The tragedy is that after 8 months, and a lot of rhetoric, Ron Paul finds himself in a statistical deadheat with me. Figure in the margin of error (which is always at least 3%) and his 2% is statistically the same as my 0%. What is needed is a new outlook, and a new direction. Here are some ideas. Several of them pertain to expanding awareness on the net. The reason for this is that it appears to be the only place his supporters ever go. I’ve seen one Ron Paul bumper sticker, and that was on a car that had a driver doing 45 in the fast lane.
1. Buy Ron Paul a cat. I canhazcheeseburger folk are as rabid as ron paul bloggers. Plus, there are one helluva lot more of them.
2. Start all posts pertaining to Ron Paul with the words breasts, lust, sex, blowjob, orgy, or menage a trois. Nothing is expanding interest so far based on poll numbers, and this will ensure a new group of people see your writing.
3. Change his name to Ron Clinton. That woman(bill clinton did not have sex with her either) is doing way better than Paul, and has given the American public every reason not to trust her. It has to be the name.
4. Photo shop some pictures of him with a babe. Fred Thompson isn’t even in the race and he is kicking Ron Paul’s ass. The hottie wife can’t be hurting him in the polls.
5. get him some xanax. I like him, but face it. He was so strident in the last debate you’d swear someone had expanded the constitution to include protection for gays and gummy bear sex.
6.STFU. You never say anything anyway, and your insane attack pauliac rhetoric is turning off the electorate. He has some good ideas with some real dumbasses projecting them to the world.
7. Drink less. No, really. It’s obviously a problem based on the drunken comments I get about how much his movement has grown. I’m sorry…he has been at no more than 2% since day one. Thats not growth.
8. Release a work out video…good god, the mans neck looks like a roll of dimes. No sex appeal, no charisma. Buying suits at the childrens section at JCPenney’s isn’t going to get the churchlady vote.
9. Something new. I’m sure you’re tired of hearing this, but we know Ron Paul. We knew everything he had to say within 15 minutes….now what? This is a contest, dingbats. You are losing because it looks like you’re snoozing.
10. hire me as campaign manager. No forget that. I’m not taking a pay cut, and getting my ass kicked by a mormon named Mitt, and a NYC italian that looks amazingly like Mussolini isn’t an attractive career move.
Stay mad. Stay really mad, and never try to put forth a coherent thought when you comment toward the opposition, or even the undecided. You guys are so pissed off even your moms won’t talk to you anymore. I know…it’s because you are right and everyone else is wrong, but telling us that all the time just makes us want to kick your ass.
The Ron Paul ultimatum
July 25, 2007My favorite line is “go read what he wrote about….” Do you really think that everyone that does not support Ron Paul is to ignorant to have taken the time to track his policy decisions, to read his speeches from the floor of the house, and to check out his campaign site? Is everyone that doesn’t support Ron Paul to stupid to formulate an opinion based on that research?
It just may be that we have read him. It could be that we just don’t totally agree with him. Is that so hard to believe? Maybe I think abortion is a personal choice. Maybe I believe people should have to go through rigorous checks before they are allowed to purchase an M-60 machine gun. Maybe I think the gold standard is an idiotic and outdated method of running a monetary system, and just maybe, and I know this is a stretch, I think state government running my life would be worse for me than the fed doing it.
He has a lot of ideas, but doesn’t explain how he will pay for them with his new small government. He wants to protect our coastlines and our borders, but doesn’t explain how he will do so without creating a gigantic federal bureaucracy to accomplish the task.
He has a lot of obfuscations and dodges for why he doesn’t vote on issues that are of grave concern to the american populace. He wraps himself in the constitution like it is the holy grail of federal politics, but then on his own campaign site he advocates gutting the 5th and the fourteenth amendments.
I’m sorry. I respect your opinions and your desire to follow this man who on many levels I agree with. unfortunately, I am of the opinion that he advocates a lot of things he can’t make happen. Ron Paul is quite likely a very good person. He is also a major league anachronism. A man who talks about change after 20 years inside the beltway. He is not the saviour of our country. He is just another small piece of the problem, albeit a fairly original one.
