“Ron Paul: We have you surrounded. We are the media,” sounded the voice from a megaphone as Paul staffers ushered him into a waiting SUV, just minutes after he arrived at the restaurant.
Holding the megaphone was a man dressed roughly as a wizard, with shaggy hair and tousled beard, wearing a massive black boot upside down on his head.
One woman, dressed all in red with a colonial-style blue hat, waited for Paul while carrying a 4-by-3-foot sign showing Paul — an obstetrician — wearing green scrubs and holding a baby wrapped in an American flag.
Paul decided to grant only one interview at the event, to Fox News’s Brett Baeir. Halfway inside his SUV, Paul took questions for about five minutes from the cable news anchor while reporters strained to hear his answers, then shut the door.
Not all of those who crammed the restaurant early Monday to see the Republican presidential hopeful were amused by the spectacle.
Shoving her way through the hoard of reporters, Karen Hiller found her way to Paul’s SUV and demanded he come back to the restaurant and meet the voters he would be facing at the ballot box on Tuesday.
“It’s the people of New Hampshire he’s supposed to meet,” she exclaimed.
“I agree,” said one of Paul’s aides. “That’s why we did it for a full year.”
As Paul’s SUV departed the restaurant, Hiller explained that her 90-year-old mother, Bea Hiller-Roth, split her time between Florida and New Hampshire, but had flown up to the Granite State to vote in the primary.
“She really wanted to meet him. She was really waiting to meet him,” said her daughter. “I think he lost some votes.”
Wizards and their followers vote.
Think she'll vote twice?
Ron Paul is a huge threat to the Republican Party, and to the Democrat party.
Ron talks about crazy things like the Constitution; the Bill of Rights; getting rid of the Federal Reserve, IMF, UN, World Bank, Department of Education, Department of Energy, etc.; Ron talks about strange things like cutting spending, cutting spending by trillions of dollars, gold, and Congressional Declarations of War.
If only thw wizard had turned him into a Newt!
“Holding the megaphone was a man dressed roughly as a wizard, with shaggy hair and tousled beard, wearing a massive black boot upside down on his head.”
You sure that wasn’t Pauls’ campaign manager?
Might get a kick out of this one, Onyx...that guy with the boot on his head? That gentleman is a candidate for President of the United States in Red Hampshire...check his pocket...I believe that is campaign literature and bumper stickers. He ran in 2008, and I suspect he is on the ballot tomorrow, as well...you might want to ‘ping’ any interested parties to this thread if you need a good laugh.

I agree with Ron Paul on every point you have listed above, but there is a lot about him like his foreign policy that just scares me away from him. Though I would rather have Ron Paul in there than an absolute RINO like Huntsman or Romney to an extent.
Dr. Demento is also perfectly fine with Iran getting nukes and think that we deserved 9/11 because we support Israel.
Ron Paul supporters should get lobotomies but they do not have the requisite material TO WORK WITH!!!!
Just to clarify...Vermin is on the DEMOCRAT ballot...he’s running against Zero.
Haha. Go, Vermin Supreme!
Maybe I’m confused but is this a group of kooks who is not supporting Ron Paul? Or is he just afraid of his own whimsical following?
Yep,
Democratic Party presidential candidates, 2012
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_%28United_States%29_presidential_candidates,_2012
Vermin Supreme, performance artist and perennial candidate, from Massachusetts.[11][12] He has previously campaigned in the primaries for the Democratic Party in 2004 and the New Hampshire primary for the Republican Party in 2008. Supreme has now qualified for the primary ballot in New Hampshire.
No...Mr. Supreme is running for President on the DEMOCRAT side in Red Hampshire tomorrow...NH ballots are pretty interesting...
Sadly, some wizard-like dude with a boot on his head and a magaphone MAY be a better candidate than anyone the republicrats are running right now...
Paul is a liar. The only thing Paul has any use for the Constitution is when he needs to wipe..... (you finish the thought)
Paul talks about cutting spending while adding millions of dollars in earmarks to his bills.
The only thing you need to know about Ron Paul is that he’s a kook.
“Though I would rather have Ron Paul in there than an absolute RINO like Huntsman or Romney to an extent.”
The most important question of the election of 2012, is, who do you most want to choose the next 3 Supreme Court Justices?
Which presidential candidate will pick judges most likely to uphold individual freedoms such as limited federal government, Right to Bear Arms, Freedom from Search, States Rights, etc?
He could have beat Huntsman, but he switched to the Dems this election cycle...
“Vermin Supreme is an American performance artist, anarchist and activist who is known for his being a satirical candidate in the United States in various local, State, and national elections. Supreme is known for wearing a boot-shaped hat and carrying a large toothbrush. He claims that if elected President of the United States he will pass a law requiring people to brush their teeth. He also campaigned in 2012 on a platform of Zombie apocalypse awareness, and promises a pony for every American…
…
In 2006, Vermin Supreme underwent a kidney transplantation to save his mother. In 2011, he declared that if he became President, he would make kidney transplantation compulsory for everyone.”
He seems to have a more coherent platform than MOST democrats...
