Dennis Kucinich For Supreme Commander
I flipped over to the Democratic debates last night for a few minutes. I had to turn it off after just a few minutes due to the overuse of the words “progressive”, “tax”, “program”, etc. I even commented on Rogel’s blog before I went to bed that I just couldn’t take it. Too bad I [...]
I’m Doubting Any Republican Can Win
If you saw the debates last night you know why. Most of these guys can only talk about Hillary or Ronald Reagan. If they aren’t doing that, they are trying to squeeze pre-written jokes. Ron Paul and Tom Tancredo are the only two with anything different to say. Tancredo can’t get his ideas across, and [...]
Ron Paul 5th in Iowa Straw Poll
It wasn’t 3rd place like some were predicting, but it wasn’t 7th like others were predicting either. So the question is, what now? Does Dr. Paul continue pursuing the Republican nomination (not likely to win), or does he explore other options with a third party. Personally, I like the option of staying with the Rs [...]
Ron Paul is Not Ron Paul Enough
Extreme Mortman has a hilarious list of why Ron Paul is not libertarian enough. It was partly meant as an experiment to see how many Ron Paul supporters would flock to anything said about Ron Paul if his name was in a post, which is pretty dead on–did I mention it was a list about [...]
Ron Paul on Morton Downey Jr.
Saw this posted at Reason and had to put it up here too, it’s just too funny. Ron Paul is so young in this clip (1988). I’d love to see him this energetic and rowdy in the Republican debates. However, legalization of drugs would not go well with that crowd. They are probably happy this [...]
Ron Paul’s Appeal to the Technoclass
No one can deny Ron Paul’s support and presence online is pretty amazing. How can a guy be so huge in the online community, yet still considered an outsider in the mainstream conversation? I’ve written before about the issues that mainstream media has dealing with the Paul campaign, but it is frustrating to be on [...]
Rejected 2008 Campaign Slogans
I was reading some old posts on the debates and post debate interviews and thought it would be funny to make up some campaign slogans for the Republican candidates. Feel free to play along… Mitt Romney–Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful, I’m also a Mormon. John McCain–Vote McCain! Did I read the queue card right? [...]
Ron Paul on Tucker Carlson
I’ve been noticing recently the drastic difference in the agility with which Ron Paul handles questions from reporters and in debates in contrast to the other candidates. Most of the candidates usually seem either rehearsed or completely caught off guard, depending on the question. Tommy Thompson is a great example. He looks completely rehearsed and [...]
Post Debate Coverage Part VIII — Hunter
Paul still winning…but Romney is closing in. It’s like they think Ron Paul is the Sanjaya of the debates. The difference is that Sanjaya was getting enough votes to stay on the show. Ron Paul is actually leading. Sooner or later they’ll have to pay attention to him. Hunter is a real dumbass if he [...]
Live Blogging of the South Carolina Debate Part II
After the break… Question 21: That’s funny that Gilmore lumps those three together. I like to do that with “Republicrats”. He is doing a great job of not naming names. And now he’s naming names. This could get good. Question 22: Guiliani is basically asking McCain to be his running mate. I guess he’s been [...]
