NEWTON, Iowa -- As they waited for a bus dubbed the "Constitution Coach" to pick them up at the Des Moines airport and bring them to their makeshift lodgings late Tuesday, about two-dozen college-aged Ron Paul volunteers mingled in the cold night air.
The sudden appearance of a reporter's notebook and tape recorder drew comments befitting a group of young people who proudly wear their skepticism on their sleeves.
"What's the article you're going to be writing, man?"
"Yeah, what's the spin, bro?"
Asked where they had flown in from, the answers ranged from California to Virginia -- with one twenty-something purporting to have made the trip from Brazil to help Paul win the Iowa caucuses on Tuesday.
Unsure of what exactly they would be assigned to do, the eager foot soldiers who had signed up online and paid their own way here said they were prepared to phone-bank, knock on doors, speak at caucus precincts, or do basically anything that is asked of them.
When a volunteer noted that he was not authorized to speak to the media, one of his new friends quickly corrected him. "No, you can," he said. "You haven't signed anything yet."
Members of the group confirmed that they were told by the campaign they would have to sign agreements that would bar them from talking to reporters....

So what is the campaign trying to hide?

Out of state kids taking advantage of same day voter registration?
So true
So people from not Iowa are coming to the caucus,
so people are signing forms saying they wont talk to reporters
so how is it that Paul is somehow a superior candidate....he is demanding loyalty oaths, and paying people to vote for him? Weird, just weird.
Not without a good quality fake ID
Thats what Im thinking.
They’re desperate enough.
And we will have law enforcement on site or very close. Will be looking for this crap
They just don’t want these kids saying stupid stuff to the media. After all, that’s the candidates job.
Legalize pot...f**k Israel...that’s all they hear.
“They just dont want these kids saying stupid stuff to the media.”
BINGO. RP knows they are not really Republicans but mental asylum escapees.
Happy New Year, Boss!
I imagine these young Ron Paul supporters are black and come from the South side of Chicago, transported in busses. Oh, and they are oh so sincerely supporters of Ron Paul even though they may misspell his name - something like Rhon Pawl, maybe J’Ron Pawl, or Ron Rashid Paul.
First thread with a 2012 date... nice...
Aren’t they the occupy communists?
Does that mean I get to leave with the Mayans?
I imagine your black.
I wish I were there and had the tin foil concession stands in place.
