"Look... up in the sky... it's the PaulPot Blimpy!"
I guess Ron Paul was somewhat in earnest when he claimed at the CNN YouTube debate that he had no idea how to spend all of the money his MoveOn.org supporters keep sending him. His volunteers have some ideas about how to spend their own cash...
So now they're resorting to getting the message out on a blimp...
Because so many voters pull the 'GoodYear' lever each election cycle...
Ridiculous... but very "PaulPot-ian!"
The blimp is being financed by Ron Paul supporters, not his campaign. The article even says that. Help me out, I don't understand the point you are trying to make. |

do not like creativity or free market/liberty solutions to problems that those unchained to Beltway conformity might have to offer.
Many Republican elites only pay lip-service to liberty and free market solutions (even in politics).
Many Republican elites pretend to bemoan the entrenched power in D.C., but when a candidate comes along, who thinks-out-of-the-box, and tries something new, the elites whine and cry like a teacher's pet who just got scolded for the first time.
Many Republican control freaks do not believe people ought to have the right to try new methods unless they are given permission to do so. This is why we hear so much incessant whining by the right about anonymity on the internet. As if regular citizens have nothing to fear from power elites in the new media.
When the brilliant Hannah Arendt finished her observations of Adolf Eichmann (she sat through his trial), she came to this conclusion.
Eichmann, and those like him, did not do what they did because they were unconforming radicals (like for example, Ron Paul?). They did what they did because they were "banal" conformists. They were placid, conformist, passionless, dull, and dutiful, non-boat rockers.
Arendt called this condition the "banality of evil". It was the banality of evil (not radicalism) that led to tragedy.
Wikepedia says it this way
"the great evils in history generally, and the Holocaust in particular, were not executed by fanatics or sociopaths but rather by ordinary people who accepted the premises of their state and therefore participated with the view that their actions were normal."
Watch out for Bushbots who sleep well at night knowing 500,000 plus Iraqis have lost their lives as a result of our intelligence errors, then cheerlead to win over these poor broken people, and consider themselves more moral than those who disagree with them.

What a sad attempt at a smear. The Paul campaign isn't spending money on the blimp effort. Just like they didn't spend money on the 11/5 "money bomb". Just like they're not spending money on "Operation Live Free Or Die", nor on the hundreds of thousands of signs, banners and videos that are being produced without campaign funds.
Ron Paul supporters are gladly spending their OWN money to support their candidate. They donate to the campaign, but also make independent expenditures. Independence -- that's something that Soros, McCain/Feingold, and the GOP establishment can't stand.
The "masses", as they think of us, are fed up, pissed off, and rising up.
If Ron Paul is a nut, then Ronald Reagan must have been a stark raving loony:

Supporters of his favorite candidate didn't rent a blimp to promote their candidate for President therefore it would be a 'waste of funds' for the supporters of Paul to do such a thing. If Kevin McCullough's candidate had an advertizing blimp, it would be getting nothing but praise from him. It's all in the perspective... |
|
...As a serious campaign strategy.
I'd put a fork through my hand for being so stupid...
You PaulPots get so defensive all the time....
tsk tsk... |
|
somethign tells me if Hillary attacked your canidate about a blimp he did had nothing to do with, you go on the offensive.
Why do you deny Pual supporters the same? |
|
Come on guy, you really think that MoveOn.org is behind this. A little research would show you that the "money bomb" was financed by some 38,000 people each donating appox. $120 each. How could MoveOn get so many people to donate to a political party without the Media getting wind of this. You say we are kooks and have wild conspiracy theories, look at yourself.
