American hero, gynecologist and presidential candidate Ron Paul is gearing up for a huge weekend. He could win a primary! Okay, so it’s only in Maine, and he’s the only candidate who visited the state, but, still!
But, once again, it’s not all Ameros gold and rainbows for Ron Paul. Previously, Paul supporters had a blimp, which is now grounded. The blimp’s backers have an outstanding balance to the blimp company. Earlier this week a group of supporters wanted to sponsor a race car at the Daytona 500, but have now dropped out out of the, uh, race:
As you all can see the vicious lies and attacks on Ron Paul Racing are not stopping, the time and resources spent all week have been too much for our small organization to swat down. Every word in our prior statement is true and verifiable.
We tried to be as open and honest as possible while maintain our ability to discuses options for our car sponsorship with the top people in the industry. Nobody in their right mind will now. I can say we were close to three different deals that would have been mind blowing.
The way I see it, either (a) Wonkette killed Ron Paul Racing or (b) Ron Paul Racing imploded. When are Paul’s supporters going to take a cue from this ridiculous Hillary Clinton ad and start skydiving to support the good OB-GYN? (See, that would be good because some of their chutes wouldn’t open.)

This is great news, now I can safely return to my welfare line.
D-MAC you are my hero. Keep me up to date!
Whew! For a moment there, we were in danger of having an end to overseas wars, a sound dollar, a balanced budget, and an elimination of the Income Tax.
Thank goodness we dodged that bullet and can go back to policing the world and bankrupting the country.
On the other hand, Ron Paul still has plenty of money. (It looks like another million dollars is trickling in today.) What if this nut-job sticks with it, slowly gathering delegates here and there, all the way to a brokered convention!?
We could suddenly find ourselves forced to discuss *gasp* THE ISSUES!!!
Let’s hope you’re right, and Paul’s upcoming strong finish in Maine will finish him off. Or something.
I am sure the comments posted on the wonkette site mirror those made in England, when they where presented with out Declaration of Independence.
While Barack Obama and others toys with the rhetoric of challenging conventional wisdom, Paul’s campaign — for better or worse — actually does so, and does so in an extremely serious, thoughtful and coherent way.
The fact is, Paul appropriately addresses the issues that America faces. There is no doubt that Social Seucurity is crumbling. Rogue economists who set out to buy the Democrats some time cannot overwhelm the weight of economic wisdom that a system of IOUs backed by IOUs that the government writed to itself, cannot sustain.
The value of the dollar is deteriorating and inflation will be our next biggest financial crisis. Greenspan himself said this in an recent interview.
The cost of our war is increasing with no visible end. Not to mention the cost of maintaining troops deployed all over the world. All of these put together are recipe for financial collapse.
While conventional politicians, idiots like Daniel McQuade, and other media hacks who do not have the metal capacity to grasp the ‘big’ picture, go to great efforts to push problems down the line, Paul stands for the idea that we can address them now, and on out terms. One thing is sure, though: we *will* be addressing them.
Wow - if you spent some of that huge effort educating yourself instead of trying to be funny you would realize just how stupid you actually are !
Its like watching someone get the last word by shooting himself.
yo my name is ron paul i’m the people’s champ
AHHHHA! I love the comment above me.
he IS the people’s champ.
dmac - what happened to the brief ray of love you had in your last RP post?
If you’ve got sand in your vagina, I know a guy who can get it out! :P
john, please be more boring.
oh wait, that’s impossible
The Maine Caucuses last 3 days, so when you come back to posting, D-Mac, I hope we see a nice write-up about his win. :D
A three day caucus? That’s excellent, if Ron Paul wins it will be the greatest day on the Internet EVER.
Actually, the greatest day in the 2008 election so far, and a landmark in American Politics.
A Ron Paul win shows he isn’t entirely a “fringe” candidate but prove that he has what it takes to win. I think that with the Republican base frantically looking for a real conservative that isn’t John McCain, they’ll start taking a second-look at Ron Paul an realize that they will get just that, only he’s anti-Iraq War. I think that’s the only turn-off to the Republican Base.
Ron Paul is a blowhard with no substance.
Pssst, um… guys… Ron Paul can’t win the election.
And, uh, it won’t be because of the media or people not ready to see the truth or whatever… it will be because he’s certifiably insane.
I just thought I should tell you now, you know, so you don’t embarrass yourselves. I know its a lot to take in but, yeah, better you find out now rather than later. You’re welcome.
Right now, the 4 front runners are a sellout, a corporate CEO rat, a guy with no experience, and a woman who lies.
Ron Paul might be insane, but he’s the sanest man in the loony bin.
I just feel badly for all the pets of Paultards, who will be stuck in microwaves across the country by their wild-eyed, unstable owners when he goes oh-for-53.
All right, I’ll bite.
If any of you “Ron Paul Supporters” can give me valid reasons that are not — ARE NOT! — found in his talking points memo, I’ll give the guy who thinks Hitler’s greatest failure was forgetting to pay the gas bill a second look.
K?
K.
chriso: I have to say, that’s the same complaint I have about Obama supporters; All filler, no killer.
Well, I like to just give the headlines so here they are:
End the War in Iraq
Abolish the IRS
End embargo against Cuba
Supports Net Neutrality
Eliminate the PATRIOT ACT
Supports Stem Cell Research
End Drug Prohibition
anyone who has run against Ron Paul knows how unbelievably fleetfooted he can be
Ron Paul is my hero.
I find it rude and ironic to call him an American Hero and still belittle him!
RON PAUL FOREVER!!! LONG LIVE RON PAUL!!
NEVER WILL WE SURRENDER!!!!!!
@Josh
No, irony is ascribing something reserved for a monarch — “LONG LIVE RON PAUL!!” — to the “libertarian” candidate.
Zing!
The hell with politics. Where’s the Puppy Bowl IV liveblog?!?!?
Now I keep thinking of Ron Paul in GI Joe garb…REAL AMERICAN HEEERROOOOOOA
Did anyone look at Josh’s myspace link? It’s like a Ron Paul/Sufjan Stevens orgy.
An unlikely pair that would make ugly, ugly babies.
I would think as so-called Libertarians you would respect my right to call American Hero Ron Paul a Fuck-Faced, Douche-Chugging, Black Face-Wearing, Butt Plug-Stuffing, Flaming Bag of Shit.
But apparently not.
After Bush and Clinton and Bush we now have Clinton winning again, despite 70% of all Americans not being “quite happy” about the State of Union.
Do you really think we have true elections?

Ron Paul Racing has arisen phoenix-like from its ashes but they may not reach their donation target to make this happen. It was inexperience and infighting not a snarky blogger that stalled the effort initially.
