Return of the RonPauloompa Army!

In case you've been sleeping, the annual CPAC conference wound up today with their traditional popularity contest. And the winner is . . .

Before long, the 2012 Campaign Season will come into full swing. And the Legion of -Loompas will once again flood the interwebs. To all of them, I give the only proper reaction a sane person can offer:

Oopma loompa doopety dee!
Secessionism is an economic term in the mind of Ron P.!

My friend sent me a link to the NRA speech at CPAC. I then realized that I no longer want to be his friend.

I don't agree much with the Ron and Rand Paul, but they're on the right side regarding the Patriot Act and the Bill of Rights. Something that a lot of Democrats have capitulated on.

I'm still burned out from the 2008 presidential elections. I am not looking forward to the impending shitstorm of lunacy. Certainly Ron Paul is going to run for the GOP nomination, don't you think? This is really gonna suck. I hate conspiracy loonies the most, and his camp seems to be lousy with them.

One man's shitstorm of lunacy is another's comedy goldmine. You gotta look on the bright-side, man.

Didn't you read the first paragraph from motorfireboxe's article? If we want to really destroy our economy, that's a good way to do it.

And, on the front page of today's Miami Herald: there many folks out there that just never get tired of having more Bush.

Oooh, goodie-goodie gum drops! CPAC is doing a good job of showing their looney on their sleeves, and just how irrelevant their poling is, two years running. To me, its obvious that many of its members (read wealthier donors) are clearly alligned with Romney, but he just he just doesn't quite have that crazy, insurrectiony attitude that so many seem to be going for these days (plus that whole Mormon thing rankles a number of conservatives).

Of note, Bachman, Daniels and Pawlenty rounded out the bottom of the barrel with all of them tied for. Only the hope from the great white north (Palin) got fewer points and finished dead last. Sarah, Sarah, Sarah!!!

The only thing I like about Ron Paul is his willingness to challenge neocon convens, and to some extent, the political machine. Say what you will about his crazy (and we could all go on for days with this one), but he's a tremendous thorn in the side for the other "serious" candidates. What gives me pause is that so many of his supporters are from the younger generation which may indicate a prevailing trend in conservative-libertarian ideology for future generations. With Paul as their hero and guiding light, one can only imagine the possibilities...

That wasn't even the most interesting thing to happen at CPAC. GoProud (an American tax exempt 527 organization representing conservative gays, lesbians, transgendered people, and their allies) had a booth this year and of course it did have some controversy with the old guard but as a whole the younger generation and most of the people there were supportive of them.

Here is a interesting video of them at the convention


and here is their after party where Michael Steele shows up for support


The straw poll really is the least interesting thing about CPAC, I much prefer seeing the clash between the new generation vs. the old guard Neoconservatives.

Maybe 30 or 40 years from now, some Fox News pundit will be proclaiming that it was the Republicans who fought the tough wars for gay rights.

After thinking that the R's couldn't possible screw up a sure thing and then nominating Bob Dole and John McCain, I am convinced that the bottom of the poll'ers will probably be on the ticket.

Agree with the split between the Neo-Con and Lib wings of the R's. If the D's can quiet the Progressive wing it should be a sure thing for the President to win re-election.

Glenn Beck's lab-grown clone will be reassuring us all that the republicans have always been the ones behind civil rights advances.

Already being done. Start watching around the 40 second mark for the question and 1" for the %#@^'s answer.

I still prefer Paul to Palin.

CPAC is such a fucking joke. Between Pamela Geller's screening of a new "Ground Zero Mosque" documentary and the attendance of members of the American Third Position, Youth for Western Civilization, and Council of Conservative Citizens (infamous white supremacy groups), I see no real reason to take it seriously at all. To think that Ron Paul won the straw poll for the second year in a row is just the cherry on top.

YOUR A FUCKING JOKE!!11!!
RON PAUL DELIVERED BABIES> HE DOES GODS WORK!!! HES A GENUINE BELIEVER IN OUR CONSTITUTION!!!111!!

I figured we could go ahead and practice now that it's official.

No, see, I want Ron Paul to run. Because he will never win.

Also, CONSTITUTION!

Blimp Wars 3d, the sequel.

Ahh, a good excuse to go back to the recesses of my Attachments folder.





Just change the year as necessary.

I do wonder, though. Ron Paul has an army of anti-critical-thinking, yet web-savvy zombies at his disposal. And we know how to react to them. (fish dance)

But what about the other impossible candidates with anti-critical-thinking, yet (semi) web-savvy zombies? Sarah Palin campaigns mostly through Twatter and Facebook, mostly so she doesn't have to ask "gotcha" questions like "are you fucking kidding me?" What I really want to know is, will we have an army of Palin-Pushers?

Um. Hmmm. My history is weak. Anyone find me references to back that up? It's ok, I'll wait.

Thank you, Ayn Rand, for injecting sociopathy into American politics. And thank you for making me have to pay attention to your self-contradicting, hackneyed bullshit because you are the hero of the right.

Yes, you were an admirer of the killer, Hickman. Who cares, right? Who cares if your model for the ideal man was a man without conscience, a man that "Other people have no right, no hold, no interest or influence on him. And this is not affected or chosen -- it's inborn, absolute, it can't be changed, he has 'no organ' to be otherwise. In this respect, he has the true, innate psychology of a Superman. He can never realize and feel 'other people.' "

"He shows how impossible it is for a genuinely beautiful soul to succeed at present, for in all [aspects of] modern life, one has to be a hypocrite, to bend and tolerate. This boy wanted to command and smash away things and people he didn't approve of"? Those things being the lives of others and the little girl you kidnapped, killed, dismembered and had her organs and body parts strewn over California, of course.

How cares if your philosophy collapses under the weight of its own inherently flawed underpinnings?

Well, its certainly not Ron Paul, who named his son after you.

Bear in mind that, although Paul Senior is a bit-more open minded, Sen. Rand seems to think that even medical marijuana should be illegal, & he's flip-flopped quite a bit on whether or not he actually supports the War on Drugs, labeling himself socially conservative, but at the same time vaguely suggesting that perhaps sentences for things like simple possession are too high.

I have a serious problem with people who seem to be able to rationalize away the inconsistencies in their beliefs. How you think that government shouldn't limit private businesses' "right" to deny people services based on skin color, but should limit people's rights to use substances they can easily grow themselves in their own backyard for medicinal or recreational purposes is utterly beyond me.

Fuck. Yes.
