Come to think of it, Ron Paul is an awesome candidate. Now that Fred Thompson is out of the race, we really should take a second look at him. If we want a good change in America, the way to go is Ron Paul. Just look at his positions on the issues and see how they match those of the Founding Fathers. Especially his flank two position. I repeat: His flank 2 position. Let’s all talk about how awesome Ron Paul is.
You may have a point. If America wants to seem irrational and dangerous to her enemies, we should consider Ron Paul!
wait, what?
In my neighborhood we were suffering from a rash of crimes. Now, after using Ron Paul for only two weeks, the rash is gone.
Slogan time??
“Ron Paul: He may be 100 percent crazy on some issues, but he’s 65 percent right on some other issues!”
…or…
“Ron Paul: He has the courage to speak out against that trashy President Lincoln!”
…or…
“Ron Paul: Let Doctor Crazy-Pants into your heart!”
…or…
“Ron Paul: If being completely nutters over the Constitution is wrong, he doesn’t want to be right!”
…finally…
“Ron Paul: You can tear our signs, but Lincoln is still trash!!”
What the? Oh, whatever. I’ve always wondered what it would feel like to be a Ron Paul supporter. Here goes nothing
RON PAUL! HE’LL BLOW UP THE WTO AND EAT ALL ITS CREATORS AND SPIT THEM UP AND USE THEM AS WEAPONS TO BLOW UP THE UN!!!!!! RON PAUL FOR AMERICA!!
Yeah Jack… er Frank, we heard you the first time, a flank-2 position.
We’ll be sure send in conservative reinforcements through the SOUTH corridor and not directly behind you.
Anyone who isn’t taking Ron Paul’s statements and explanations for our economic conditions seriously has got their head in the sand. The dollar is tanking, and it is a crisis. Go to Youtube and search ‘ron paul economy’.

I think all the Paul-hate is getting a little overboard.
But anyway, for the uninitiated:
Flank 2
Ron Paul! Because Econ 101 was too hard.
Ron Paul! Go for the Gold! Standard, that is!
Ron Paul! Because decades of economic growth MUST be turned around!
Ron Paul! A more dignified looking Pat Buchanan!
Ron Paul! My supporters count U.S. Embassies as military installations! (Seriously, I’ve looked into it – this is the only way they can come up with the “130 countries” shtick.)
Ron Paul! Hey, American isolationism was only a contributing factor to one measly world war n the last century – let’s try it again!
And I could go on…
Ron Paul was extremely effective in helping to get Fred Thompson out of the race. The bulk of the thanks goes to Huckabee for that but Paul was also helpful. Ron Paul used up a lot of debate time that Fred could have used to get more voters interested in him. Instead potential voters had to listen to more Ron Paul.
Ron Paul was polling well enough that they had to allow him at the majority of the debates. Ron Paul’s speaking time – plus and the fact that there are so many GOP candidates – really kept Fred from being able to get his message out there to potential listeners. This blog also deserves a lot of thanks for making Ron Paul a remarkable success story. IMAO and other right wings blogs helped make Ron Paul seem important to liberals and independents with their constant bashing of him. People were like WTF? Why are these damn blogs bashing Ron Paul? Then they would go and read about Ron Paul’s opinions on the economy and Iraq and go “Oh sweet! Ron Paul rules!”
In a way you could say that IMAO and other right wing blogs actually helped drive Fred Thompson out of the race by focusing so much on Ron Paul. This intense focus from blogs like IMAO drove people to Ron Paul -> which increased his popularity -> which increased his polling numbers -> which put him in the debates -> which then took valuable speaking time away from Fred Thompson -> which then made peeps overlook Fred Thompson -> which then made Fred Thompson lose! Way to go IMAO and other right wing blogs! You did it! You sunk Fred Thompson’s campaign!
Ron Paul is now so huge that he will stay in the race to the finish and appear in all the rest of the debates. He might even win a state or two or come away the winner at a bizarre brokered convention. Hooray! Thanks IMAO! Keep bashing Ron Paul!
RON PAUL!!! BECAUSE I ♡ BIGOTRY! ONLY RONPAULCANSAVEUSFROMTHEJEUS OMG!!!RONAPUL FTW
For too long Republicans have been confused.
Overwhelmed by too many choices. Not knowing where to turn.
But out of the confusion comes stunning clarity. That clarity is your conservative rock in the rain. It’s John McCain!

John McCain: Because nothing says conservatism like stabbing conservatives in the back for years.
I will not now, nor ever support a cut and run policy in Iraq. It is dangerous. Not ever in history has that worked.
This reminds me of The Office (US) episode The Coup where Michael pretends he was demoted and Dwight was now in charge. Pam’s response:
“I have this old vacuum cleaner that’s broken. If Dwight doesn’t work out, maybe that could be manager.”
If you’re jonesing for The Office, go over to http://www.whatsthescuttlebutt.com/ , they have every sound clip you could possibly want
I just discovered that there are free Ron Paul campaign hats in most public restrooms! They keep them in dispensers in the stalls! Everyone show your support for Ron Paul by wearing the official Ron Paul campaign hats! RON PAUL ’08!!
I want to thank you for your service. Its good to hear you are reconsidering Ron Paul as a potential candidate. Also, you are wrong about the Government’s need to nuke the Moon.
**Frank: No I’m not
Yes you are
**Frank: No I’m not
Yes you are
**Frank: No I’m not
Sir, Yes you are. The president cannot nuke…
**Frank: No I’m not
Yes you are. Unless we are invaded by moonians, the president can do nothing. Congress would have to authorize nuking the moon. That’s what teh constitution said. Thats what the piece of trash, Lincoln wanted to save us from. We can’t afford to nuke the moon. If we do, we will be there for the next 100 years.
**Frank: What else
YOU NEED TO LEARN YOUR CONSTITUTION BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU HAVE A BLOG AUDIENCE TO READ YOU AND YOU CAN JUST CALL FOR NUKING THE MOON. YOU MAKE ME SICK.
**Frank: How come
BECAUSE WE CAN’T AFFORD TO REBUILD THE MOON AFTER WE BLOW IT APART. REPUBLICANS USED TO BE FOr GOOD STRING ARMY, AND NOW THEY JUST WANT TO BLOW EVERYTHING APART WITH NUKES.
Except for Ron Paul
SimonL., if remorseless and continous mockery made a person more electable/poltically powerful then Dubya would have long since become global-dictator-for-as-many-lives-he-lives.
If Ron Paul beomes president (Gasp in unmentionable horror) I’ll have to finally install that thermonuclear grade bunker I’ve been design and start training a force of guerilla warriors to repeal the coming invasion. The only question would be rather to learn Manadarin Chinese or Mexican style Spainish so I could eavesdrop on the invaders’ radio transmissions.
Ron Paul is a smarmy little prick…but then again, he’s a Congressman and one can’t get much lower than that! I’d rather be a USED car salesman, a Realtor or a Lawyer…well ok…there are limits on the bottom of society! Anyway, I say let’s run “SP” against either “Herself” or “The Magic Negro” and watch as the Republican Party ends up on the ass-heap of history! We deserve it having driven Mr. Fred Thompson from the race!
McCain only wants to go to the moon because he heard the Indians may have some land up there….
My respect for Ron Paul is such that, were it not prohibited by the constitution and all common sense, I would immediately burn down all the IRS buildings in the country and grow lizards in my hair.
The Ron Paul Revolution will completely revolutionalize the world with it’s revolutional rovolving revulsion. Plus, he’s the only candidate that can beat John Edwards.
FRANK J 08!!!! Frank J Rulz!
A Frank J / Ron Paul ticket in 08. With Paul flinging feces for the reporters, we can get down to mass invading and moon nuking without all the pesky interuptions.
Frank – forget about Ron Paul. So Fred is out of the running. So what? When the going gets tough… the tough get going. Nothing is over until we say it is. Was it over when Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? No! And its not over now. This situation calls for a an incredibly stpuid act of futility on sombodey’s part, and I think you’re just the guy to do it.
After all, Fred was just a figurehead with a hot-ass wife. The important thing is to KILL TERRORISTS, PROTECT THE BORDERS & PUNCH HIPPIES! I think you should run as an independent. Between McCain, Barack/Hillary, and Bloomberg – they will splinter the commie vote, and you could just slide into a position to finish off that damned moon once and for all.
In exchange for this idea, I would like to be considered for Secretary of Hippie Punching.
This is exactly how the Daily Fred Thomson Facts started out.
Frank, are you gonna start that now that Fred is out? If so, here’s one:
Daily Ron Paul Fact:
Ron Paul’s black helicopter doesn’t have enough Jet-A to get above ground effect.
~P&B~
Excuse me? I don’t see anywhere in the constitution where it prohibits anything regarding IRS buildings or growing lizards in your hair. Don’t let that hold you up!
I just don’t get all the Ron Paul hating. It sounds like everybody bashing him is just afraid of something different, kind of like the old “this is the way we’ve always done it, this is the only way it can be done” argument.
RP isn’t an isolationist, he’s a non-interventionalist. There’s a difference, look it up.
Look, things have been going in the crapper for decades now. Clearly the policies of inflationary action, empire building, and debt increases have not worked for us. Let’s try something different. Let individuals take care of themselves and let the government take care of national defense. Our nation, not theirs.
Frank’s original Nuke The Moon piece held a great deal of truth. If others in the world were afraid of us raining death on them they’d leave us alone. They don’t have that now. We just keep spreading money we don’t have around to every two-bit country out there. We need to consolidate our resources, increase our national defense, and stop playing policeman.
That doesn’t mean that we cut off diplomatic or trade ties; it just means that we keep out of their internal affairs, and if they screw with us it should be the last time.
i iz big fanz o mista paul. he roolz. kinda remindz i of a genioz wizzardz.
Whether or not you agree with the war in Iraq, if we leave now, we’ll be going back within 20 years. We have to stabilize before we pull out or it’s pointless.
So, I stand by my statement of not supporting cut and run. Ever. It doesn’t matter if I agree with being there. The safety of the troops and the future of the Iraqi citizens (which it is too late to not affect) hangs in the balance here.
Walk softly but carry a big stick! Ron Paul does not have a big stick.

Ron Paul: things that come to mind…
Hard of hearing; doesn’t listen anyway.
Easily excited.
Rants and raves.
Goes off on tangents.
Eccentric.
Possibly demented, certainly forgetful.
Poor understanding of 20th Century history.
Isolationist.
For President?
The Ron Paul Revolution (def. #2) is super awesome!
So in lieu of a well reasoned argument, you guys are going for more of an ad hominem attack against the supporters… Impressive, gents.
No ad hominems, knight. Just observations. LOL, Alan.
Humor! it cuts to the bone!
Hey Jimmy-
Guess who wrote that def…?
You crack me up! Thanks for that Alano 🙂
am i the only American who would love to see a machiavellian in power. for those of you who must google it, the man is niccolo machiavelli. he wrote the prince. the most accurate book on how to run a nation. i dont see why americans have such a hard time believing that “might=right.”
Two reasons:
1) Most true believers in might equals right have a hard time determining between can and should.
2) Machiavellians are usually the first to complain when the bigger fish shows up.
Besides, there is another name for might equals right, anarchy. Civilzation is the road away from that, not toward it.
First of all a good machiavelli would never complain about a bigger fish, just subvert him to his own purposes. Oh yes and when Ron talks about pulling out from everywhere, thats isolationism.
Funny how his messiah, Thomas Jefferson orderedthe first intervention withthe barbary pirates though..
Libris: while I might agree with some of your sentiment, your reasons are both opinions. In true Ron Paul fashion I thus rebut: 1.) no they don’t. 2.) no they don’t.
Guess what knight? Most of us have attempted logic with Ron Paul supporters and have found their ability to ingest it lacking. Their only reason for existence must be performance art (You go Frank!!!!). So, we are trying to appreciate Ron Paul and his followers for what they are.
To say Machiavellians believe might=right is a typically shallow understanding of his work. You care clearly referring to “The Prince” which dealt primarily with the internal mechanics of governance and politics.
A better understanding of his views of relations among states, and his political philosophies in general, can be gained in reading the much more substantial “Discourses.”
By the way, if you really want Machiavellians in charge, vote for the Clintons. They are probably the most successful adherants of the precepts set forth in “The Prince” that America has ever seen.
I just wanted to prove to the paulbots that it’s possible to create a run-on sentence with several different ideas in it, and still manage to be more coherent than anything they’ve ever said.
r2poo we can has morr ideez than u eva can has. plus fred thompson is suxxor peep
hEy Alanor do u constoontlee grillz up sum poo on u bbq grilL? he he he he he HE
#47-
Why do you ask? Are you hungry?
You’re simply a retarded American if you don’t support Paul. And, no, I’m not trying to be funny.
Good thing, #49; you would’ve been a failure there, too.
I don’t know about anyone else, but #49’s rapier-like wit and clear, concise arguments have won the day for me. I’m convinced.
Ron Paul is teh awesome.
Now I need a shower.
