"No Army Can Stop An Idea Whose Time Has Come": Ron Paul Exits the Presidential Race?

Libertarian Republican, Ron Paul, has seemingly ended his active campaign for the Republican nomination. Paul gathered with supporters in Texas tonight to "make an announcement" which apparently meant, finalizing the official campaign. Paul definitely made his mark on American politics and showed us that maybe government power isn't all its cracked up to be, on all levels. His campaign website offers a bit of thanks to his supporters and also lights the fire for future endeavors to help continue the "Revolution" against government tyranny.

Lets look back at some of the most memorable and important moments in the 2008 Ron Paul primary campaign.

Ron Paul's answer to a question about his ability to win the election, which was censored from re-broadcasts of the debate.


Ron Slams Rudy Guiliani's lack of knowledge of terrorism in the Fox South Carolina Debates


Ron Paul explains why the War on Drugs is racist and bad for minority groups in America.


Ron Paul Makes McCain look like an idiot on economics at the MSNBC Florida debates.


A Great CGI ad for Ron Paul.

Ron Paul Plans His Own Convention; McCain Confuses Ron Paul with Ron Jeremy

Ron Paul isn't waiting for an invitation to speak at the Republican National Convention. Hell, he could barely get on Fox News Debates. I like Paul's moxie: "Fuck 'em" He says, "I'll have my own convention in Minneapolis."

But with McMaverick as the Republican candidate for President, anything's possible. Maybe McCain will introduce Ron Paul as his VP...not because he is his running mate, but just because McCain forgot who else he chose, or got confused or something. He's just as likely to refer to Ron Paul as the President of Germany, or something.



Or maybe McCain't-Keep-My-Shit-Straight will confuse Ron Paul and Ron Jeremy the way he confuses Sunni and Shi'a:

Ron Paul Number 1 on Amazon

CNN
Ron Paul’s loyal supporters helped him set campaign fundraising records and capture more delegates during his presidential run than some of his high-profile Republican rivals. They even managed to briefly shut down Nevada’s GOP convention earlier this month over a rules change controversy.

Now they’ve taken his latest book to the top of the Amazon.com bestseller list.

“The Revolution: A Manifesto”, released earlier this month, is currently No. 1 on the Web site’s list of top sellers, besting even Oprah’s latest Book Club selection.

“Despite a media blackout, this septuagenarian physician-turned-congressman sparked a movement that has attracted a legion of young, dedicated, enthusiastic supporters . . . a phenomenon that has amazed veteran political observers and made more than one political rival envious,” boasts the book’s product description, adding: “Candidates across America are already running as ‘Ron Paul Republicans.’”


Here is an interesting quote about the above mentioned GOP walkout at the Nevada GOP State Convention from the Reno Gazette Journal:

Paul spokesman Jeff Greenspan said the walkout was a first in his 21-year career in politics.

"I've seen factions walk out, I've never seen a party walk out," he said. "I've never even heard of that."

Clinton Wins and Ron Paul Surges in Pennsylvania

L.A. Times

While some people pay attention to the alleged contest between Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama (and she won big), almost unnoticed is the Republican primary.

Many people think Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain has won the GOP nomination.

Actually, he has. A long time ago.

But Texas Rep. Ron Paul's revolutionaries continue to plug away. With 45% of Pennsylvania's 9,268 precincts reporting, Paul has captured 15% of the vote. He's easily beating former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who has only 12%.

Two things will moderate joy in the Paul camp. One, Huckabee suspended his campaign and stopped campaigning weeks ago. Yet, he's still getting 12%. And second, McCain is capturing 73% of the GOP vote -- which was apparently reduced by some thousands of Republicans who changed their registration to vote Democratic for Clinton, as ordered by their leader, Rush Limbaugh, to promote further prolonged feuding among Democrats.

On the other hand, Paul will point out, McCain has already won the party's top ticket spot and yet is drawing only 3 out of 4 Republican ballots.

Ron Paul Warns of Global Economic Collapse

Raw Story

In the House, Ron Paul recently spoke to his fellow congress members about the economic dangers we face. His speech focused more on how we need to change philosophy not accounting methods.
But the main point is the war and how much we are spending on our "empire" around the world. There's no way to start bringing down the deficit and saving the dollar without seriously looking at what we're spending on foreign military adventures.

Ron Paul Slams Bernanke in Congress, Again: "History is Against You"

Presidential candidate Congressman Ron Paul takes FED chairman Ben Bernanke to task once again in a House Financial Services Committee meeting today in Washington. Paul lets loose on the FED chairman about their destructive activity that is destroying the value of the dollar. Bernanke, like clockwork, gives his same old tired response about the CPI, which does NOT comprehensively account for all of the areas of "consumer cost". Frankly, its just a ridiculous response. Bernanke really ends up having no choice but to admit that Paul is right.

The Disgusting CNN Republican Debates in California

Okay. So you might remember my recent post titled "The Disgusting MSNBC Republican Debates". Well, tonight was CNN's turn to look like a completely fucking biased network. They held their Republican debates tonight at the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley. Anyways, as you would expect Ron Paul sat there most of the time while McMurder and Shit Romney battled about who was more insane. This thing was almost unbearable to watch. At one point, Ron Paul finally got to answer a question, and about 2 sentences in, Paul was cut off rather forcefully by Anderson "I'm just Ex-CIA that's cool right" Cooper. Cooper than assured Paul that he would get a chance to answer those topics in about "2 minutes". Guess what, I watched the rest of the thing and hmmm, Cooper never got back to that one. Nice try CNN. This was so blatantly obvious that you were 1) Blacking out Ron Paul and 2) Trying to re-create the ratings sensation that was the Clinton/Obama feud that we couldn't stop seeing in the media just a week or so ago. So fucking transparent.
Here's a little sunshine on an otherwise depressing and war mongering Dictator festival that was these debates: This is Ron Paul immediately after the long winded "he said/she said" that Mitt and McCain took 10 minutes to debate.

Rudy Thanks Ron Paul


In his concession speech, Rudy tries some snide humor, which really just belies his total bankruptcy of ideas...

"Thanks to Ron Paul too, he won every debate!"

As a matter of fact, Rudy, Ron Paul DID win every debate. Not only that, he beat you in Iowa, New Hampshire and bunch of other places, too. Oh, and he's still in the race, competing for delegates to bring to the convention. How many delegates will Rudy bring? ZERO.

I only wish Rudy's flame out was more embarrassing and pathetic than it was. What a total fucking waste of skin.

Arlo Guthrie Endorses Ron Paul


Austin American Statesman


Arlo Guthrie, the well known folk musician and son of American folk music icon Woody Guthrie, has apparently endorsed Congressman Ron Paul for president.

“I love this guy.”

“Dr. Paul is the only candidate I know of who would have signed the Constitution of the United States had he been there.”

“I’m with him because he seems to be the only candidate who actually believes it has as much relevance today as it did a couple of hundred years ago.” -Arlo Guthrie

The Disgusting MSNBC Republican Debates

This was actually painful to watch. The whole debate was so obviously biased towards Romney, McCain, to to an extent Rudy. It took these fuckups 20 minutes until they asked Ron Paul a question, and there's only five candidates. Look at the breakdown below of how much time each candidate got to speak according to NBC's Laura Appelbaum:

Total Times
Romney: 21:11, during 13 times
McCain: 16:00, during 13 times
Giuliani: 13:50, during 11 times
Huckabee: 12:11, during nine times
Paul: 6:31, during six times

There's obviously a media blackout on Ron Paul, not that it really surprises me. But hopefully people can see through all the bullshit that the MSM has blinded us with and at least try to hear what he's trying to say.

MSNBC Hack David Shuster Calls Ron Paul "The Al Qaeda Wing of the Republican Party"

David Shuster, appearing on Morning Joe on MSNBC, decided to continue on with Chris Matthews insane diatribe from his visit to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Matthews was comparing different GOP presidential candidates to rivaling tribal factions in Iraq. He said that Huckabee and Thompson are like "the fanatics, the Shia wing", while Rudy Giuliani and John McCain are "the more moderate Sunnis", with Romney as "the Kurd". Ridiculous on its own already, especially the "moderate" McCain and (huge laugh) Rudy Guiliani part, Shuster decides to go one better. He blurts out, "I think it's a great analogy, I mean Ron Paul is the Al Qaeda wing of the Republican party". This smug asshole just grins while saying this and you can see a very uneasy Joe Scarborough immediately after the comment. Check it out.




If this kind of shit pisses you off as much as me, regardless of which candidate it is, then email MSNBC. I did. Here's what I sent em'.


I am completely sickened by the comments of David Shuster on your show about Ron Paul being the "Al Qaeda wing of the Republican Party". This is beyond low and completely uncalled for. This is the kind of crap that gets people canceled. You not only need to apologize to Ron Paul but to all of America for cheapening the politics even more than some of these horrible candidates already do by themselves. This is why people are leaving television "news" for the internet. I liked a lot of what you had to say, Joe, but now just can't even stomach to watch even a clip of your show on You Tube. Sad, really.

Ron Paul is a class act,and that's pretty obvious. Its funny how he chose to compare the peace candidate to a terrorist organization. I guess "War IS Peace", "Freedom IS Slavery", "up IS down" and "Black IS White". Matthews, by the way, sounds like he needs a vacation. He's completely lost it. First, the whole "Life is a campaign" thing, and now this? Whether you like Paul's positions or not, he does not deserve this kind of treatment.

...and you guys know it.

If there's any of the "good" Joe Scarborough left in you, then I'd hope you'd get mad about this too and do something about it. I know I'd be ticked off is somebody tried to soil my show and my name with this kind of obvious transparent hackery.

Ron Paul Beats 9iu11ani AGAIN!!!

Yup. Beat him like a 9/11 widow. 6% to 3%.

Jesus. I can't believe 9iu11ani is still considered a 'major' candidate.

Nevertheless, I dearly hope he wins Florida. Nothing would make me happier than to see the Republican race be more convoluted. Iowa? Huckabee. New Hampshire? McCain. Michigan? Romney. South Carolina? I'm hoping Thompson. Florida? I'm hoping 9iu11ani. Seriously. How weakened are each of these fucks by the fracturing of the party. Nobody can claim shit. Nobody wants any of them. Not even their own fucking party.

Go RON! Keep racking up those 4th place finishes, and then release the hounds at the convention....

I love it!

November Prediction

Before things get too settled, I want to go out on a limb and pull a prediction from my well-lubed asshole.

Behold the Candidates for the 2008 General Election

Hillary Clinton / Wes Clark

vs.

John McCain / Joe Lieberman

vs.

Michael Bloomberg / Barack Obama

And I suppose there's the outside chance that we'll have Ron Paul running as well, but I don't know who he might pick for VP.

I'm now re-inserting this fist sized crystal ball back into my ass.

Oooh...ouhhh....Ahhhh.
