Tuesday, May 1st, 2012Hey, did you know that Ron Paul is having a money bomb on April 15? Btw, Ron Paul money bomb on the 15th of April. Ron Paul, money bomb, April 15
Monday, April 9th, 2012This is an e-mail one of your editors received from the Ron Paul campaign. I think there will be a money bomb on April 15th, but it’s hard to tell from the language of the e-mail–though maybe the P.S. is trying to say something. It’s interesting to note that Ron Paul is still playing up the delegate strategy, and, as of a speech he gave in Berkeley last week, he still sounded very confident about his prospects. Meanwhile, Newt Gingrich is talking about his campaign in the past tense. We’ll see what happens in Tampa, which is after the money bomb on the 15th (btw).
….
If the establishment had its way, there would only be one Republican left in this race – and the National Convention would just be a massive rally for Mitt Romney.
There would be no talk about individual liberty. No mention of trillion-dollar deficits, real spending cuts, and the out-of-control Federal Reserve.
And there would be no questioning the cost of utopian nation-building schemes or policing the world.
But thanks to your hard work and dedication to the cause of liberty, the establishment isn’t getting its way.
Not this time.
I’m planning to take my campaign to Restore America NOW all the way to Tampa, Florida, for the Republican National Convention.
But to do so, my campaign must have the funds to continue picking up delegates all across the country.
So can I count on you to help me fight all the way to the National Convention bypledging to make a generous contribution to my campaign’s Money Bomb on April 15?
So far, my campaign’s delegate strategy has paid off.
Dedicated supporters of mine have been turning out at their local caucuses and conventions to run as delegates to their Congressional District or State Conventions – where National Delegates will be elected.
It’s these delegates who will choose the Republican nominee at the National Convention in August.
That’s why it’s absolutely crucial my campaign has the funds to continue organizing and winning delegates in many states around the country.
And there are also important primaries in Texas and California coming up where hundreds of delegates will be up for grabs.
That’s why I’m counting on you to pledge to contribute to my campaign’s Money Bomb on April 15.
You and I have fought tooth and nail against the establishment for nearly an entire year now.
And the most important battles are happening right now.
So please, help me take my campaign to Restore America NOW to the Republican National Convention by pledging to make a generous contribution to my upcoming April 15 Money Bomb.
Let’s take our fight all the way to Tampa.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
P.S. My campaign is holding a Money Bomb on April 15.
With the Republican National Convention fast approaching, my campaign must have the funds to continue winning delegates in many states all over the country.
So please pledge to contribute to my Money Bomb on April 15 to help me take our fight all the way to Tampa!
Ron Paul fans react to McMahon senate announcement
Thursday, September 17th, 2009[Wonkette via Mother Jones]
The wrestler in the video is Glenn Jacobs (a.k.a. Kane), a hardcore Ron Paul/libertarian/Austrian economics fan. He even blogs about those things here and here. Given that Linda McMahon is running for the same seat that former Ron Paul adviser Peter Schiff wants, putting two and two together is easy. Kane saw the neo-con oozing out of McMahon years ago and tombstoned her. The “storyline” was just a cover.
Now McMahon is getting her revenge by becoming the anti-freedom establishment candidate, or so says diehard Austrian Lew Rockwell:
The powerbrokers who run the Republican party in the US and CT want to stop Peter Schiff’s run for the federal senate against Crook Dodd, so they are ginning up the campaign of the very wealthy Linda McMahon, head of the World Wrestling Federation, since the other Republicans are such losers.
Duh. After all, is it really a coincidence that McMahon’s announcement comes when the latest poll shows Peter Schiff getting a whooping 1% of the vote among Republican primary voters? [Capitol Watch] To be fair, Dodd is failing so miserably that another poll shows Schiff almost neck and neck with Dodd were Schiff to become the Republican candidate. [Rasmussen] This is a big if now that Linda McMahon is there to use all her wrestling monies to ensure the power elite maintain the Connecticut seat. Or maybe she is a zooprise Ron Pauls kandidates that will split the neo-con vote in half and give Schiff the victory or something. Let the internets debate begin. [Ron Paul Forums]
The real question is: who will be McMahon’s partner in her tag team match against Kane and Schiff at WrestleMania 26?

John McCain not the Original Maverick
Sunday, October 19th, 2008According to the Star Tribune the title belongs to Rosella Sonsteby, a 92-year-old woman running for mayor of Andover, Minnesota. She is almost as old as McCain and considers Ron Paul her hero. Why didn’t she run for POTUS? [Star Tribune]
John S. McCain officially nominated, we get no LOLZ
Thursday, September 4th, 2008Ron Paul received five votes and Mitt Romney got two. Then someone made a call for “unanimous support,” the hundreds of Ron Paul supporters/secret delegates never appeared, and John S. McCain was nominated to less-than-thundering hoorays (what is the deal with this “S” stuff, anyways?). There was one moment during Sarah Palin’s speech when security removed a woman doing the peace sign from the convention center, but she was probably lost or something.
We will liveblog McCain’s speech tomorrow. Stay tuned!
