Ron Paul: Annoying Cult Leader

TAGS: Ron Paul

Dear Ron Paul supporters: Please shut the fuck up. You are the most annoying humans ever to walk the Earth. The fact that you do not realize your overzealous insanity is having a negative effect on undecided voters is remarkable. But, like any cult member or born again Christian, you apparently do not have the ability to really look at yourself, so I�m doing you a favor by telling you to stop it.

In a textbook case of insanity, Ron Paul is now telling people he is the only Republican who can defeat Hillary Clinton. The Paulheads will immediately post this message on every board that exists on the Internet, call friends, spray it on walls, shave it into their heads and write it in their own blood on sidewalks. Because everything Ron Jesus says is GOSPEL.

Paul has latched onto a new Rasmussen poll stating he leads Clinton among voters aged 30-49. By 47% to 44%. Wow, that�s so close it is actually meaningless. And it is in one demographic. Paul decided not to show the old people vote, because they hate him.

"Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton," said campaign Chairman Kent Snyder.

Right. Never mind that the entire poll shows Clinton beating Paul by a 10% margin. He trails by such a large margin because he is a fringe candidate, a raving lunatic who has zero chance of ever getting into the White House.

The enthusiasm of supporters, his strength in GOP straw polls, and his surprising fundraising ability have yet to make him competitive in either GOP-nomination or general-election match-ups. In Iowa, Paul attracts just 2% of the vote and he has yet to top 3% in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

Let us know when you hit 4%, we�ll throw you a party. Paul supporters have become quite adept at finding some odd statistic to prove he is an actual contender. Then they drive that point home ad nauseum until you want to shoot them in the face.

Republican website Redstate.com just banned Paul supporters from their website.

Attention, Ron Paul Supporters (Life is *REALLY* Not Fair),� begins, �Effective immediately, new users may *not* shill for Ron Paul in any way shape, form or fashion. Not in comments, not in diaries, nada. If your account is less than 6 months old, you can talk about something else, you can participate in the other threads and be your zany libertarian self all you want, but you cannot pimp Ron Paul. Those with accounts more than six months old may proceed as normal.

Certainly it will be spun many different ways: Paul is a threat to the establishment, Paul�s message is dangerous, Paul is speaking the truth, blah blah blah. The truth is that Paul supporters are spammers and the most annoying people currently on the Internet. They destroy online polls and then freak out when the polls are taken down. It seems like everyone with a victim complex in the US found the perfect candidate.

Over the next few upcoming primary months we will be subjected to the idiot Paul fans jumping on the "stolen election" bandwagon as they continue to deny the obvious lack of popularity of their boy. Then, they will be elated when Paul decideds to run as a third party candidate. And they will be shocked when he is crushed in the general election, in which he hands the White House to the Democratic candidate.

All that will be left then is suicide. Hopefully.

FTR was working on a pilot all night and was not able to post his story at 9 AM. Please forgive him.

Why is it that the one candidate who seems to be different for once is the first one person people want to slap down?

ah hah.

Huh? What? Logic, you say? Oh Margot, there's no "logic" when it comes to love. I just don't think you're quite "RON PAUL R-LOVE-UTION" material, are you?

Why is it that the one candidate who seems to be different for once is the first one person people want to slap down? Fuck you and everyone of the fucking voters who will throw their vote away on a cookie cutter candidate. He really does want to make fundamental policy changes and because of that he's "crazy."

No, that is actually not at all why he's crazy. He's crazy because he has a massive lack of understanding of history. Oh, and he's a racist.

Ron Paul is the best candidate Hillary is in a close race with Osama Obama for worst....FO Idiots

Are you serious? And did you really use the Osama/Obama thing? Oh, god...

Agreed. I think he's not-exactly the best person for the job, but that crap is just ridiculous. Why do people like that try to represent similarly-minded people out in public? As I said, I think Obama doesn't have much going for him, but the "Osama Obama" thing is OLD and franlky, arguing based on a childish synonym is just that...childish and ignorant.

I wouldn't vote for him, and his 'overzealous' supporters are a bit much. However, the guy has said things about the war on terror that no Dem frontrunner has the guts to say.

Right, he's just said the same stuff that Democrats who are behind the pack have said. See Kucinich and Gavel. He has the same chance as those two and has the same percentage of followers. So, he is no different. To compare his to frontrunners of any party is ridiculous.

One of my roommates has a "Ron Paul 2008" sign in his window. It's kind of embarrassing.

I don't disagree with anything this "article" states, but it is about the most vapid opinion piece I've ever seen on this site. Really it just feels like a troll thread started by someone with a large ego to match their polar opposite wit and intellect.

Put another sign below it: "Will he see out another year?"

Is that why you used "quotes?"

Jesus, that hurt. It is also a sign of your astounding wit and intellect and not at all a sign of a hack.

Ron Paul is not a bad candidate but I'm not voting for him because I don't think the republicans should have the presidency when we are trying to end the war in the IR middle east. He is not only a republican but also a libertarian (not a political party) and that means he's a pretty cool cat in my book, but I'm not sure how much of a chance he has at winning. From these percentages here I don't think he will win, but it's not 2008 yet.

Ron Paul
2% 1%
Status: Announced
The U.S. House member from Texas and medical doctor ran as a Libertarian for president in 1988.

He's official, but if he wants to win I think they have some work to do.
