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…

Ron Paul Delivers

The Ron Paul revolution is a crazy ride. With all the energy in this grass roots phenomenon you never know what you’re gonna get, hence the Ron Paul sex offender delivery van:

Or as a friend said: “is Ron Paul punking people now?”

Honk for Ron Paul, LOL, right on brutha.

***Update***

Apparently this van gets around, here is a separate photo at a different location, a close up.

***Update II***

And of course the campain is not compete without this. What is really amazing is that this kind of effort is done by volunteers and supporters without any real direction by the campaign, at least as far as I am aware of. Join the Revolution, VOTE RON PAUL!

 

***Update III***

Ok, so I’ll stop updating with the seemingly endless kick ass Ron Paul mobiles. This one is too genius to not post.

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.

Ron Paul takes on the war, to music
