Texas Rep. Ron Paul finished third in Tuesday’s Iowa caucuses, but that might not be the end of the story for Paul and the Hawkeye State.
First, recall that the Iowa GOP caucuses are about more than picking a presidential candidate; that’s only one part of the process. They also help decide party platform issues and elect delegates to the Republican County Convention — the first step to running as a delegate for the Republican National Convention.
As Business Insider noted, Paul’s huge organizational effort focused not just on getting votes, but on making sure Paul supporters stayed afterward to get themselves elected county delegates — the first stage in fortifying a solid wall of support come national convention time in Tampa, Fla. in August.
Business Insider explained in an exclusive: [emphasis added]
That‘s because Iowa’s Republican caucuses are non-binding — they are technically just a straw poll, so once selected, delegates are free to vote for whichever presidential candidate they choose.
“Part of what we’ve been training the Ron Paul people to do is not to leave after the vote,” Dan Godzich, a senior campaign adviser, told BI. “Stay and get elected to the conventions and get us those delegates.”
In the weeks leading up to the caucuses, Paul advisers pounded the state, making sure supporters knew what to do and organizing slates of delegates so that even if Paul lost the overall vote, he would still be well-placed in the delegate count.
Sources told Business Insider the Paul campaign is happy with the number of delegates it netted. While not providing specifics, the site reported a source said Paul “nailed down the delegates in all of Iowa’s smaller counties, and made a strong showing in several larger ones.”
Addressing supporters Tuesday night, Paul framed his campaign as a movement and vowed to keep its momentum rolling.
“We have tremendous opportunity to continue this momentum. It won’t be long that there’s going to be an election up in New Hampshire, and believe me, this momentum is going to continue and this movement is going to continue, and we are going to keep scoring, just as we have tonight,” he said.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 11:37amLOL, the Pault ards will do anything to make it look like there is more support for Crazy Uncle Paul than there is. The guy would have been lucky to get double digits last night if it hadn’t been for Obama supporters temporarily registering as Republicans so they could cast a vote for a guy they will not be supporting in Nov when they pull the lever for the Socialist-In-Chief instead (Not that Paul will be an option in the General election anyway).

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 12:10pmJames Madison, Feb. 3, 1792 “It is to be recollected that the terms ”common defence and general welfare,” as here used, are not novel terms, first introduced into this Constitution. They are terms familiar in their construction, and well known to the people of America. …On the contrary, it was always considered clear and certain that the old Congress was limited to the enumerated powers, and that the enumeration limited and explained the general terms. I ask the gentlemen themselves, whether it was ever supposed or suspected that the old Congress could give away the money of the states to bounties to encourage agriculture, or for any other purpose they pleased. “…”If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare…they may a point teachers in every state, county, and parish, and pay them out of their public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may assume the provision for the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post-roads; in short, every thing, from the highest object of state legislation down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress; for every object I have mentioned would admit of the application of money, and might be called, if Congress pleased, provisions for the general welfare.”

I would doubt that you have ever stood for a cause and put so much time and energy into it as Paul supporters have. The proof that you haven’t is in your condescending words toward those who do. And this fact only proves that there is nothing in this world bigger or more important to you, than you!

When he is quoted as wanting to defund Israel, the quote does not speak to the complete defunding of the middle east. This results by itself is a net gain for Israel. He goes further and states foreign aid to Israel would be an annual decision.

Do you really think it matters if Obama gets re-elected versus voting for another liberty trampling, big government progressive on the Republican ticket like Santorum, Romney, or Gingrich? Do you understand that you are only giving yourself a chance to vote for a radical progressive (Obama) versus a republican progressive? Sure, one will destroy the US at a faster pace (Obama) with our horrible Congress, but both will ultimately destroy this Republic that our Founders died and paid blood so that you, my fellow citizen, and the rest can be free? Please let me know where I went wrong.
Also, thank you OKIE, JMILLER and others who posted the truth about Rick Santorum. I hope and pray the rest of this board wake up!
As a final note, once again the Blaze has titled their story dishonestly saying the RP camp committed a “sly move”. To the Blaze, can you actually explain what the RP camp did wrong or was sly? I call what they did just exercising democracy to be represented. Glenn Beck, you were butchered on Fox News by pundits, critics twisting your words and actions and now you are letting the same thing happen to another person.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 1:41pmRon Paul in the guise of FDR was president in the ‘30’s when all three branches of government were Democratic Super-Majorities. Their combined policies of isolationism kept U.S. out of the war. Their non-action led directly to the deaths of at least 9 million additional people who, if we had intervened and helped our allies in Britain and France in the mid ‘30’s would not have died.
I do have to give FDR credit for finally saying, “When peace has been broken anywhere, the peace of all countries everywhere is in danger,” and for passing the “Fourth Neutrality Act” and the “Lend-Lease Act”. This led to our involvement, albeit 7 years too late. Should we ever get in a position like that again we have to ask ourselves whether Ron Paul’s isolationism is something we can live (die) with.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 1:44pmNo, the cross over voters for Ron Paul last night were conviction voters. Ron Paul is the only candidate opposing the NDAA indefinite detention of US Citizens, even inside the US, without any due process, no attorney, trial, tribunal, nothing to show their ‘suspicions’ are incorrect. Obama signed the NDAA into law on New Year’s eve. Ron Paul opposes the Patriot Act removal of probable cause for a warrant to search private material. Ron Paul opposes FISA and the TSA.
There are more independents registered to vote now than Republicans, and last night Ron Paul got 8 out of 10 non GOP votes, according to one break down I saw. If your candidate is NOT Ron Paul, how does he intend to win independents and cross over votes to win the general election?
There is a REASON Ron Paul consistently polls better head to head against Obama than any other GOP candidate except Romney. And if you don’t believe he does, go to the RCP average OR Rasmussen (although Rasmussen doesn’t poll all candidates head to head against Obama on the same day, so it seems less accurate.)

SLY should not have been included in the title of this article and exhibits the writes prejudice toward Ron Paul. SMART would have been a much better choice. If voters and supporters did not stay after the voting to pursue being a delegate for their candidate, I blame it on the candidates’ lack of prepardeness.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 2:24pmI’ll be honest and admit that I was entirely disappointed last night but when I heard Dr. Paul give his remarks to his supporters it dawned on me just how big this was.. It was not about winning Iowa… It’s about a movement to take back this country to its Constitutional foundations! It will not be easy and it may not be won in this election but it’s a fight and a fight worth having… Unlike I might add the fights in the Middle East that have cost us trillions of dollar, 10s of thousands of dead and wounded, 100s of thousands of native civilians dead and wounded and what do we have to show for this sacrifice people? Let me tell you what we have to show for it… More instability and more hatred of America across the Globe! Furthermore, if you are claiming to be a Christian and you are throwing your support behind these policies then you obviously have innocent blood on your hands and you have been deceived by some very unsavory people with hidden agendas. You need to seek the face of Jesus and ask if he supports the slaughter of innocent women and children in the name of Democracy and ask him how many civilians is he willing to sacrifice in order to ensure that Iran does not produce an atom bomb. Personally I don’t see Jesus accepting this collateral damage just so that the Military Industrial Complex can continue posting its big profits and I don’t think Jesus would be too happy with those throwing their support behind the people that advocate these policies.

“I live in Israel, and I can tell you that if a libertarian like Ron Paul was a candidate here he would get at most 100 votes, not 30,000. You are lucky that you live in a country where so many people appreciate freedom. So when I hear you guys being so upset that RP received 22% and not 30% of the votes, I can‘t help but think that you simply can’t comprehend what great thing you have accomplished by supporting RP and freedom. We, libertarians in Israel and in Europe, can only dream about something even remote as what you have accomplished in Iowa.
Some of you blame yourself for not doing enough, or for doing too many phone calls. I think its nuts. First of all making phone calls is an amazing way to spread the libertarian ideology. Second of all, you have done A LOT, but even a lot is not enough to make millions of people who are used to live in a statist society to suddenly become freedom lovers. I admire what you have done, this is great for all freedom loving people everywhere. However I think we should all remember that our mission has just started.

Rick Santorum’s powerful finish in the Iowa caucus is bringing fresh attention to his tenure in Congress, including ethics questions that dogged him about a preferred mortgage he received from a bank run by campaign donors, and federal funds that went to a real estate developer who backed his charity.
One of the top donors to Santorum’s charity was also the beneficiary of an $8 million Santorum-sponsored federal earmark, according to published reports. Melanie Sloan, a former federal prosecutor who filed an ethics complaint against Santorum in 2006 on behalf of a watchdog group, said her organization’s website received a tidal wave of visitors in the past 24 hours, and in an interview she said she believes people will discover that the GOP presidential contender is “hardly the moral paragon he purports to be.”

No matter how much one tries to regulate morality, people with bad self government will still govern “badly” for example, in Montana, there is a county with a bad problem with Meth. They regulated the indgredents of meth (including medacine and common household items) so much that those with Good self government lost thier liberty to buy those items as they pleased.
So you know what happened. Those ones with bad self government started to make thier own form of drug by litterally taking a dump and ******* in jars and putting a baloon over the waste. The Carbon Minoxide built up in the baloon and people started to get HIGH off their own waste gasses!

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 5:20pm@godlovinmom Thanks for the response. His stance on drugs basically lies not on Legalization but decriminalization, which are two different things. And considering his positions consist of federal matters, not state, makes a huge difference. The main reason he takes those positions is because of the Constitution. The Constitution does not contain the word “drug” or mention anything of that matter in it. So my question in considering this from a legal (not political) perspective is as follows. What part of Article 1 Section 8 and Amendment 9 and 10 gives the federal Government Power to govern in those issues regarding private drug use by Citizens? Shouldn’t the States take care of that (punishment, regulation, and all)? Recently not even CA was able to legalize marijuana in a popular vote. I believe the federal Government has been a huge failure with these Progressive prohibitionist laws. They have not improved our society’s problems or immorality. I rather Jesus tell me what’s right, than have Big Government force me to do what they believe is right. It all comes down to individual responsibility. I do believe though that Law Enforcement may detain those who cause damage or transgress the rights of others, bring them to trial, and rule with exact judgement. These drug laws only give the impression that Government must, will and can take care of our society’s ills, but do nothing to place personal responsibility ahead. We need God, not more Government.

What is bad self government? I would suggest bad self government is when an individual takes away from the liberty and freedom of another. This is exactly what the federal government is doing right now!
When it comes to the absuse of drugs, or alcohol. The issues do not revolve around the substance. They revolve around bad self government. Bad choises. Kinda like owning a gun. If somebody murders somebody with a gun (Or a sword for that matter) the problem is not the weapon. Its the person. Government has no right to take away the right to own a gun. They do have the right to enforce discipline on the bad actions of the individual.
Just because drugs are legalized does not mean everybody is going to use them. Somebody with good self government will not. Those with bad self government will always make bad decisions regardless of regulation. The only ones who get shafted in the end are those who obey the law. (Example: gun restrictions only apply to those who obey the law, not those who dont) I hope this makes sense. :) God Bless

You cannot ban with a law the desire to do drugs. All you do with the ban is force drug users to purchase them from criminals, who are invested in keeping the user addicted. In fact, the ban actually contributes to moral degradation. This was most obvious in the years surrounding prohibition.
You certainly cannot ban sexual desire. The unintended consequences of banning prostitution include the spreading of STDs and the exploitation, enslavement and murder of women.
Abortion is no different. If we ban abortion, you will not see women suddenly decide they don’t want abortions. Many will simply find an underground practitioner with no medical license. Not only will you have dead babies, but you will have women who are exploited at best, and dead at worst. Worth it?
Ironically, abortion is the only one of the 3 in which you can at least identify a victim whose rights were infringed upon, and it is the one that is legal.

Their non-action led directly to the deaths of at least 9 million additional people who, if we had intervened and helped our allies in Britain and France in the mid ‘30’s would not have died.”

“A Paul presidency in 1940 would have meant a war with Germany, but not Japan. However, a President Paul in 1917 would not have encouraged U.S. entry into that conflagration. If he was successful, there would have been no need for any declaration of war against Germany, as there would have been no Adolph Hitler and his Nazis in charge. He would have been, instead, an unknown house painter. With a President Paul at the helm, there would have been no holocaust; no 50 million people perishing during this war; no dropping of atomic bombs on innocent civilians, women and children, to our eternal shame.”

You don‘t seem to quite understand the prospect of Ron Paul’s drug stance. Just because it might end up legalized on the federal level does not mean that it would be legal. It would be left up to the states.
I have come to realize over the past couple of years that there are so many people out there that think it‘s the federal government’s role to regulate our lives. That’s wrong. Any regulation should be done at the state level. Doing so accomplishes a couple of things: it gives the people more say in how they want to live their lives by a) making their votes actually mean something, and b) giving them the ability to move to a different state that holds values closer to their own. There are certainly some actions that should be covered by the federal government, like murder, but drugs and prostitution are not among them.

They love to use the media and their surrogates to ‘get the word out’ that Ron Paul and those like him are ‘nuts’. It is said so many times and in so many ways that it becomes ‘popular truth’ amongst the sheep. Most people have not the capacity nor the desire to critically analyze complex issues to arrive at the truth on their own. They are also afraid of being seen as a supporter of a ‘nut’ or a losing candidate. They feel more comfortable running with the crowd, especially if the ‘smart’ people are saying its the thing to do. This is just the nature of men. There are brief periods of enlightenment that occur once in a great while where there are enough willing to think for themselves that real and meaningful change can take place.

If elected President, Ron Paul will work to implement the following common sense reforms (taken from his website):
* Enforce Border Security – America should be guarding her own borders and enforcing her own laws instead of policing the world and implementing UN mandates.
* No Amnesty – The Obama Administration’s endorsement of so-called “Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, will only encourage more law-breaking.
* Abolish the Welfare State – Taxpayers cannot continue to pay the high costs to sustain this powerful incentive for illegal immigration. As Milton Friedman famously said, you can’t have open borders and a welfare state.
* End Birthright Citizenship – As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be granted U.S. citizenship, we’ll never be able to control our immigration problem.
* Protect Lawful Immigrants – As President, Ron Paul will encourage legal immigration by streamlining the entry process without rewarding lawbreakers.
As long as our borders remain wide open, the security and safety of the American people are at stake.
As President, Ron Paul will address immigration by fighting for effective solutions that protect our nation, uphold the rule of law, and respect every American citizen’s civil liberties.

Paul said in an interview that he would use submarines to protect the US. He would have ready ships and the kind to defend us. Our modern foreign policy more often than not uses our troops for nation building, while leaving our borders unsecured and wide open. We need to reevaluate our priorities, here at home. We have enough satellites, carriers, submarines, stationed missiles and other high tech weaponry to protect our homeland and our interests far off. We really should rethink about our strategy of sending our troops all over the world, it’s spreading our military too thin.

A liberal I met at the grocery store told me that she is leaning towards voting for Ron Paul. I was shocked! He is one of the few running that isn’t a closet liberal that has infiltrated the Rep party. In my town in California, I have only seen signs supporting Ron Paul…no signs supporting any other candidates. Also, bumper stickers supporting Ron Paul…no other candidates. People are waking up and are tired of the same old politicians lying about their views, making the same old decisions that hurt this country.

“…If elected President, Ron Paul will work to implement the following common sense reforms (taken from his website):
* Enforce Border Security –
* No Amnesty –
* Abolish the Welfare State –
* End Birthright Citizenship –
* Protect Lawful Immigrants –
As President, Ron Paul will address immigration by fighting for effective solutions that protect our nation, uphold the rule of law, and respect every American citizen’s civil liberties.
- Paul will bring our troops home to protect our own borders. We need boots on the ground, here!…”
*** Yes, I agree he will do these things,….with the exception of the border; he had ample opportunity to support Texas legislation to do so, yet he never performed consistently– Just like Perry and Bush..i know, I’m in Texas.
He doesn‘t profess an economical plan and he doesn’t substantiate initiative to secure the threat from Iran. People this will get ugly, Iran recognizes a closing time with Obama’s failing Presidency.
Mr Paul has great ideas in a perfect world, but the demands of economical structure and security must be met simultaneously, and his past reveals no inclination to meet the challenge of either.

Not only was he trying to warn us about the housing crash that finally came in 2008, which shows that he at least knows SOMETHING [that not many other people saw coming as early as him] about the economy, but he was also trying to warn us about what Clinton’s actions would do to us.

“That’s why Ron Paul is the kind of politician that openly calls for the end of pork spending, then stuffs pork into a bill, then works hard to get the bill passed, then votes against the bill because it has pork in it.”
Pork is never “stuffed” into Appropriations Bills. When pork is part of such a Bill, it is a portion of the funds that will have already been requested. So whether pork is part of an Appropriations Bill or not, the money is spent no matter what.
Also, we have to distinguish between pork and legitimate allocations of funds which are to be appropriated. Since most Appropriations Bills aren’t necessary, Ron Paul votes against them; But since the money that is not earmarked (aka “allocated”) will be spent by the Executive Branch, rather than by Congress who has that responsibility, Ron Paul’s position is that 100% of the money that is to be appropriated should be earmarked by the representatives of the people.

This is where they fail to realize why so many people support Ron Paul. Now I know you do not agree with him on foreign policy but over 70% of Americans are tired of our foreign policy and on the list of issues it is only important by 3%. More people want to reduce the spending and Ron Paul wants to cut 1$ trillion dollars of real spending. Also, most Ron Paul supporters are very dedicated and sorry if other candidates do not quite have the same level of commitment. I do not need to argue about why I think Ron Paul should win because I mostly get attacked but yet no one will contact their other candidates to adopt some of solutions Ron Paul has put forth as solutions, so I only have one choice. And if he were to run as independent and the GOP loses well then that is what you get for not looking for better solutions to the problems.

This is the process that has been in-place for years, his supporters are simply inserting themselves into the process, as supporters of any other candidate is equally entitled to do.
Ron Paul has a set of ideas and concerns that he shares with a passionate number of supporters, encouraging his supporters to become delegates means his ideas and concerns will likely outlast his Republican Presidential campaign… Pau will likely not be the GOP candidate, and if all his supporters are invested in having influence over the GOP through their becoming delegates then the likelyhood he will bolt the GOP and run as a third-party candidate becomes almost nil.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 11:23amI have been a big Fox News and Glenn Beck fan for years, BUT I am DISGUSTED by the 24/7 smear campaign that they waged against Ron Paul for the last few months. Ron Paul would have easily won the Iowa Caucus if it wasn’t for the blatant lies spewn by both Glenn Beck and Fox News against Ron Paul. Let’s see if they go after Rick Santorum with the same vigorous vulgarity that they went after Ron Paul. If Rick Santorum couldn’t even win his last Senatorial election, how’s he supposed to win the presidential election. Also, are they going to pound him on his ****-phobic and, at times, pro-choice stances as well as his love for EARMARKS?!
It seems the “establishment” picks out the candidate THEY WANT, and use the media to smear anyone that looks like they could make a run at their “chosen one”. I just never thought I’d see Fox News and Glenn Beck, especially, stoop to the Saul Alinsky tactics that they so often slammed the left for doing. SHAME ON THEM!

Notice that was the ONLY time the whole evening that CNN had trouble with the video. Maybe the FCC hit the kill switch when they realized America was hearing why RP’s foreign policy is so great.

I was aware that Rush called for something like that. I don’t respect the man, and I don’t know whether he was able to get Repubs to engage in foul play.
Someone I do respect and believe, Stuart Varney, made a very interesting comment on Fox News this morning. He said the stock market would’ve fallen only if Ron Paul had won. According to Varney, the general feeling among economists is that Paul would be the only candidate who would be extremely dangerous and detrimental to the American economy. I know Paul supporters will vehemently deny it, but the effects of a Ron Paul nomination would be devastating at all levels, not just on the foreign front. America would be in great peril, just through a different ideology. It’s choosing the snake over the scorpion. Ultimately, they both inflict great harm.

Obum, the commie, being an evil man himself, knows all too well he has to use an iron fist against his enemies. Not that he cares about America, but he doesn’t want his reign to be upset by another 9/11 or worse. That’s why most of those young Dims who voted for Obum in 2008 thinking he would end all wars have been sorely disappointed and are attracted to Ron Paul now. If Paul ever became president you would quickly regret the folly of your choice. Evil powers have no wish to “emulate” Paul’s definition of American exceptionalism – although I suspect Paul sides with those who believe we are “a nation of cowards,” but he won’t express it in those terms for obvious reasons.
I wonder a lot about you, brother. How can you ignore the warnings in the Word of God? “The devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” Why doesn’t he “emulate” God? Because God is a warmongering God who kicked him out of heaven, and commands the archangel Michael and his angels to kick his sorry butt?

God alone will defend and fight for Israel against all her enemies. He will gather all nations together against Israel, and crush them, to show the world that he alone is King over all the earth, for the world has denied and rejected the true God. The god of this world is Satan, whom will lead all these nations into rebellion against God and influence hatred towards God’s people. What do you mean by the “false spirit of peace”? If anything, throughout the New Testament, Jesus preaches peace even in the midst of evil and persecution. That’s not to say to act defenseless, but to act within Just actions.

He is right in there with the war mongers that run the republican party. Never thought I would see the day. He had a chance to unite his audience with the Ron Paul campaign and instead decided to further his own agenda instead. And to think that I used to have the highest respect for this guy.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 11:59am70mach & Rock-n-Roll-Rebel are spot on! What’s with GB and Israel? Believe me, Little Israel doesn’t need US, she is perfectly able to protect herself, she has all the Nukes she needs.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 11:20amNot a Paul supporter either, but it works the same way here in Colorado. You’ve got district, state, and then national delegate hoops still to jump through. It’s educating yourself and your supporters on the process, not sly.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 11:25amYes, you question the CONSTITUTION of the United States. So that makes you what? Welfare recipient? Maybe a UNION or Big Government employee? Why don’t you support a mna who is tryng to return us to the Constitution? You would indeed call the Founders crazy too…

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 12:33pmLooks like the candidates (not including Paul) along with this reporter know as much about the election process as they do about the Constitution.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 3:04pmAll this does is show how uninformed the people are who end up supporting other candidates on a whim. The most informed voters, like them or not, are Ron Paul supporters. This isn’t so much a move to somehow invalidate the results. It’s to protect Ron Paul from the inevitable attempt by the Republican establishment to steal the nomination from him. They can’t do it if he has the delegates. If he won the straw poll last night in Iowa, but his supporters all went home afterward, then the establishment delegates could easily decide to support a RINO over him when the votes really count.
It comes down to his supporters simply being informed and intelligent.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 11:11amAgreed. It’s not sly there Blaze writer. It is part of the process in Iowa as in many states. To characterize it as such is misleading.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 11:18amOf COURSE it’s SMART. That is what the process is all about, which obviously flies over Morgenstern’s head.
Most Military support.
Most Independent support.
Most youth support.
Most Democrat that “voted for change, but got more of the same” support.
Most PALEO Conservative support.
Most anti-establishment support.
Either the GOP wakes up and realizes their roots in PALEO Conservatism, or they are going to get beaten like a DRUM.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 11:24amYup, it was plain smart. Gotta admit, though, use of “sly” in the headline lead me more to read the story. That’s what headlines are for.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 11:24amSmart is right. I also noticed the Blaze isn’t sly at all in their dislike for Ron Paul. And Santorum is “Rousing” for saying game on, give me a break. Only one candidate actually has a plan to balance the budget. We’re broke, remember?

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 12:27pm@BLAZER123 You do understand sly doesn’t mean evil. right? The blaze do or say anything negative about Paul in this article. They just said that he was sly aka smart. Calm down buddy.
If anything this article is pointing out how lacking the rest of the candidates are for not attempting to do the same thing.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 1:35pm@The-Real-Enrico – The use of sly either in a positive or negative slant is simply incorrect usage. It is merely an education of supports who may or may not be aware that they have district, state, and then national delegate hurdles within the caucus process. Romney campaign workers made efforts to educate Colorado caucus supporters in the last election. I see no difference here eventhough I am certainly not a Paul supporter. To elucidate what can be an over complex process is not “sly”.
