Ron Paul Embarrasses Phil Gramm At Press Conference

by Jim Newell

Ron Paul’s very special press conference has ended and, we regret to inform, it featured no “Tournament of Losers”-style death match among the various third-party candidates he invited. He totally copped out and endorsed three third-party candidates: Ralph Nader, Cynthia McKinney, and Chuck Baldwin. He was planning on endorsing Bob Barr, too, but selfish Barr didn’t want to share the blessing with his fellow losers and refused to show up. Ha ha, Bob Barr is in loser-denial. But Paul redeemed his hazy endorsement of these competing hippie agendas by revealing that Phil “Nation of Whiners” Gramm tried to force him into endorsing John McCain. And somehow Paul fended off his heroically persuasive powers!

Because if a rich, condescending fascist with a record of ruining Ron Paul’s political advancement couldn’t convince Ron Paul to support John McCain, no one could:

Republican Rep. Ron Paul, the libertarian-leaning Texas lawmaker who attracted a devoted following in the GOP primaries, said Wednesday he rejected an appeal to endorse John McCain’s presidential bid.

Paul said the request came from Phil Gramm, the former McCain adviser and ex-senator whom the campaign jettisoned after he said the country was a “nation of whiners” about the economy. Gramm defeated Paul in the Republican primary for the Senate in 1984.

Speaking to reporters at a news conference, Paul said Gramm called him this week and told him, “You need to endorse McCain.” The Texas congressman said he refused.

Jesus, that’s just embarrassing. Not only does this reinforce Gramm’s image as a complete loser (maybe he should start a third-party bid too!), but now we have evidence that he’s still an operative for the McCain campaign after he supposedly stepped down. And they’re giving Gramm the most important tasks, to boot! Trying to curry favor with Doctor Congressman Ron Paul, the Martyr Who Lived!

For perspective, the AP neatly sums up Ron Paul’s importance in the most comically true sentence we’ve ever read: “Paul won no primaries in the Republican nomination contest but developed a strong following on the Internet.”

Paul says he turned down appeal to endorse McCain [AP]

Phil Gramm can suck a bag of dicks.

Texan Bulldoggette September 10, 2008 at 2:45 pm

Phuck Phil Gramm & the pig he rode in on. BTW: Gramm may have unofficially stepped down but Walnuts let him step back in almost immediately. Who else is gonna school Mother Sarah on who owns Frannie & Freddie (although I have my doubts Walnuts knows, either.)?

Tawmn September 10, 2008 at 2:45 pm

Who’s your maverick NOW bitchezzzz?

Special Agent Jack Mehoff September 10, 2008 at 2:45 pm

Yeah Gramm called me too and I was all “Suck It!” And he was all” What if I throw a little lipstick on, then what?” And I was all “you can put that lipstick on these Truck Nutz bitch!” And I haven’t heard back yet on that one.

ManchuCandidate September 10, 2008 at 2:45 pm

But Ron Paul didn’t mention that Phil Gramm also wanted him to send some of that gold to him to help him finance “Truckstop Women II.”

Thanks, Jim. Good to know my passive agressive attempts to get you to start this thread paid off.

Viva la Ron Paul Revolution! May they all devour themselves in a fit of unbridled self-loathing and save us from their annoying trolling!

obfuscator September 10, 2008 at 2:51 pm

Wasn’t Gramm also at the RNC? He spoke at some conference full of business jerks and whined about whiners again. Fuck that guy.

donner_froh September 10, 2008 at 2:51 pm

[re=91518]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Lipstick on the pig? And on the animal he is riding?

tunamelt September 10, 2008 at 2:52 pm

Who would win? Tila Tequila or Ron Paul or the dancing banana?

freakishlystrong September 10, 2008 at 2:53 pm

Ron Paul is either a lying, lipsticked pig, or, maybe he grew a set?…

AngryBlakGuy September 10, 2008 at 2:59 pm

…at this point I’m willing to trade Joe Lieberman for Ron Paul and a future third round draft pick.

CivicHoliday September 10, 2008 at 3:00 pm

[re=91532]tunamelt[/re]: Banana. Peanut butter jelly time!

freppish September 10, 2008 at 3:04 pm

[re=91532]tunamelt[/re]: the banana, ron paul is a fool, and tila is very used, VERY, VERY, USED

SayItWithWookies September 10, 2008 at 3:06 pm

How do you endorse three candidates for one office? I’m fully expecting to see a ring full of trained miniature poodles and ten clowns hopping out of a little car at this point.

Serolf Divad September 10, 2008 at 3:07 pm

Ron Paul, the Martyr Who Lived!

That should be a bumper sticker, or something.

HomoElectus September 10, 2008 at 3:08 pm

This ballsy move by Rep. Paul will ensure that other candidates outside the political establishment will be able to replicate his success at wasting nerds’ money.

JadedDIssonance September 10, 2008 at 3:09 pm

C’mon guys. You know that Dr. Paul is the only REAL candidate for America! I mean, look at his economi……….AIIIEEEEEEE!! OMG! I’M FUCKING BURNING! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

blimped.

Special Agent Jack Mehoff September 10, 2008 at 3:10 pm

Ron Paul: King of the Emails!

Valerie September 10, 2008 at 3:11 pm

Nation of Whiners, huh? I’m actually from TX. And I have a long memory. I remember when Gramm was a fixture at all the gay bars in Ft Worth (yes, I was there…I’m lebanese). Then it hit the papers. Many tears and denials. He disappeared for about 10 years. Something, something. Senator. Retardicans.

rev_matt_y September 10, 2008 at 3:14 pm

I’m gonna miss the Paultards.

grendel September 10, 2008 at 3:15 pm

[re=91517]magic titty[/re]: Don’t be a whiner… You can afford at least 2 bags of dicks for Phil Gramm to choke on. It’s only a mental recession of bags of dicks.

Cogito Ergo Bibo September 10, 2008 at 3:17 pm

[re=91561]rev_matt_y[/re]: I know. Back to mocking PUMA’s for Palin. Oh, wait! I never stopped.

Texan Bulldoggette September 10, 2008 at 3:21 pm

[re=91559]Valerie[/re]: That’s interesting. I hadn’t heard that. I notice his wife, Wendy, is
Asian. Could she be a Chinese mail order bride? Hmmm…..

But in Phil’s defense, he doesn’t give off the gay vibe; just a hugely dickish one. (Wait, maybe he is gay–now I’ve confused myself.)

Godot September 10, 2008 at 3:23 pm

I love Lamers Bus Lines. It’s comedy that writes itself!

JadedDIssonance September 10, 2008 at 3:24 pm

[re=91563]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: I’ll take Mockables That Start With P for 400, Alex…

JadedDIssonance September 10, 2008 at 3:27 pm

[re=91567]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: how related are pibulls and bulldogs? What about the lipsticked ones?

TGY September 10, 2008 at 3:30 pm

So, what happens to Ron Paul’s leftover fiat money? Or did he collect election contributions in doubloons?

Valerie September 10, 2008 at 3:32 pm

[re=91567]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: It happened around the same time he switched parties. And my rememberator was askew…he only was gone from politics for about two years…not 10. Cried to Wendy and promised to be good. They’re still together, yes. Takes all kinds.

ps…thanks for making the assumption that if he’s gay he wouldn’t be dickish. I know that’s not what you meant, but I’ll pretend anyway. XOXO

Texan Bulldoggette September 10, 2008 at 3:33 pm

[re=91572]JadedDIssonance[/re]: You’ll have to let me know if you want a serious answer (lineage, temperament, etc.) or a snarky one. Also, it’s perfectly acceptable to dress up a bulldog but no lipstick EVAH.

http://www.zeldawisdom.com/store/cards.shtml

Oh & for the record, their are no ugly bulldogs. Period. Unlike certain humans I could name.

obfuscator September 10, 2008 at 3:35 pm

Lyndon LaRouche finds this situation to be very undignified.

Save those nerdollars for the new ticket-

HomoPolitico September 10, 2008 at 3:41 pm

Phil shoulda tried paying him off with gold bars and discount blow jobs from Forth Worth hustlers.

Texan Bulldoggette September 10, 2008 at 3:47 pm

[re=91575]Valerie[/re]: What I meant was for people to read ‘hugely dickish’ & infer ‘huge dick’=gay; it wasn’t a comment on his personality (which is hugely dickish!). No offense meant to the gay or the non-gay.

JadedDIssonance September 10, 2008 at 4:01 pm

[re=91576]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Actually, a serious answer would be wonderfully refreshing!

econdave September 10, 2008 at 4:01 pm

I think being subjected to Phil Gramm’s annoying accent and stupid stories about his mama count as torture under the Geneva conventions.

Texan Bulldoggette September 10, 2008 at 4:49 pm

[re=91638]JadedDIssonance[/re]: In a nutshell: Bulldogs were originally bred centuries ago in England to bring down Bulls (thus the term ‘bullbaiting’). People eventually realized that was a pretty damn cruel & sadistic sport & bullbaiting was outlawed. However, folks wanted to keep the breed alive, so they eventually bred the meanness out of them. They are now loyal, sweet, outgoing, & for the most part lazy (not the dog to go jogging with). Mostly, Bulldogs have to be artificially inseminated (due to the shortness of their back legs) & birthed via c-section due to the size of their heads & they’re not known to have large litters. For this reason, Bulldogs cost around $1500 to $2500. That’s why you probably don’t see a lot of them in your neighborhood.

Here’s my limited knowledge of Pit Bulls. Pit Bull is actually an umbrella term for many types of dogs historically used for dog fighting (Staffordshire terrier, Pit Bull Terrier, etc.). They are still aggressive in nature & without proper socialization/training can be mean ass dogs. They are also cheap, from $50 to $200 or so. Therefore much more available to the masses & to those types who would exploit that aggressive gene for reasons of cruelty, financial or machismo.

[re=91572]JadedDIssonance[/re]:
One third. Pit bulls are a combination of Staffordshire terrier, greyhound, and bulldog.

The Army bred them to run down, attack and then kill German Shepherd messenger dogs during WW II.
Damn good job they did too!

YellowSnow September 10, 2008 at 4:55 pm

[re=91518]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Freddie? Snow? That’s my white dream in Columbia…oh yeah.

YellowSnow September 10, 2008 at 5:04 pm

[re=91742]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Oooo. I like the sound of assdogs. what exactly can they do for me, as $1500 sounds like 4-5 nights with male prostitutes.

Strappo September 10, 2008 at 5:34 pm

[re=91575]Valerie[/re]: This if true makes me ashamed of my own homosexuality. AGAIN.

snig September 10, 2008 at 5:45 pm

I see a sort of uncomfortable meeting of “Former Paultards for Nader” with their new Hippy overlords.

Unindicted Co-Conspirator September 10, 2008 at 8:17 pm

I see those buses in Chicago all the time.
I wonder if Tom Raper RV of Richmond, Indiana has an interest in them.

This all makes sense now, as Ron Paul has served as both Cynthia McKinney and Phil Gramm’s gynecologist for years now.

Liberty September 11, 2008 at 3:07 am

you guys… like always have failed to report on what really happened.

ron paul refused to endorse a republican or a democrat because its obviously one party at this point, and if we want real change, his 2-3 million supporters should to vote 3rd party.

he called for all third parties to unite as one…REVOLUTION is coming so it doesn’t matter what your little blog spot spews. picking the lesser of 2 evils means you’re still picking evil…

by the way, ralph nader has come forward and believes an independent investigation into 911 is necessary. chuck baldwin wants an independent investigation, so does ron paul and cynthia mcKinney.

Baaa! Baaaa! republican, democrat, Baaa! Baaaa! we’re all just sheep believing in a 2 party system because they are so very different from each other! Baaaaa! feed me more propaganda!
