DES MOINES, IOWA – Drew Ivers, PhD (Iowa State), has been named the Iowa Campaign Chairman for Ron Paul 2008. Dr. Ivers brings a wealth of conservative political and leadership experience to the Paul campaign.
Dr. Ivers is a genetics scholar trained in the Iowa educational system and a Purple Heart honoree for his service in Vietnam. He has been an Iowa Republican party activist for 30 years and is a four-time Republican National Convention delegate. Dr. Ivers is also a two-time Republican State Central Committee member and served on many Iowa campaigns including those of Roger Jepsen, Terry Branstad, Chuck Grassley, and Ronald Reagan. He served as Iowa State Campaign Chairman for Pat Buchanan in 1996 and 2000 and Pat Robertson in 1988 which also led to the creation of the initial Christian Coalition of Iowa (now known as the Iowa Christian Alliance).
“Drew Ivers’ success as Iowa Chairman in three widely-watched Presidential campaigns makes him the perfect choice to help communicate to Iowans that Dr. Paul is staunchly pro-life, pro-taxpayer and a champion of liberty and the Constitution,” said national campaign manager Lew Moore.
“The other Republican candidates are good men," said Dr. Ivers, "but when it comes to a record of fidelity to the Constitutional principles of “Limited Government”, they are still all students compared to Ron Paul. And with 65-70 percent of Americans polled now opposing the War in Iraq, if the Republicans nominate a pro-war Republican they may just as well hand the White House over to Hillary Clinton."
“I relish the thought of a series of national debates between Mrs. Clinton and Dr. Paul and will be pouring my energy into helping Iowa Republicans see the power of his nomination,” continued Ivers.
Dr. Ivers joins Paul Dorr, Iowa Field Director, of Ocheyedan and a host of passionate volunteers in Ron Paul’s campaign.
Actually, Hillary supports the war. This will make it hard for her to attack the Republican nominee on Iraq, because there's not much difference between her and most of the Republican candidates, when it comes to the Iraq war. This means, also, that much of the Democrat base will be disillusioned by Hillary. She could well be the weakest candidate the Democrats could nominate.
Yep, that’s what I would do, jump on board the candidate with 1% of support. Brilliant!
I hear they need more Ronpaulians to post hundreds of times on online polls to get his numbers up. The others keep dropping off from exhaustion and carpel tunnel syndrome.
So did Ivers resign from the Reform Party?
Republican activist? Really!!?
But if he's a "veteran Republican" activist, then why is it that he was the Iowa state chairman of the Buchanan for President 2000 campaign when Buchanan was running under the banner of the Reform Party.
Checking his donation history at the Federal Election Commission website shows that Ivers' only donation made to a federal candidate that is on their radar was $1,000 to Buchanan when he was running in the Reform Party.
Ivers is no Republican activist. He's a turncoat. No wonder he's plugging for turncoat truther nut Ron Paul now.
Woohoo! Nothing can stop Paul now!
a Purple Heart honoree for his service in Vietnam
John Kerry has one also, doesn’t make him a supporter of America.
L Ron Paul and Kerry have many things in common including
supporting the enemy
Success? Buchanan lost twice and Robertson lost once. Those are the 3 campaigns in which Ivers served as state chairman. Ivers has been a FAILURE as a chairman for a presidential campaign.
But since we're talking about Ron Paul's campaign, I guess it DOES make Ivers the "perfect choice." Ivers gets to make it an even 4 losses.
I wonder when Ivers switched his party registration back to Republican after his 2000 membership in the Reform Party. Hmmmm....
How did they do in the Iowa caucuses? I don't remember.
“mommy..make it stop”
In the Iowa caucuses, wasn't Buchanan still running as a Republican? I have to admit I don't remember, but maybe you can help me out.
Does he have a long scraggly beard?
Why is this news?
““I relish the thought of a series of national debates between Mrs. Clinton and Dr. Paul and will be pouring my energy into helping Iowa Republicans see the power of his nomination,” continued Ivers.”
I don’t even know where to start. I guess academics are indeed a bunch of spaced out drug addicts.
“Republican activist? Really!!?”
The media is all about stories of “republicans” that are dissafected right now....and it turns out that many times, these people were never Republicans at all.
Heck, Kerry has three.
Good question, actually. Let's see, shall we?
Iowa 2000 General Election Results:
Gore/Lieberman (Dem) 48.5%
Bush/Cheney (Rep) 48.2%
Nader/Laduke (Grn) 2%
Buchanan/Foster (Ref) .4%
Iowa 1996 Republican Caucus Results:
Bob Dole 26%
Pat Buchanan 23%
Lamar Alexander 18%
Steve Forbes 10%
Iowa 1992 Republican Caucus Results:
George H. W. Bush 100% (Unopposed)
Iowa 1988 Republican Caucus Results:
Bob Dole 37%
Pat Robertson 23%
George Bush 19%
Jack Kemp 11%
So, without a doubt, Ivers is a 3-time loser as Iowa state chairman of a presidential campaign. He's the "perfect choice" for the Paul campaign as they scrape the bottom of the barrel for campaign staffers and supporters.
Looks like this guy’s candidates finished strong second in both ‘88 and ‘96, in the Iowa caucuses. If that’s how Ron Paul does, he’ll be in pretty good shape - considering his low underdog status.
LOL! I can’t wait to see what’s next...
That was a very well laid knock-out punch!
LLS
Ping!
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
You're telling tales out of school
They're all Republicans now.
And they intend to tell Republicans precisely what to do.
Pat Buchanan, Republican stalwart.
Is it any wonder his people would want to sign onto the Revolution.
Do they still carry the pitchforks?
Lt Kerry has three. Did you miss the last election? :>)
I know the numbers except I was being kind mentioning 1
as those 3 were from non injuries, AKA A fake
Loony Tunes Candidate with an intellectual fly weight following.
Short candidate with supporters who went to school on the short bus.
Take your pick. Both are true and valid statements. The guy is a joke.
Most of his following are lefties trying to use him to alter the minds of the right. Isn’t going to happen.
Ron Paul will run as a 3rd party candidate under the Reform Party banner.
‘That was a very well laid knock-out punch!
LLS’
I thought so too....(chuckle)
