did you hear that __PUNCT__ america __PUNCT__ you heard it here from iowa __PUNCT__

i a veri real person __PUNCT__

i am not a politician __PUNCT__ nor do i ever hope or aspir to be a politician __PUNCT__

i saw what the govern wa do to all of us __PUNCT__ to our children __PUNCT__ and do to our liberti __PUNCT__

and so i decid to stand up __PUNCT__

i decid that i wa go to fight not onli for our five children and our __NUM__ foster children __PUNCT__ but also for your children too __PUNCT__ becaus thei deserv it __PUNCT__

we deserv to give them a better and a more hope futur __PUNCT__

it realli true __PUNCT__ and i sorri to sai we have strai from the vision of our founder __PUNCT__ view of govern and the __NUM___elect might veri well be our last opportun to reclaim our liberti from a govern that somehow seem bent on take more and more of it awai from us everi dai __PUNCT__

but sinc dai on of barack_obama obama_presid __PUNCT__ i have led the fight in washington against hi liber socialist polici __PUNCT__

and when the presid want a __MONEY___trillion stimulu_packag __PUNCT__ i said no __PUNCT__

we don't want social_medicin __PUNCT__

we not go to keep social medicin __PUNCT__

and barack_obama social_medicin will be repeal __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ applaus __PUNCT__ when the presid said last summer he want to rais the debt_limit to an unbeliev __MONEY___trillion __PUNCT__ i said no __PUNCT__

over the last three year __PUNCT__ the american_peopl have tragic been depriv in their presid a leader __PUNCT__ as he routin wither when he confront with paramount challeng of our gener __PUNCT__

presid_obama is guard and guid by hi harden ideolog __PUNCT__ and he withheld ani prospect for econom_recoveri __PUNCT__ as he routin place hi own polit fortun and hi own re __PUNCT__ elect plan abov the interest of the american_peopl __PUNCT__

look no further than hi denial of build the keyston __NUM__ pipelin __PUNCT__

that wa all about hi re __PUNCT__ elect __PUNCT__ noth to do with energi_independ for the american_peopl __PUNCT__

hi liber reign will end and the american peopl in our economi will final be free __PUNCT__ becaus you see __PUNCT__ what we need is a candid in the like and imag of a ronald_reagan __PUNCT__ who ha bold differ necessari to take on a barack_obama __PUNCT__

what we need is a fearless conserv __PUNCT__ on with no compromis on their record __PUNCT__ on spend __PUNCT__ on health_care __PUNCT__ on croni_capit __PUNCT__ on defend_america __PUNCT__ on stand with our alli __PUNCT__ israel __PUNCT__ on secur our border from illeg_immigr __PUNCT__ or on defend innoc __PUNCT__ unborn life or protect marriag between on man and on woman __PUNCT__

if anyon confus __PUNCT__ so we can defeat barack_obama and hi fail socialist polici __PUNCT__

i believ that i am that true_conserv who can and who will defeat barack_obama in __NUM__ __PUNCT__

and over the next few dai __PUNCT__ just be prepar __PUNCT__ the pundit and the press will again try to pick the nomine base on tonight result __PUNCT__ but there ar mani more chapter to be written on the path to our parti nomin __PUNCT__
