I just passed a Ron Paul rally here in So Florida
Ron Paul wasn't there, but I walked in and saw all these Lifesize cardboard replicas of Reagan with Ron Paul about 20 of them. It was frightening.
Mostly young people 18=30 about 300 people. They are all planning to go to every major stop here in Ft Lauderdale . They said they raise 40,000 dollars for his campaign in small donations for Paul.
I asked why they weren't supporting HuckaTROLL, they said he was MORE liberal than Hillary.

The goopers are getting ready to eat their own en masse.
YIPEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

1. I saw the Ron Paul blimp between Orlando and Tampa on New Years' Day

I've also noticed lots of Rom Paul signs in Tampa (mostly on the roadside and not at people's houses). It's all very bizarre.

3. It's like "Home of the Ron Paul Snipe Signs" around here.

5. That damned blimp went right over my house.
Noisy, garish, and behind the times. Seems to sum up Paul beautifully.

2. While a lot of people on this planet are more liberal than Hillary
I don't think Mike Huckleberry is one of them.

4. Only the young can possibly support a libertarian dreamer
like Ron Paul. That's why his group didn't have any wizened, grey bearded and wise attendees.

You begin to discover libertarianism is pure horseshit when you get out into the real world and realize just how much power you have against a phalanx of rabid lawyers the average corporation can summon against you.

6. Ron Paul is the only one who can save us...
...from the evil Federal Reserve and the Illuminati.

I heard it on the intertubes, so it MUST be true!

8. I bet you can make a little money off them by seling Ron Paul merchandise
I've thought about some that might be appropriate.

The Ron Paul straight jacket: Emblazoned with his logo on the back, it'll come in handy when they realize he hasn't a chance in hell of being elected. Fashionably appropriate for Paulnuts in solitary confinement.

Ron Paul designer rose colored glasses: They help the Paulnut look past his antichoice and racist record.

The Ron Paul piggy bank: It has a hole in the bottom leading to the trashcan so they can continue throwing their money away after the election.

The Ron Paul action figure: Unfortunately this product had to be recalled, since when placed in the light of reality, they burst into flame and were a hazard.

9. Yes, sounds good for us.
Let's hope they thoroughly self-destruct, even before the general!
