democrat more respect than he gave Ron Paul.

I'll be calling his office as an Iowan to say how rude I thought that was and asking him to issue an apology.

[ronnilingus]

is there video up yet of this?

[COpatriot]

Here comes the warmongering!

OOHHH! And he just plugged Israel and the 12th Imam!

NEED MOAR WAR!!!

[RDM]

Now the pro war speech.

[phill4paul]

Santorum focused like a laser beam...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh7bYNAHXxw

[harikaried]

Santorum wants a President that tells the public the truth? Well...

No intro video for Gingrich?

[Bruno]

Matt Strawn, who spoke before Ron, was the man who said he didn't know how to read poll results, when he ignored Ron Paul's win at the Ames Straw Poll.

[Bruno]

Ron Paul is correct, shout out by Newt!!

Now he's going through his opposition.

[COpatriot]

Gingrich plugs Paul. Ron seems to be pretty popular tonight.

[HOLLYWOOD]

on economics...

the truth on Iran...

Santorum is a piece of shit

Newt getting a good applause on intro

Grassley was the big pusher to screw people on his bankruptcy act of 2005. Grassley, thinking to himself... why do I have to be here with these peasants get me back to my empire in Washington DC.


NEWT~!!!!! KUDOS for the Ron Paul plug... and guess what... Newt Linked a sound dollar to gold and that in 20 years your dollar is still worth a dollar!


NEWT linked nicely... but give Santorum a flak jacket and a AR-15 and ship him off to Afghanistan,or the other 6 countries we are waring in.

[harikaried]

Is Gingrich going to say something that he has done best now going through each of those candidates?

[phill4paul]

Now the pro war speech.

You should have heard Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, 1st District on CSPAN earlier. Every neurotic neo tic nuanced into one speech. He even called Ron Paul out as the only primary candidate that didn't understand Iran was a "grave" danger...

<<SQUIRREL>>> Did Newt just give Ron props...ahhh...pandering to all. NVM.

[bluesc]

Ron is the frontrunner. Everyone plugs him, people wait for his lead and steal his ideas, run to shake his hand, ect.

[COpatriot]

I guess Newt wanted to compliment everybody. Paul for monetary policy, Bachmann for whatever, and Santorum for being pro-war.

[phill4paul]

Ron is the frontrunner. Everyone plugs him, people wait for his lead and steal his ideas, run to shake his hand, ect.

Quite you. People might vote for him.

[bluesc]

Newt plays the nice guy who says "No infighting, we need to be united!", the the mature experienced one, the diplomat, is probably the image he's aiming for.

[RDM]

Gingrich probably just earned a 5% bump for the laugh on studying American history.

[RDM]

Looks like Mitt's economic plan is next.

[phill4paul]

Newt plays the nice guy who says "No infighting, we need to be united!", the the mature experienced one, the diplomat, is probably the image he's aiming for.

He's doing a great job of it. If I were a political ignorant then I would think he should be the next president. He is one smooth operator.

[harikaried]

Looks like Mitt's economic plan is next.Short summary, cut spending by $500 billion over 4 years. Changes to how Medicare works.

[RDM]

He's doing a great job of it. If I were a political ignorant then I would think he should be the next president. He is one smooth operator.

Yeah, he could sale manure to a horse ranch.

[Miss Annie]

He's doing a great job of it. If I were a political ignorant then I would think he should be the next president. He is one smooth operator.

Yea he definitely is. It is pretty smooth what he said about doing all of the debates with Obama and having the White House be his scheduler! He is going to play on how bad people want Obama to lose.

[COpatriot]

My personal song for Rick Santorum:

Why is Iowa special? Because they cry and whine until they get treated that way. Any other state being first would get the same retail politic treatment.

LOTS of elderly people

WTF is this with C-SPAN? "The After Dinner/Speech Party with Rick Santorum"

Where the hell is Ron?

Who's the dude with NEWT running surveillance and recon watching everyone and writing down stuff.

Good question where is Ron?

The guy with Newt is probably a assistant taking notes of people's request which is smart. He would be like Ron's Benton which is what he should be doing.

[trey4sports]

Why does Rick keep calling that old lady a master baker? Is he trying to be inappropriately funny?

[HOLLYWOOD]

Good question where is Ron?

The guy with Newt is probably a assistant taking notes of people's request which is smart. He would be like Ron's Benton which is what he should be doing.This is halarious... Ron Blacks himself Out of not only meeting all the people that paid and attended, but also 30 minutes of free planet wide C-SPAN video and audio coverage.

[bluesc]

This is halarious... Ron Blacks himself Out of not only meeting all the people that paid and attended, but also 30 minutes of free planet wide C-SPAN video and audio coverage.

He's probably meeting fans that came from all over to see him. He's not welcome in a room full of insiders, I repeat, he is not welcome there.

Stop bitching. He loves his fans.

[Qdog]

Did I miss Ron's speech?

[phill4paul]

Did I miss Ron's speech?

Yes.

[pacelli]

Have you ever thought that maybe Ron is eating dinner? Not trying to be indignant, I'm just saying.. the man has to eat some time.

[phill4paul]

F*ck even Mitt now parroting Paul. LOL how far we have come. And how the American people are being deceived by the imposters.

[RDM]

Have you ever thought that maybe Ron is eating dinner? Not trying to be indignant, I'm just saying.. the man has to eat some time.

He was eating before before his speech. You didn't see that?

[HOLLYWOOD]

He's probably meeting fans that came from all over to see him. He's not welcome in a room full of insiders, I repeat, he is not welcome there.

Stop bitching. He loves his fans.I'm not bitching... and that entire crowd from the Iowa dinner are insiders that don't welcome Ron Paul? Is that what it said on the tickets to the dinner? Not one Ron Paul supporter at the dinner? Really? It's called FREE TV coverage . Yeah, I know the same 10% is waiting for him outside... so I presume no more blackout fundraisers are needed with all the coverage ron receieves.

well I'd give up a meal for about 1 hour to receive free television coverage.. though it is difficult to give up food for 1 hour.

[Miss Annie]

Ron Paul does not strike me as a social butterfly. But he should not have to be, he should be able to be elected on principle and policy.

[phill4paul]

Fuck these individuals are even chanting 999. we're fooked.

[pauliticalfan]

Cain's speaking at a totally different event, this isn't even live.

[phill4paul]

Cain's speaking at a totally different event, this isn't even live.

I do realize this. I should have shut off the channel awhile ago but....

Time for some music before I blow a gasket...

You also bitch about him not having perfect speaking skills.

He had some fans there, maybe he was meeting them elsewhere? Maybe C-SPAN intentionally didn't focus on him? Maybe C-SPAN were focusing on the insider only section?

Don't be so quick to assume he is blacking himself out.

[cucucachu0000]

Any tubes of this?

[HOLLYWOOD]

You also bitch about him not having perfect speaking skills.. Anyone who's taken public speaking classes immediately recognizes this handicap and it should be corrected. Command of the english langauge and speaking skills are paramount for politician in communicating a message to a crowd, especially of he's trying to inform the unknowing public.

It's a fault that should be corrected immediately because there's no need for it and distracts from emphasis in the message.

The cameras from C-SPAN did cover the room numerous times... Ron Paul was nowhere to be found. I recorded it and reviewed it. I will be on again for those who missed it at 12 midnight EST 9PM PST on C-SPAN.

[Bruno]

Why does Rick keep calling that old lady a master baker? Is he trying to be inappropriately funny?

I was thinking the exact same thing. Like, get it? Sounds like "masterbater"?

Ron has a command of the language, what are you talking about? He has never been the sharpest speaker. So what? The other candidates have entire speeches prepared for them, or they just revert to talking points. Ron speaks truth, he speaks about what is important, he speaks with substance. He has a grasp of the issues that no one else does.

Romney sweats like a motherfucker while bouncing all over the place
Perry either sounds like a coke head or a sedated fool
Bachmann and Cain repeat the same few lines over and over like they are speaking to a 6-year-old

What do they all have in common? They have all been a "frontrunner" at one point.

Bush was the President dammit.

Does he need to slow down? Yes. Do you have to bitch about it every time he gives a speech or speaks at a debate? No.
