Ron Paul shocks the world with 24hr fundraising

$4.3 million in one day! Pretty freaking amazing. Paul is known for his internet following and you may wish to cynically compare his efforts to Howard Dean’s falter but Paul is something real.  Take straw polls fwtw but Paul placed first, edging out hometown favorite Rudy, in the New York Straw Poll!  While the GOP fails to take him seriously you can’t ignore his war chest, although not backed by gold, is unusually large for such a “long shot.”  I know the focus is on the GOP nomination but an independent candidacy would bring even larger support from both sides.  He may not have enough cash to get on the ballot as an independent in all states but perhaps just enough to give the GOP establishment the middle finger, the same GOP establishment who has seemingly abandoned core principles of small government, spending, etc.  GOP needs to think twice before kicking around Ron Paul.  How easy they forget the effect of Ross Perot in 1992 and Pat Buchanan in 2000…

Ole Dennis Kucinich says that the

“The Constitution has been under attack by this administration,” Kucinich told an reporter during the vote, and his effort is “part of a growing movement” to defend it. - WashPost

Perhaps he should just vote for Ron Paul. Problem solved. On a related note, I took one of those “who is your candidate” quizzes that I fucking hate (I hate being classified and categorized by a 5-10 question yes or no quiz) after being prodded by a friend. The magic quiz told me I aligned most with Ron Paul (guess it is accurate in that sense) and told me Kicinich was a close second. Interesting that the two seen as the party “extremes” come out so close.

At Least Fred Knows What We All (Should) Know…

that he won’t be the next president.  Is he just havin a little retirement fun, raisin his status and stature, strokin the ego, doin it cuz Jerri wants some big time experience in the biz?  The joke of a candidacy will end soon enough in failure.  Now at least we know Freddie isn’t that dumb, he apparently realizes that an empty candidate can only get so far.

Watch this shit

and try to tell me what this old babbling fucker is saying:

What, you don’t speak “old babbling fucker?” Perhaps that’s my problem as well. First he says he is against abortion regulations but then comes around and says that he believes that life begins at conception and has voted 100% pro-life. He even uses liberal language about how he’s against criminalizing abortion and young girls and then says that he saw his baby kickin around in Jerri.

He is often confused and desperately trying to reconcile his own past/present position to align with GOP voters. He is such a ignorant fraud of a candidate. One of the main reasons he gets this far is cause of his political consultant wife. No way he could figure this shit out on his own. Does he even have a platform yet, beyond “common sense conservatism” and “federalism?”

WTF Obama?

Does he think he is a sports player or something that doesn’t have to put his hand over his heart during the national anthem or pledge of allegiance at the Harkin Steak Fry. Damn commie, that is stupid politics right there. I was going to continue to refer to him as Brock, the Americanized name I gave him, but shit no, not now, he ain’t no American.

What a Bummer:

Tancredo won’t seek re-election

We are sure to be overrun with the ensuing flood of immigrants moments after he leaves office. Why must this savior leave us when we need him most? Will he run for Senate? Oh, I forgot he is going to be president.

Ron Paul takes on the war, to music

Pertinent Question For Freddie

Since Fool Fred has kicked off his sluggish campaign has anyone asked him what exactly he does want to do that only a president can do? Bomb aspirin factories? Of course, a response might require too much energy from his self-professed lazy ass.
