I think, you are not with John Denner or Mitchil McConnel. You don't, you wouldn't vote to extend the payroll tax cut for another year.

No, I would. I, no. I believe in the social security system, we're gonna fix the social security system. So it's there. And it's solved, and it's there for future generations. And we have so many years I have heard what we're taking the social security tech hours when we spend it on other things. Here we are, seeking social security tech hours and spending it on other things. And in this case, a tax cut for the American consumers now that's a good thing to spend it on. But it either is the social security trust fund, and it either is the money to pay social security benefits, and it's levying for that purposes or it's not. And in this case, you see, the president advocated and pushing to undermine the stability of our social security system, and I'm against that.
What is Ron Paul bringing it to this race, that's exciting a lot of potential caucus goers in Iowa.

Uh, a lot of money, he's hehehe... he's been running, been here Iowa for two weeks and there isn't a commercial break that passes Ron Paul deosn't have an AD. And of course, he has a loyal following, he's got a very ground, good grassroot's organizaton, and really nobody's talking about, all the negative ads from governor Perry, from Mitt Romney been focused on New Gringe.

 I think, the, the point is that this ad, this poll was taken as a lot of other polls were taken before the last debate and I think, both Michial Buckman and I did a pretty good job of showing how dangerous Ron Paul will be as a nominee for our party while he'd be in opposition, where he would be to the left  in fact far to left president Obama on issue of national security. It'd be great thing if he were running as a liberal Democrate, but he is not, he's running this as a Republican.

I think more people who see that clear contrast someone like myself who's been out there, who understands the threat that faces this country. Someone who has a clear idea how we can make American safer, and it isn't by guiding our defense department and making us the third world, the third rate power in the world. We have a lot of folks who're very concerned that between Micheal Buckman, Rit Perry, Myself. Then we're gonna split the conservative vote, and someone like Gingrige or Romney, or now even Paul can end up wining Iowa caucus, we can be left with someone who's not paritculaly conservative as the standard bearer, the party there was a lot of conversations compete, serveral people called me, and said, would you consider, you know, maybe getting out, supporting someone else, we're gonna call the other candidates to do the same. And my response that is, you know, let people of Iowa vote, uh, this race is gonna be over after one after one caucus, this is a long process, let people decide who are the best person, they carried the conservative banners. I believe they are gonna select me, I feel very confident about that, but you know what if somebody else, that's fine. we let, we have to trust the voters instead of some deal being made between candidates, I rejected that, and thankfully, so did all other candidates reject that, that, it's just people good intention as it was, I think it was a good intention because they're concerned about the issues are being front-and-center in this debate. and it was just not, it was not a proper idea.

我想,你不是站在约翰•德纳或者米歇尔•麦克纳一边。你肯定不会,你不会投票来延长明年的工资消减税。
我会的 。我相信美国的社会保障体系,我们要修正社会保障体系。所以它就被抬上了台面。它的存在了是为了我们的子孙后代。我听见社会保障技术已经很多年,而我们把钱花在其他方面。我们现在在这里,寻求社会保障技术而把钱花在这里。在这种情况下,减税对于美国消费者来说无疑是一件政府值得破费的好事情。但是,要么是社会保障信托基金,要么是交纳社会安全福利,而它的征收目事实上却并不是这样。在这种情况下,你看,总统倡导和推动破坏稳定的社会保障体系,我反对。
罗恩•保罗也加入到了竞争中,爱荷华州的潜在党团会议者们太令人兴奋了。
嗯,有很多的钱,他…他一直在经营自己,在爱荷华州这里待两个星期不会有商业休息时段,不会出现罗恩•保罗的一支广告。当然,他有一个忠心的追随者,他有一个非常好的组织。没有人谈论州长佩里的所有负面广告,米特•罗姆尼也是如此。
我认为,问题的关键在于这个广告,这项民意测验被视作一个许多之前其他民意最后的一场辩论。我认为,迈克尔•巴克曼和我做了一个很不错的工作，显示罗恩•保罗在反对时作为我们党的一名候选人的危险性,在那里他离开奥巴马总统谈论国家安全问题。如果他成为自由民主党将是非常伟大的,但他没有,他正在竞选成为一名共和党人。

我想有更多的人看到明显的对比,谁了解这个国家面临的威胁。有人对如何使美国更加安全有一个清晰的想法,而不是通过引导我们的国防部门及使我们成为第三世界及第三世界强国。有很多人非常担心迈克尔•巴克曼，里特•佩里及我自己。然后我们就瓜分保守主义者的选票,不管有人喜欢格里格或者罗姆尼,甚至现在保罗也能最终赢得爱荷华州党团会议,我们剩下的人不是特别标准的保守派，有很多对话竞争。几个人打电话给我,说,你能重新考虑下吗？你知道也许能支持别人,我们会打电话给其他候选人做同样的事情。我的回答是,你知道,让爱荷华州的人自己投票吧。嗯,这场较量会使我们应接不暇,而这是一个漫长的过程。让人们决定谁是最好的人,他们携带着保守的旗帜。我相信他们一定会选择我,我感到很有信心,但你知道如果是别人,那也不错。我们必须相信投票者,而不是候选人之间的交易,我拒绝了,谢天谢地,所有其它候选人都会拒绝,一切只是人们出于好意而已。我认为这是出于善解人意,因为他们担心在这场辩论中失利的人们。而这只是不这样,它不是一个合适的主意。
