Ron Paul go away
Filed Under (Random!) by Monkee on 14-04-2008
I have seen Mr. Paul a few times, seems like a nice guy. A little too libertarian for my taste, I tend to lean to the right of the right. For example, that El Ducce had some good ideas.
I digress.
The reason that I wont vote for him (besides the fact I am convicted felon and cant vote, it was a silly pyramid scam involving sheep and nacho cheese) nor listen to him any longer is his supporters. Never have I been inundated with so many spam emails and people that hear his name at a party and run over to me, wipe the foam from their mouth and launch into a 20 minute diatribe(with graphs and pie charts) about how he’ll change America. I inform them that his candidacy ended months ago and then some switch kicks off in their head and they shift into why we should write him in.
After a few courtesy minutes of listening to them I simply ask if they will give me $1000 if I vote for him. They always say no and I always say that they need to re-think their commitment to his candidacy when they wont give a grand to insure a vote for him. I ask if they were really on board wouldn’t they do whatever it takes to ensure that this great country will change under a Paul administration. I ask if they hold their marriage vows as sacred as their political. I ask this in front of their wife.
It ends the conversation and usually sparks a fight within the couple, a fight that I then spend the next hour watching.

I just cannot resist.
Ron Paul is still running for president - well, more like walking. But he has not withdrawn.
Vote buying seems to me to be unprincipled.
For what it’s worth, precious little I suspect, I found your blog amusing though somewhat lacking in substance.
BTW - I stumbled upon this site.

Thank you for your kind words. I was totally going for ” amusing though somewhat lacking in substance.”
Thanks for the SU
