This e-wire / report ultimately makes two points:
1. The voting process at the Iowa Straw Poll was a fraud, wrapped in lies. (Whenever those running any kind of an election use police power to hide all the ballots from the people, and then announce results (?) when supposedly (?) only they have seen the ballots – those people are frauds, are acting like Stalin-esque tyrants, and their organization is a fraud.
That award goes in our current drama to the Iowa GOP leadership, namely Ted Sporer, Chuck Laudner, Mary Tiffany, Craig Robinson, and Chairman Ray Hoffman. What they did to Ron Paul and all those who paid $35 to vote in the Iowa Straw Poll, and all those who entered into a contract with them by paying $35 to support the event, is UNCONSCIONABLE!
These KGB/GESTAPO TYPES, groveling before the sinister banking powers in NYC and behind the RNC and the DNC, -- and acting as their enforcers in Iowa -- hid all the EVIDENCE (the ballots) at the Iowa Straw Poll and announced the alleged results based on their assertion alone – which the rest of us are supposed to take and believe on blind faith!
I am joined by already thousands of others in saying: WE DON’T BELIEVE YOU! You hid the evidence! You have hidden the ballots – and now you have had time to switch the ballots! You fronted for crooks, thieves, enemies of America, enemies of honest people everywhere!
The US Supreme Court has ruled twice in the last one hundred years, in U.S v Mosley (1915) and Reynolds v Sims (1964), that our right to vote includes not only the right to cast a ballot, but the right to know that our vote was counted accurately.
There is only one reason to hide the ballots from press, from candidates, and from the people – because those so hiding the ballots want to keep open the option to cheat – to rig the election.
The evidence is the BALLOTS, which should have been kept in public view all day, and counted in the presence of ALL factions, before said ballots leave the public view.
LONGEST DELAY EVER
In 1995, when the “unbelievable” tie occurred between CFR favorites Senator Bob Dole and Senator Phil Graham – the doors were locked for two solid hours after the voting ended.
As I have said for years, only the GOP leadership was behind the locked doors in 1995, and all of them supported either Dole or Graham. The published “results” that year were that Buchanan, who by far got the best reception from the crowd, came in second with about 1950 – but that Dole and Graham “tied” for first place at exactly 2501 to 2501.
MANY people were not buying it, and Robert Novak of CNN suggested the next morning that the straw poll vote had been “cooked.” (By the way, Fred Smart interviewed a person on Saturday who also gave his witness from 1995 that only Dole and Graham people were behind the locked doors in the “counting” room in 1995.)
Our strong suspicion was that Buchanan came in first in 1995, but this result was unpalatable to the Neo-Cons running the GOP in NYC and D.C. So, the Dole and Graham people wanted to place Buchanan in second place, but neither would give way to the other on first place. Thus, the almost impossible tie was agreed upon.
This year of 2007 saw the longest delay EVER – 15 minutes loger than the 1995 delay. In 2007, the Ron Paul year, -- it was 2 hours and 15 minutes before the announcement came from the podium.
THE BEST HUNCH
While we are totally devoid of evidence (the ballots), the best analysis I’ve heard is this: that probably Dr. Paul came in second to Romney who spent hundreds of thousands of $$ to bus in people.
However, this result – Ron Paul coming in second place in the 2007 Iowa Straw Poll -- was totally unpalatable to the Iowa GOP and their NYC masters and D.C. handlers. Such a result would have shown both the GOP at the state and national level, and the 5 Big TV Networks – to be liars and falsifiers of evidence up until the Iowa Straw Poll.
The World Tyranny Ruling Elite needed Paul to appear to finish near the bottom so that they could ignore him completely on the mass media. Therefore, the suspicion is that Ron Paul’s vote was partially stolen and distributed to Huckabee, Brownback, and Romney. (Tancredo would not be helped by the Iowa GOP, despite his neo-con outlook on foreign affairs, because his anti-illegal immigration stance is completely unpalatable to the Ruling Elite in NYC and D.C. who dictate to the Iowa GOP, and all other state GOPs.)
As usual in computer-generated elections – everything came up smelling like roses for the Neo-con wirepullers behind the scenes of both parties.
THE AFFIDAVITS ARE ESSENTIAL! PLEASE HELP!
2. We need the affidavits of 1306+ Iowans who voted at the straw poll for Ron Paul – in order to prove, if such is the case, that the PUBLISHED count which the Iowa GOP announced was not accurate with regard to Ron Paul’s vote. (All who actually voted are welcome to submit affidavits.)
SOME DISTURBING NUMBERS
The comprehensive published “results” will be in a future report in this series -- view them online here:
http://blog.ronpaul2008.com/ron_paul_2008/2007/08/iowa-straw-poll.html
-- but at this point the reader may want to know that the Iowa GOP claims that Romney came in first with 4516 votes, and Ron Paul came in 5th with 1305 votes.
Hear ye! Hear ye! The Ron Paul Campaign has confirmed to callers what was repeated at the event itself -- that the campaign bought and gave away 800 tickets. The “Adopt an Iowan group” (an independent effort) has published that they had collected $22,500 and purchased 643 tickets. (By the way, since the “Adopt and Iowan” page won’t allow you to copy it, I have printed it out to preserve the documentation.)
So now we are being asked to believe that Ron Paul got less votes (1305) than the tickets purchased by the campaign and the “Adopt an Iowan” campaign (totally 1443) – and that NO ONE in Iowa came on their own to pay $35 and vote for Ron Paul !!!!!
The Ron Paul Campaign AND the Adopt an Iowan campaign kept track of who the tickets were given to (I hope). This is enough affidavits to prove that the announced Diebold “count” was wrong. – And we want to find as many other Iowa citizens as possible who paid $35 out of their own pocket to vote – so we can get their affidavits also.
This seems to be a smoking gun. This will be the greatest and most irrefutable proof ever that a Diebold computer was used to rig an election!
We need the affidavits of any Iowan who voted for Ron Paul at the Ames, Iowa Straw Poll. If we succeed – then we will have the proof that the Diebold computers at the Iowa Straw Poll of 2007 – were rigged.
If you voted in the Iowa Straw Poll on August 11, 2007 – and if you need an affidavit to make sure your vote counts, and especially if you want to help us prove whether or not the result published for Ron Paul was accurate – you can go to:
www.votefraud.org/iowa_straw_poll_2007_report_affidavit_part1.htm
At the top and bottom of that article is a link to the relevant affidavit. Simply right click on the link, use “Save target as” and save the word document to your computer where you can find it. You will then have an affidavit to fill out, and get notarized at a bank, Kinkos, etc., and to mail back to us.
A number of affidavits are already in hand.

Police State USA
Last week’s announcement that the terrorist threat warning level has been raised in parts of New York, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. has led to dramatic and unprecedented restrictions on the movements of citizens. Americans wishing to visit the U.S. Capitol must, for example, pass through several checkpoints and submit to police inspection of their cars and persons.
Many Americans support the new security measures because they claim to feel safer when the government issues terror alerts and fills the streets with militarized police forces. As one tourist interviewed this week said, “It makes me feel comfortable to know that everything is being checked.” It is ironic that tourists coming to Washington to celebrate the freedoms embodied in the Declaration of Independence are so eager to give up those freedoms with no questions asked.
Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens’ lives. This doesn’t stop governments, including our own, from seeking more control over and intrusion into our lives. As one Member of Congress stated to the press last week, “people who don’t want to be searched don’t need to come on Capitol grounds.” What an insult! The Capitol belongs to the American people who pay for it, not to Congress or the police.
It is worth noting that the government rushes first to protect itself, devoting enormous resources to make places like the Capitol grounds safe, while just beyond lies one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the nation. What makes Congress more worthy of protection from terrorists than ordinary citizens?
To understand the nature of our domestic response to the September 11th, 2001 attacks, we must understand the nature of government. Government naturally expands, and any crises- whether real or manufactured- serve to justify more and more government power over our lives. Bureaucrats have used the tragedy of 9-11 as an excuse to seize police powers sought for decades, such as warrantless searches, internet monitoring, and access to bank records. It should be no surprise that the recently released report of the 9-11 Commission has but one central recommendation: bigger government and more spending at home and abroad.
Every new security measure represents another failure of the once-courageous American spirit. The more we change our lives, the more we obsess about terrorism, the more the terrorists have won. As commentator Lew Rockwell of the Ludwig von Mises Institute explains, terrorists in effect have been elevated by our response to 9-11: “They are running the country. They determine our civic life. They shape our private life. They decide how public resources are spent. They may dictate who gets to be the next president. It should be obvious that the government doesn’t object. Not at all. The government benefits, by getting ever more reason for ever more money and power.”
Every generation must resist the temptation to believe that it lives in the most dangerous time in American history. The threat of Islamic terrorism is real, but it is not the greatest danger ever faced by our nation. This is not to dismiss the threat of terrorism, but rather to put it in perspective. Those who seek to whip the nation into a frenzy of fear do a disservice to a country that expelled the British, fought two world wars, and stared down the Soviet empire.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.
Hey! I'm not here to argue with you. I gave my opinion. I even spelled it out quite clearly where I stand in the matter. If reading comprehension is a quality you seem to lack then I apologize. It's not my fault. If you read what I posted and you comprehended what I posted then the answers to your questions have already been given.
Good night!
Worthy, but a bit of a rhetorical leap. Ironically, one can use the 2nd Amendment here as a case for some "statism". As a pragmatic anecdote, can you find four people at the Post Office who have unanimity on a single issue? The Leviathan is bad, but it's incompetent.
1. You're splitting hairs. Paul's answer leaves us two conclusions:
a. He really believes this "and they lived happily ever after" crap, in which case he is mentally deficient.
b. He really is talking about Vietnam and only Vietnam, ignoring the related horrors in Laos and Cambodia. If so, his answer is so weaselish he should have added that it all depends what the meaning of "is" is.
2. There was plenty of slaughter in Vietnam after we left. First there were political executions, and then there were the folks sent to re-education camps, many of whom never came out. Just because it was dwarfed by Cambodia doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Excuse me. . . did someone vote for him???
Yes, and who cares if Al Qaida accomplishes one of its strategic goals?
Kooks, all of them!!
Who is Ron Paul?
Whenever I connect him and Code Pink they accuse me of playing “guilt by association” games, and I just laugh my butt off.
What? 160,000? Why, that almost sounds like a slaughter of civilians! But we can be sure that it isn't a slaughter o civilians, because Ron Paul says no such thing ever happened in 'Nam. Therefore, all's well and as soon as we pull out of Iraq the Al Qaida guys will open flower shops and never think about attacking America again. Now, let's all join hands and sing John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Man, that is about the funniest thing I've ever read! Do you know how moronically foolish you look saying that 160,000 people killed by their government is not a slaughter?
Oh man, Paulism really is a mental disease!
You would not mind "technicalities" if they were called the Bill of Rights, and they protected you from government excesses. The demise of abortion through government has to keep the fabric of civil rights in tact for when any or all of us need recourse to it. And I think your ham-handed legal day-dreaming on a message board earn you no more or no less of a "gold pin" for morality than the rest of us. If anything, they highlight your conceit, not your sincerity, and do not inspire trust in your notion that big government can benevolently wield big power.
I am aware of the number of deaths due to abortion. Can you tell me if and when the appeal to the 14th amendment has been tried in court as an argument against abortion and what the outcome was? Would you support a president rolling out the national guard to close all abortion mills, Supreme Court be damned?
“Looks like they got him again!!”
No, it looks like people are becoming paranoid. Pretty soon, they’ll have to join the DU.
:’D
Thanks, I’ll have to check it later.
It’s good to see Republicans trust each other.
Roast Boeuf and Yorkshore Pudding, Strawberry short cake.
High tea at 4?
Somehow I can't see the tea part, but the rest, visions of you chowing down!
Ah, well, I guess it's hard for him to think with his panties so twisted.
LOL That's a quote from John Kerry's handbook if I ever saw one.
