- RON PAUL MIGHT RUN IN 2012: Wouldn’t want to disappoint the Internet, would he? Paul’s spokesman and “grandson-in-law” Jesse Benton says that a decision would have to be made in the next six months, so as to set up early ground ops in Iowa and New Hampshire if the answer’s “yes.” Could Ron Paul be the next John Edwards? [Reason]
The decision has to be made in the next six months because that’s how long it’ll take to blow up the blimp.
Serolf Divad: WIN.
RON PAUL/CRYSTAL PEPSI/TRUCKNUTZ 2012!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please, Jeebus, let this happen.
Ron Paul is more a part of the internet than anyone or anything!!!!!11!!!1!!!!one!!
The only proper pairing for Ron Paul is the way that his supporters access his wisdom!
RON PAUL / AOL 2012!!!!
Serolf Divad: And if they start hoarding copper wire now, they’ll be able to afford it by the time the campaign gets serious. Or maybe a bunch of mylar balloons.
IF PAULTARD CAN WIN THE INTERNETS THEN OBVIOUSLY HE CAN WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION. JUST GO TO YOUR POLLING PLACE AND PUNCH “PAULTARD” A MILLION TIMES AND ARTIFICIALLY MANIPULATE THE RESULTS FOR rEVOLution!!!!1!
Guys, this is a really scary idea. By 2012, a lot of Ron Paul’s supporters will have hit voting age!
Please oh please oh please let them do another Paultardpalooza. That was awesome.
Ron Paul 2012! Because US America needs more failed economic/political ideologies!
Please let him run again. The Paultards need something to believe in. It’s also a great way to splinter the GOP.
…if the field of GOP candidates gets anymore ridiculous, they will have to give them their own show on the “Cartoon Network”!
Paging Ashley Todd…
At least Mort Sahl realized it was a joke. Paul/Sahl ‘12? He’ll be 85 then, which is just a few generations younger than McCain.
mattbolt: But then, like one’s obsession with Atlas Shrugged, the age of majority generally equates with a complete dissipation of interest.
AngryBlakGuy: I would vote for any of the bit players in Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job before casting a ballot for Mittens! or Caribou Barbie.
He’s gonna be 77. WTF.
That said, it’ll add to the general zaniness of the Republican 2012 primaries. It’s already a packed circus. Paul might be just enough to set the tent on fire.
He’s already a babbling old coot, how old and worthless will he be in 4 years?
At least he could pull the ol’ Ross Perot and be an election-spoiling third party candidate, siphoning off about 3% of the vote from Palin/Jeb Bush ‘12, meaning Glorious Dear Leader Obama will win his second term by 90%-D 7 %-R 3%-I instead of 90%-D 10%-R. CLEAR MANDATE.
Obama v. Paul is a Win/Win.
thesycophant: mattbolt: I’ve got the perfect running mate for him: Robert Byrd. Crusty Bastards FTW 2012!
Reasons we should embrace this:
- Comic relief, like a jester that appears in the final act of a Shakespearean tragedy
- Will keep the GOP infighting, haha, dorks.
- Absence of blimps in my life
- Keeps Paultards on the internet and off the streets, where they could be doing God knows what, since they’re all stuttering tinfoil-hat freaks with Aspergers and beards
Did Dave Weigel vote for Ron Paul? Jim, you must know the answer, and I refuse to read Reason.
Rule of thumb: if your grandson/daughter is old enough to give a comment to the press about anything other than the Jonas Brothers, you are too old to run for President in four years.
We should all be thankful in today’s economy for returning to the Comedy Gold standard.
Ron Paul can run as long as he deems himself fit. When’s the next marathon? I picture some guys running next to him (prodding him if you will) with Chain Mail Armor (+2) and Jewel Encrusted Two-Handed Swords (+3)
AngryBlakGuy: Dude! Like this?
The greatest presidential ticket ever: Ron Paul/Dennis Kucinich 2012. I threw Kucinich in there because his wife makes me feel all funny.
does this mean the battle for Middle-Earth continues?…
RON PAUL/TRUCK NUTZ FTW!!!!!!!!!! START THE REVOLUTIONS IMMEDIATELY1!1!!! PALIN FOR SECRETARY OF BIBLES AND SNOWMACHINES!!!! PALIN’S WITH SLAYER FOR SECRETARY OF KILLIN WITCHES WITH GOD WARRIOR POWERS!! CRYSTAL PEPSI FOR SPEAKER OF DELICIOUS!!!!!!!
Anonymous Office Zombie: totally on board with RON PAUL/TRUCK NUTZ ‘12 — I mean, only a Federal Reserve - Fiat money lover could be on the other side. but do we actually know Truck Nutz’ stand on these crucial issues. Does Truck favor a return to the gold standard? What does Truck think about blimps? So, so many questions.
How is this news? Since I first voted for Ron Paul in (I think?) 1984, maybe 1988?, I just assumed he was one of those perpetual no hope candidates, like Nader.
He’s been on the ballot a zillion times already, why would 2012 be any different.
Isn’t he about 70 already? I will vote for him nonetheless to protest Obama appointing Jews and Clintons to every office in the land…
I think by then most of his supporters will have moved on to some other even fringier candidate they can print up money and do creepy CG ads for. Like an alderman or state comptroller. Plus some might get disillusioned that the secret conspiracy behind 9/11 hasn’t been revealed and yiffing hasn’t taken over large swaths of the American populace yet. There’s that.

I believe in Ron Paul! This time he’ll come back with a WHITE BEARD! A long flowing WHITE beard and holding a CRAAZZY stick, all gnarly and twisted. Upon stealing into the Castle, Ronneth will tap his stick three times and King Constitution, long frozen and old, sitting in his throne will have the spell broken. And it was GOOD. Yer damn tooteth!
AOL/OnlineSurvey.com/Internetpetition.com polls are in total agreement. This is the change ‘merka wants. Also, more sundown towns.
And it begins again.
Start hoarding popcorn, folks.
qwerty42: “Truck Nutz’ stand on these crucial issues. Does Truck favor a return to the gold standard?”
Truck Nutz is all about the Aluminum Standard, or the Ceramic Standard. Those people talking about the Plastic Standard are in a seditious splinter group, secretly funded by American Express.
I believe Ken Layne is behind this.
He’s paying off Paul because Wonkette’s page views have a huge increase & he makes more money, real money, not Ameros because of it.
SayItWithWookies: By 2012, bits of copper wire with be the de facto currency of the US, along with nuts/bolts and individual condoms. Higher denomination transactions will use cigarettes and whiskey.
