Yawn

Hee!

Thanks for the good publicity!
(Any publicity is GOOD!)

Now about 1,000 more people will know who Ron is... heh

No, the Ron Paul blogger trolls will know where this site is so that they can stroll by and cut and paste their template comments here.

Do you get paid by the Ron Paul campaign? Do you post from the same IP with multiple different names to amplify Ron Pauls alledged legions of supporters?

Prob-bly...

Ron Paul... isn't he a Nationally recognized Pollster? I don't get it... are his polls biased or something?

YARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

SURRENDER YE BOOTY!

Ron Paul ain't payin' us so we're resortin' to pi-ra-cy ....

Ron Paul...? Is he the inventor of the Ginzu knife?

wow, I am so impressed with your high degree of intelligent commentary. You must feel a sense of pride that is only exceeded by your hubris.

Dear Ron Paul supporters; get a good look at what intelligence supports the other candidates. Ron Paul has to win!!!!! They are now pulling from elementary school to try and divert attention away
from real issues.

This post got a 2.5 hour response time from the RonPaulbots. That's longer than I would expect.

Has RonPaul cracked the 3% recognition barrier yet in national polls?

Idiots...

I thought you banned Jadegold--and now you're letting him post comments!

I suggest a scientific experiment of multiple posts at different times and measurement of how long it takes to get 3 RP trollbots to respond. Preferably posted earlier in the day.

How original. Why does he suck? This will probably be in your next informative article.
The truth is that RON PAUL RULES!!!!

It isn't Ron Paul that sucks, as much as his goons.

You guys really suck.

Dangit Ken. Now I can't use that idea to drum up hits on my site.

How many hits did it get you, incidentally? Although I don't suppose the RonPaulBots click ads eh?

Well it's not even midafternoon yet and we have a thousand or so views.

Build it, and they will come.

How about, "Ron Paul inhales vigorously!"?

No, You suck, you stupidhead! (I'm 5 years old, too)

No, You suck, you stupidhead! (I'm 5 years old, too)

Who is John Galt? Great book, though I don't think many fans would support Ron Paul.

Oops! Sorry about my comment. It should have read,

"I thought you banned Jadegold--and now you're letting him post main entries!"

Is this joe liebermans blog? why would you feel strongly enough about a nice old guy like ron paul to dedicate a ridiculous mean spirited topic to him?

The only reason i can guess is you are some kind of "big government" conservative.

Not your finest hour.

"Why does he suck?"

I don't think this so much of a question of "Why does he suck?," but what is he sucking on?

In today's political world, that word could be applied to any politician who puts so much red meat on the table with their political and ideological views. And I keeping insisting that Paul may not be a bad person, but in reality, his ideas are about a 9.5 on the suckometer.

If you really dislike Ron Paul, I think the conservative Republicans should use Ron Paul as a standard for how does his ideology different from any of the front-running dimocrats.

his ideology is 100% different from the democrats. He's pro lifee, pro border fence/ wall, he has voted against more spending bills than anyone. he's wants to leave the UN. He voted for clintons impeachemnt and against kosovo. He's the polar opposite of democrats, most of whom voted FOR the war. He has the most conservative voting record ever.

Lester, I guess you didn't get this, but . . . this post was much more about Ron Paul's goons and their overcaffeinated presence on the web than it is about Ron Paul himself.

Hell, back in my libertarian days I helped campaign for Paul, but that was nearly 20 years ago.

so what changed to make You decide a three trillion dollar budget was something you support?

Well Lester, when did you stop beating your wife?

What makes you think I support a 'three trillion dollar budget?'

What, are you saying that anyone who does not support Ron Paul automatically supports a bloated federal budget?

I hope you aren't serious about that.

I meant in general, what made you shift from being a libertarian to being a republican?

i' m not a member of the libertarian party. I'm just anti spending period. To me, the federal government is like AOL: there's no reason to have it anymore, if there ever was.

I am not a libertarian anymore because they have no chance at winning. One reason for that is because they cannot even agree on what their first principles are.

When I became a Republican I thought that one of the first principles of being a Republican is dedication to smaller government. Of course I have been let down time and time again by the Republicans on this, but at least they pay lip service to that principle. But I also disagree vehemently with the libertarian idea that can just be Fortress America, be completely non-interventionist in the world, and hide behind two oceans. That may have worked great in the 19th century, but it is pollyanna now.

I am heartened to see that you are anti-spending Lester, I am glad we agree on that.

well, we spend alot of that on the military. all of which, excpet maybe the coast guard, I am opposed to.

So we have one disagreement but it's a big one. I, like Dr Paul, would like to bring all the american soldiers around the world home. permenently. war is the health of the state and I am first and foremost anti state.

Ah, so you aren't really anti-spending, just anti-military.

Here's something interesting: the results of the Iowa straw poll:

1. Mitt Romney - 4516 votes, 31%
2. Mike Huckabee - 2587 votes, 18.1%
3. Sam Brownback - 2192 votes, 15.3%
4. Tom Tancredo - 1961 votes, 13.7%
5. Ron Paul - 1305 votes, 9.1%
6. Tommy Thompson - 1,009 votes, 7.3%
7. Fred Thompson - 231 votes
8. Rudy Giuliani - 183 votes
9. Duncan Hunter - 174 votes
10. John McCain - 101 votes
11. John Cox - 41 votes

My man Tancredo is in at #4; Ron Paul is right behind him at #5. Your highly-rated debaters, Rudy Giuliani and John McCain, are down at #8 and #10, respectively.

Yes, it's a straw poll; yes, the polling sample is small and possibly biased. But perhaps it's food for thought?

ken- I'm anti spending INCLUDING the military and especially war

Incidentally, after his poor showing, Tommy Thompson has gotten out of the race. If only all those below him would follow suit....

it would be funny if they ALL quit. Sometimes I get the feeling they want to. Also, Sam Brownback will be played by Will ferrel in the movie version of this campaign

Oh yeah, as if politicians, all of them completely driven by ego, would quit!

Well, before the money runs out, anyway.

what if no one ran for president. or public office? That would be ideal
