    Thank you for your continued support.

    For liberty,

    Me.

  2. He’s running away to join a real circus?

  3. norbizness says at 4:20 pm, June 12th, 2008

    “Mr. Paul, please get off the field. The Astros need to play.”

  4. JimNewell says at 4:21 pm, June 12th, 2008

    WHY DOESN’T MY SKULL ‘N’ XBONES POLL LOOK RIGHT?

  6. FreshCliches says at 4:22 pm, June 12th, 2008

    In a perfect world, he’ll explain his plan to abolish the Irrational Ron Supporters.

    Expect a 37% spike in all caps posts, and a 62% increase in exclamation points.

  7. Darehead says at 4:22 pm, June 12th, 2008

    Ron Paul’s Veep Announcement:
    1. Securacom-wtc
    2. Zeeb
    3. Alex Jones
    4. Mel Gibson

  8. loquaciousmusic says at 4:22 pm, June 12th, 2008

    He’s endorsing Hillary.

    Also, TRUCK NUTZ.

  9. JimNewell says at 4:23 pm, June 12th, 2008

    floraway: THANKS A LOT, FUN-RUINER.

  10. asgardshill says at 4:23 pm, June 12th, 2008

    He’s hiring Dr. Steven G. Parent to take over the really nasty vaginal examinations in his office. Yeast infections, homeless bag ladies, terminal crabs, etc.

  11. superfecta says at 4:24 pm, June 12th, 2008

    I really, really hope it’s a third-party (eighth-party?) run with Alex Jones. His inauguration could be at Bohemian Grove.

  12. Quacker says at 4:24 pm, June 12th, 2008

    Jim Newell:

    It’s Paultarded.

  13. Canuckledragger says at 4:25 pm, June 12th, 2008

    “A few days ago, I smoked a joint with Bob Barr, and he convinced me to join the Libertarian ticket as the Vice Presidential nominee. It made a lot of sense to me at the time, and even though I’ve had some sober second thoughts since then, I am a man of my word and so will campaign with Bob Barr as long as the BC Bud lasts.”

  14. Doglessliberal says at 4:25 pm, June 12th, 2008

    floraway: oh shit, what will the Paulards cling to? Where will all that energy go? This could be really bad.

  15. norbizness says at 4:25 pm, June 12th, 2008

    I made some crack about McCain appealing to crazy Paul voters by fondly reminiscing about growing up with the gold standard in the 19th century (on a liberal website), only to be accosted by at least three Paultards, admonishing me with “you’d better not make fun of us… well, O.K., you can make fun of us, but not the gold standard… because a lot of us delusional idiots might actually vote for Obama in November.” To which I replied (in my head only): “Go the fuck away.”

  16. Doglessliberal says at 4:27 pm, June 12th, 2008

    Jim Newell: I was actually hoping for the TruckNutz sale. You know, stock up now and have your Xmas shopping all done early? I could get some BikeBallz for my bro-in-law, too. Perfect for everyone on your list!

  17. FunkyPalmettoBug says at 4:31 pm, June 12th, 2008

    Hopefully it involves tainted kool-aid…

  18. Darehead says at 4:31 pm, June 12th, 2008

    “The Paul campaign itself was defined by a dedicated army of supporters, who organized independently of Paul, worked to explode “money bombs” to sustain his campaign coffers, rallied in the streets of primary states, infiltrated Wonkette and left abusive comments for ShortsShortsShorts and Darehead, developed their own alternative universe called “Paulville” and even skirted campaign finance law to float a Ron Paul ‘08 blimp around much of the Eastern seabord earlier this year.”

    But for all their efforts, the dedicated army of Paul supporters never learned to use the spellchecker.

  19. freakishlystrong says at 4:32 pm, June 12th, 2008

    Jim Newell: It does! I voted for TruckNutz, funnel cakes seem to be a hit however…

  20. capitol-hillbilly says at 4:33 pm, June 12th, 2008

    i heard they were giving away a free set of Nutz with every registration at the Bildenburg conference.

  21. rockstarjoe says at 4:34 pm, June 12th, 2008

    He has real video footage of a real alien.

  22. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:35 pm, June 12th, 2008

    Truck NUTZ is leading by a landslide. Fox will still call it for Bush though.

  23. Supernatural_Delegate says at 4:36 pm, June 12th, 2008

    He’s Hillary’s 3rd testicle, and is running as an independent.

  24. freakishlystrong says at 4:37 pm, June 12th, 2008

    Maybe we can get God-boy to perfom an excorsist on him, then Paul could projectile-vomit all over him and there ya go; Twofer!

  25. iwillsavethispatient says at 4:38 pm, June 12th, 2008

    floraway: I like that Ron Paul supporters are refered to as “fans”. Apparently nobody “supports” Ron Paul, people are only fanatical about him.

  26. ronaldpagan says at 4:41 pm, June 12th, 2008

    I kind of want a liveblog of this. Am I alone?

    Darehead: Ah, Zeeb. New Wonkette turns its lonely eyes to you…

  27. Gopherit v2.0 says at 4:42 pm, June 12th, 2008

    I’m expecting to hear the following:

    “Greeting My Followers. Our day is at hand. Aardvark. I repeat, Aardvark. For Quatloos and glory.”

  28. Darehead says at 4:43 pm, June 12th, 2008

    Aesop’s Fable:

    There once was a candidate named Ron Paul. He quit and then said he didn’t quit. Then he quit again and said he didn’t quit. Now he is quitting a third time, but his loyal Paul-bearers called ‘Paultards,’ who are sheeple who call others sheeple, will refuse to listen.

    Moral of the story; Even when liars say they are quitting, they are never believed. The liar will lie once, twice, and then become the new fascist leader of the universe.

  29. Cape Clod says at 4:44 pm, June 12th, 2008

    Somebody call Red State and tell them it’s VP Day.

  30. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 4:45 pm, June 12th, 2008

    iwillsavethispatient: I think we are all “fans” of Dr. Paul and his following in a way, insomuch as they are entertainment that we greatly enjoy.

  31. Clovis says at 4:47 pm, June 12th, 2008

    I’ve seen a copy of his speech on another channel.

    He will tonight endorse Hillary.

    You saw it here first.

  32. Quacker says at 4:50 pm, June 12th, 2008

    NotUrEvryDayWEzl:

    I’m sorry but that statement is Paultarded…. so, no!

  33. capitol-hillbilly says at 4:52 pm, June 12th, 2008
  34. floraway says at 4:52 pm, June 12th, 2008

    Jim Newell: I am sorry that I have dashed all of your hopes for a big sale on Truck Nutz. I think the Camo ones are my favorite:

  35. Canuckledragger says at 4:55 pm, June 12th, 2008

    But how can Dr. Paul leave the race when he just finished trouncing McCain in Montana?

    It makes no sense, I tells ya, no sense at all! [Much like Dr. Paul himself.]

  36. He’ll be funding his campaign and reducing the federal deficit by recruiting all his minions to sell Amway products. “With a distributorship network like this I could… rule the world…”

  37. Quacker says at 5:06 pm, June 12th, 2008

    NotUrEvryDayWEzl:

    I take it back. I’ve been moderately entertained all afternoon. I bow to your Overlord Wisdom.

  38. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:06 pm, June 12th, 2008

    capitol-hillbilly: Awesome AND authentic.

  39. Darehead says at 5:07 pm, June 12th, 2008

    snig: That’s funny cuz I know some people who used to sell Amway and then became Paultards.

  40. glamourdammerung says at 7:39 pm, June 12th, 2008

    Doglessliberal: All that energy will go into World of Warcraft, pot smoking, and crying oneself to sleep while masturbating.

  41. masterdebater says at 9:14 pm, June 12th, 2008

    It’s not really going to be Dr. Paul. The liberal media has hired a look alike to try to torpedo the rEVOLution. Dr. Paul would never stab his supporters in the back by leaving a race he is WINNING! The Free Mason-liberal-Trilateral Commission- conspiracy, just wants you to give up. Keep on fighting tards. I can’t make it through a day without at least one, all caps, bat shit crazy, blog post!

  42. Mr-Clark says at 9:54 pm, June 12th, 2008

    Darehead: Darehead,

    Now I see the relationship to The Hindenburg and Ron Paul’s campaign! I forgot about the damn blimp.

    Sincerely and respectfully,

    Mr-Clark

  43. shortsshortsshorts says at 10:18 pm, June 12th, 2008

    Darehead: I am proud to be in the same boat with you, Darehead. Word.

  44. shortsshortsshorts says at 10:24 pm, June 12th, 2008

    Darehead: And I MUST know where that came from. Assault is a two-way street.

  45. masterdebater says at 10:49 pm, June 12th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Whoa! You’re famous! Congrats on your 15 minutes!

  46. shortsshortsshorts says at 10:56 pm, June 12th, 2008

    masterdebater: Yes, but it HAD to be the Paultards. What a bummer.

  47. shortsshortsshorts says at 12:32 am, June 13th, 2008

    Darehead: DAMMIT it doesn’t exist.
    I still enjoyed the boat ride.

  48. Darehead says at 5:44 am, June 13th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Sorry, I didn’ think it would be taken for rea. The Hitler quotes are real though. And we did get Tard-bashed, you, when Wonkette 2.0 first opened, and me, last week sometime. You know–the kind they leave at the end of dead threads. I’ll see if I can dig ‘em up.

  49. Darehead says at 5:44 am, June 13th, 2008

    *real.

  50. Darehead says at 6:17 am, June 13th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: I cut and pasted the abusive comment on your Gawker site.

  51. Bill_TX says at 11:28 am, June 13th, 2008

    He’s going to announce who will be in his cabinet if elected…

    Sec of State: Longcat.
    Treasury Secretary: That Chocolate Rain Guy.
    Sec of Defense: Some kid in a Guy Fawkes mask.

  52. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:26 pm, June 13th, 2008

    Darehead: They’re all over the fucking place now. More keep coming out of woodwork. The Paultard post above this one is a shit storm.
