Slog - Comments on Last Shots in the Ron Paul Revolution http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/02/last_shots_in_the_ron_paul_revolution Remember the glory days, when Ron Paul was doing the whole, "Why not see how many extravagant means of transportation I could plaster my name on in the name of democracy" thing? (This car? Utterly covered in Ron Paul stickers. The owner? Probably won't regret this even long after Paul drops out of the race.) His quixotic run for the White House appears to be nearing its end, as it turns out that maybe Paul wants to make some time to ensure that he's actually going to win the primary for his Texas congressional seat: I also have another priority....

I'm still not over losing Mitt Romney. How much does Ron need? Twenty? Fifty? If Ron is short $50, you tell him to call me and I'm there for him.

LaRouche always made me think of LBJ living in a crazy shack with cockroaches crawling all over him.

America desparately needs a political movement focused on restoring limited government. It's quite clear that the Democratic Party is not willing to be that movement (or did nobody notice the "It's OK for Telecoms to break the law for the Bush Administration" vote in the Senate?).

Seriously.

But, then again, I doubt many people would watch it, unless they were stoned and/or drunk.

I think it's funny that 45th street was saturdated with Ron Paul fliers stuck to everything and there was exactly one Obama sign in the same area. Let's see, one sign for Obama and he draws over 20,000 to Key Arena. An infinite number of Ron Paul signs and he draws 700. The sign-to-interested-voter ratio is very disproportionate.

Who's gonna clean all of it up anyways? Or will our signposts, streetlights and bus stops be (illegally) wheatpasted for years to come?

I'll never earn enough for those kind of taxes and neither will my wife. So one of you genius owes $120,000 on top of the $60 grand you already owe. Ya'll trot on out and vote for your favorite republicrat and then get to work earning that taxable income.
