AMES: Ron "McLovin" Paul's Stump Speech

Untitled.jpg ** -- the "Ron Paul" shouts of his 200-person long supporter train made it tough for Laura Ingraham to finish her introduction. The Ron Paul Revolution was led by two guys in revolutionary period dress.

Key lines: "Our campaign is all about freedom, prosperity and peace!"

"You cannot have freedom without life. We must preserve all life if we expect to protect the individual liberty of each and every one of us and that means the unborn as well."

"I think 9/11 quite frankly could have been prevented if we had had a lot more respect for the second amendment."

"We were not meant to be the policeman of the world."

"This country is returning to tyranny."

Biggest applause line: "We must get rid of the 16th amendment and the I.R.S."

Blooper: That tie. Ugly, green and striped.
