Comments on: William Meyers will not appear on the ballot, but he’s still ‘in this race’ http://iowaindependent.com/4034/william-meyers-will-not-appear-on-the-ballot-but-hes-still-in-this-race Iowa politics, news, and commentary Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:46:10 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Steel Medic http://iowaindependent.com/4034/william-meyers-will-not-appear-on-the-ballot-but-hes-still-in-this-race/comment-page-1#comment-6624 Steel Medic Mon, 18 Aug 2008 07:32:20 +0000 http://iowaindependent.com/?p=4034#comment-6624 Although Christopher Reed and I disagree on many issues, I respect him and enjoy his friendship. Reed is a veteran, a true veteran, not someone who served for a couple years in the Marines in England during peacetime and than calls himself a "Hero" and a "Terrorist expert" and calls everyone who disagrees with him a "special interest terrorist" (No, I am not kidding, check his website). Christopher Reed is an honorable man who has a bright future in Iowa politics, no matter how daunting his task of defeating Harkin looks. He would never associate himself with a nut job like Meyers who occupies most of his day posting under false names on blogs and changing his stance to be against whoever at the moment has made him mad.

It only takes 300 signatures to get on the ballot. So he is left without enough time to get these signatures?? I have a hard time believing that. If he was really serious, he would have been able to collect these in a week at the very most. In addition, how does he know that changes wont be made? The election is over, there wont be another primary for 2 years, and the people that William is depending on to make changes ever so quickly are running for office themselves. I am 100 percent sure that if William recieved word from Tom Harkin that he would work to help change things, Tom meant it. However things cannot be changed over night by the Democratic party in a swing state during the last 90 days of the most important election in state history. Have some patience William.
