Default RON PAUL 2012!!!!

This is a thrad to celebrate the exciting campaign force with two first names
Online Etymology Dictionary:Ronald: :
Quote:
masc. proper name, from O.N. Rögnvaldr "Having the Gods' Power," from rögn "gods," lit. "decreeing powers" (pl. of regin "decree") + valdr "ruler."
And Paul:
Quote:
masc. proper name, from L. Paulum (nom. Paulus), Roman surname of the Aemilian gens, lit. "small" (see paucity). Cf. O.Fr. Pol, It. Paolo, Sp. Pablo, Rus. Pavel.
Also, this thread is because every time ChuckF reads the words Ron Paul 2012 he pees a little.

And this thread is to help wayward souls in search of a place to express just how much they want to rock the world with Ron Paul in 2012. Let all know the awesomeness of Paul the Elder.

And I'll start the love-in. As much as I truly despise much of his platform and ethos around government and economics, I do love it when he talks about Iraq and US foreign policy at the Republican debates- they hate him so much for it, and it makes them extremely uncomfortable. They work so hard to ignore him in the GOP and the media.

Also I'm hoping I can get some ideas for Paul 2012 campaign slogans.

Let your sekret lolbertarian hair down. Smoke some of ITSOZAZ's skunky Canadian bud. Dodge some taxes. Close your eyes when you touch yourself for an invisible hand-job. Imagine the beauty of untamed market forces and the profit motive as the highest aspiration of equality under maximized money-making meritocratic magnificence. Hoard some gold.

Ron it.

Whew! Ron is here to rescue you Merkins from the Obamacare Nazi Death Squad Eugenicists! We don't have a Ron Paul here in Europestan, which is why anyone over 65 here tries to avoid hospitals, where gangs of sullenly menacing government workers hang about the hallways looking for elderly people to pressure into euthanasia. In fact, if we see snow near a hospital in mid-august, we just hurry on and try not to look at it.

More than a little.

A couple of weeks ago I was stopped at an intersection and I was very excited to see signs of the freedom revolution, nailed to the utility pole. So I took a picture, and I am glad to have an opportunity to share it.



RONPAUL!

You are not getting the true symbolic meaning. When thinking of what the proper reaction to the news of him standing for election would be, this man came up with a solution that is striking in it's elegant simplicity: Hang Ron Paul On The Nearest Utility Pole.

Yup


Rick Santorum keeps on trying to attack Paul whenever he says things like this, and he always comes off like an idiot. Although perhaps not to American jingoists.

It is pretty badly done, despite being a pretty damn good point. He's practically shouting halfway through, and it doesn't make any sense, you feel like asking him "why are you shouting? I'm right here!"

I love the way he says "or Russia" in the beginning, though. Epic.

Yeah, it looks like one of those projects that was the product of one person or a very small group. The technical capability is clearly there, but the execution (and especially the editing) is so poor that the bad presentation almost completely obscures the message. Sometimes it verges on the comical ("or Russia!"), often incomprehensible because of a bad narrator with a bad script, and occasionally nauseating with the rotating-transcript concept. Finally the producers reveal themselves to be big Godspeed You! Black Emperor fans with the extended low-fi RONPAUL at the end. The net effect is "Wow, Jared Loughner learned Flash." It could have been really effective if there had been someone from the outside to provide a little editing guidance. But such is RONPAUL.

The thing is Paul is telling the truth about ending war and empire.

He's also right about the War on Drugs if I am not mistaken.

It's just that he's so spectacularly wrong about almost everything else...
