"Who is Ron Paul?"
The phrase is scrawled across a stark placard — stuck on a roadside bridge in the heart of liberal Maryland. The sign over the Capital Beltway commands attention from passing commuters through its sheer simplicity and homespun insistence.
And it's one of hundreds — perhaps thousands — of handmade posters, billboards, bumper stickers and banners that have multiplied around the country, crafted by those who want Rep. Ron Paul of Texas to win the Republican nomination for president.
Mr. Paul appears today at the National Press Club to discuss the state of his campaign finances. He has raised $8.3 million this year, according to numbers released Monday by the Federal Election Commission.
But money alone is not driving the campaign. It's zeal and spunk, perhaps.

So many signs have been posted around Orlando, in fact, that local officials issue citations to Paul fans, who insist on their right to free speech — even in public areas that ban signs of any sort.

We had a Ron Paul supporter speak at our Prince William County Board of Supervisors meeting last night, during citizens time, when they were debating our anti-illegal-immigrant proposal.
I couldn’t really tell what he was talking about at first, it sounded like he was comparing our attempt to stop mexicans with what we would do if real mexican soldiers were in the streets with weapons. Then I realised he was making a “comparison” to the Iraq war, suggesting that our attempt to remove illegal immigrants was just like Iraqi Al Qaeda blowing up civilians to try to get us to leave Iraq.
Then he said “Vote Ron Paul”. And it all made sense, in a non-sensical sort of way.
But in the meantime, he had a lot of the pro-resolution folks going, because he was basically making their point that, if the mexicans were taking over our country by force, we’d be up in arms, so why should we sit back and just “take it” when they are doing so through a “non-violent” invasion?
I'd Google the other guys but I might arrive at some dead links.
Can't they don't. The Paul groundswell simply isn't noticed, it's a media conspiracy, possibly conducted by the RJC, Frontpagemagazine and the neocons who hijacked the administration.
That will all be clear come election day.
Then we have the comic opera (or Keystone Kops) notion of letters of marque and reprisal to (apparently) legiimatize modern day Blackbeards to teach our enemies a lesson (otr not since paleoPaulie really doesn't care except insofar as he can skinflint the military). AVAST, MATEY!!!!
Then we have "pro-life" paleoPaulie who simultaneously iles a bill to abolish abortion while maintaining to the pro-aborts that they can rest assured since the constitution deprive the fedgov of jurisdiction over the issue (ya know, like SCOTUS will concede that notion). Likewise lavender make-believe "marriage" because, after all, why should paleoPaulie care???? He thinks he needs every vote and some college age queer activists might not vote for him if he were to fight against eccentric make-believe posing as "marriage." Twelvesomes involvinganimals and space aliens, anyone???? PaleoPaulie's your man.
If anyone is volunteering for paleoPaulie, that alone is proof that such a person is very far below ordinary.
Dr. Demento is the single most deranged POTUS candidate EVER seen in a GOP nomination race. Fortunately the stooge will lose his Congressional nomination as punishment for his POTUS campaign. Buh-bye, Paulie!!!!
The Jihad is all giddy with your Ron Paul enthusiasm.
Your cognitive dissonance is truly amazing.
That racists support and neonazis support Ron Paul is a fact.
That he’s let himself be portrayed as a columnist in hate publications, including print, though the web likes him too, is a fact.
There are expressions addressing that, usually starting with lying down with dogs (apologies to dogs) or pigs (apologies to the pigs too).
They can’t help getting fleas or wallowing in the muck. Candidates who either accept, or turn a blind eye, to this support can’t claim that.
That’s a fact too, not cognitive dissonance
You don’t like the scum that supports your candidate, that’s for you to deal with, not me.
Code Pink, progressives, sure they support him. That’s embarrassing too, but we all know they’re not going Ron Paul in an actual election. They have the same obsession that many Paul supporters do, that by applying primary pressure Republicans will adopt a pull out now strategy. Won’t happen they’re not your friends either.
As to your contention that Paul has the groundswell of support, and the other candidates are a bunch of dopes, we’re going to find out, aren’t we.
Black Elk, is that awesome or what.
Thousands of supporters. Imagine, when primaries roll around could be 5% of Republicans, maybe 2% of the electorate.
He couldn't kick Hillary's behind, as big as it is.
EEE, next time, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. This is a Presidential race.
And, lest anyone forget, you favored Julie Annie before you favored Dr. Demento.
Who knows, by their usual standards of exaggeration, there may be billions and billions of paleoPauliebots and other paleoPaulistinians among the 300 million Americans. And, and, they are each ten feet tall AND they are each in the military too!
EEE: You forgot the Truthers, the Venusian aliens, those whose career geographic and political goal is Uranus, the baby killers, Al Qaeda, Islamic Jihad, International A.N.S.W.E.R., refugees from Woodstock, the Haight Ashbury Alumni Association, anti-nuclear activists, vegetoonians, libertoonians, paleop[eacecreeps.....
