[FairfieldLife] Ron Paul
Fox News and the Republican Party of Iowa are refusing to allow Ron Paul to join the Iowa debate in early december. They claim he does not have a 5% name recognition on telephone polls. Good excuse to keep him out. None of the other candidates have raised over $4 million in one day as he did on nov. 5, 2007. Republican Party of Iowa: To host presidential debate in Des Moines Contact: Mary Tiffany (515) 282-8105 Debate to be nationally televised by FOX NEWS CHANNEL The Republican Party of Iowa announced today that it will hold its presidential debate at Hy-Vee Hall in downtown Des Moines. The event, to be held the evening of December 4, 2007, will be the first debate in Iowa to be televised by FOX News Channel this election season, as well as the first debate sponsored by the Republican Party of Iowa. Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Ray Hoffmann said, With the caucuses less than a month away, our December 4 debate will be very telling to Iowans and the nation. We are thrilled to be having this event in central Iowa, and right in downtown Des Moines which will be the epicenter on caucus night. What I am doing is sending Mr. Hoffman an email, ([EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ) and letting him know that if Ron Paul is not onthe debate that I will vote for the WICKED BITCH. Ray Hoffmann, Chairman Sioux City Dear Mr. Hoffman, I wanted to let you and all of the IOWA folks know that my wife and I are in our early 80s and have always voted Republican. I am letting you know that if you try this criteria garbage whose sole purpose is to eliminate Ron Paul from the debate in December, my wife and I and over 10+ family members have decided that we will not only vote for the WICKED BITCH OF THE EAST come 2008, but send her $500 on top of that. But if you insist on a criteria then it should be on those candidates that have not raised over $4 million dollars in a single day, of which my family did their part. I am a WWII and Korean veteran. Capiche! Robert and Gloria Beckett and family. The debate will be limited to those candidates who have satisfied the following criteria: 1. Announced a formal campaign for President: and 2. Filed the necessary paperwork with the Federal Election Commission; and 3. Met all U.S. constitutional requirements; and 4. Garnered at least 5% of the national electorate as determined by an average of the most recent national telephone polls of registered voters conducted by non-partisan public opinion polling organizations leading up to the registration deadline as determined by Fox News Channel and the Republican Party of Iowa or garnered an average of at least 5% in the most recent polls of Iowa voters conducted by the American Research Group and the Des Moines Register. AND THIS JUST HAPPENS TO COME OUT THE EXACT DAY THAT RON PAUL HAS MADE HISTORY BY RAISING MORE MONEY IN ONE DAY THAN ANY OTHER CANDIDATE!!! !! THEY KNOW THAT RON PAUL DOESN'T REGISTER IN THESE BOGUS NATIONAL PHONE POLLS AND THUS GIVES THEM A PLAUSIBLE REASON TO EXCLUDE HIM FROM THE DEBATE EVEN IN THE FACE OF SUCH OUTSTANDING SUPPORT THAT WAS EVIDENT TODAY!!! WE ALL MUST DO SOMETHING!!! !!

[FairfieldLife] Ron Paul Takes a Stand in Iowa by weyrich
Ron Paul Takes a Stand in Iowa Wednesday, Aug. 22, 2007 Throughout the years I have received comments in support of Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas. If he makes a major speech, casts a lone vote, or is running for re-election, no other political figure has continued to have a lasting following more than this unique congressman from Texas. A regular reader of this commentary asked me to explain why Paul has continued to have a following which exceeds that of some of the front- running candidates in the Ames Iowa straw poll. Inasmuch as the enquirer asked his question the week before the Iowa straw poll, I thought it fair to offer a few comments about Ron Paul, who received very little attention from the national media. Indeed, Paul received some 9 percent-10 percent of the vote. But my dear friend from the neighboring state of Wisconsin, former Gov. Tommy Thompson, put all he had into the poll, and he didn't do as well, causing him to withdraw as a presidential candidate. And there was Mayor Rudolph (Rudy) Giuliani, the crime fighter from New York, and former Sen. Fred D. Thompson, the apparent darling of the conservatives, and others who didn't even bother to set foot in Iowa, who also ended up with no base in Iowa. And yet here was good old Ron Paul, lumbering along, whom no one expected to win, place or show, who yet managed to survive the politics of an important bellwether state, surviving to fight another day. The question is why and that is what Pitts and other readers want to know. First, Ron Paul is different and that in and of itself draws a certain amount of support. Second, Ron Paul is a consistent follower of the Constitution, of whom there are few. Third, Ron Paul represents an authentic point of view, once articulated by the late Sen. Robert A. Taft, R-Ohio, and he sticks with it. Take one of the early debates when Paul nearly got ousted from the whole process. Ron Paul said we are under attack in the Middle East because we have meddled in that area ourselves. He paraphrased the late Sen. Taft by saying we should not be involved in wars initiated by other nations. Mayor Rudy said he had heard many silly things down through the years as to why we are involved in the Middle East but this one tops them all. By articulating the authentic Taft view, Ron Paul was nearly ousted from further debates. In fact, the Michigan State GOP chairman is attempting to bar independents from voting in the Michigan Republican primary. That would preclude the following that Ron Paul has among independent voters in Michigan from so voting. It likely would preclude Ron Paul from getting any Michigan votes in the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis in early September of 2008. That is the most reprehensible of all of the moves against Ron Paul. If he has a small national following, as apparently he does, so be it. But he alone is willing to challenge the interests which have come to dominate the Republican Party in recent years. Accordingly, Ron Paul has stood alone in recent years in following President George Washington's advice never to meddle in foreign affairs. Taft took up Washington's cause and paid dearly for it. Now only Ron Paul defends what may be termed the authentic Washington Taft point of view. On the other hand, I never have understood Rep. Paul's many votes against our defense system. Some votes against the defense establishment in this country, yes, but to vote against defending America I cannot understand. The Constitution explicitly delegates the federal government the power to defend our country. To vote against some military programs, sure, but all of them? There must be reasonableness and responsibility.
[FairfieldLife] re:jean klein and Ron Paul
I really enjoyed reading the stuff from Jean Klein. Thanks for posting that. On a more mundane note: I have followed Ron PAul's political life thru his brother Wayne Paul who has been my accountant for the past 12 or 13 years. I would love to see him get elected. There is a big groundswell moving for him. If you are not familiar with him know this: the establishment of republicans hate him because he is scary to them. He would upset the power structure and overturn the applecart. If he becomes more prominent there could be an attempt to assassinate him. He would be great for America. Check him out if you have not as yet at www.ronpaul2008.com May be in FF in mid to late july. I will stop by the wed. evening group if it is still ongoing steve tomandcindytraynoratfairfieldlis
