Ron Paul’s supporters are at it again, participating in their Democracy. Even though their guy won less than 5% of the vote in the Missouri Republican primary there on February 5, they made sure to show up for their party caucuses this weekend. And simply by appearing physically at these events, which are normally the exclusive domain of elderly cranks with ham radio hobbies and 40-year unlapsed subscriptions to Reader’s Digest, these civic champions were able to remake the face of the Missouri Republican party.

The first time that Texas hobbit Congressman and Peden vanquisher Ron Paul quit the race, it was really just a cry for help. Now he really means it. In a 7 1/2-minute video posted last night, he tells his supporters that “victory, in a conventional sense, is not available in the Presidential race.” MORE »

When brave CPA and proud Christian conservative Chris Peden decided to run against incumbent Congressman Ron Paul in Texas’ 14th Congressional District, there was one challenge he didn’t count on: Hillary Clinton. And now it appears the Senator from New York may prove just as adept at ruining things for Republicans as she is for hope-loving Democrats! MORE »

Doomed presidential candidate Ron Paul is truly leading a movement, and the proof is in the massive turnouts he regularly achieves…and the tragically low number of people he is able to convert into actual voters. Last Saturday in Austin he held a rally of semi-historic proportions, gathering 4,000 people on the University of Texas campus to hear him rail against the criminal Federal Reserve. And that day, a whopping 54 people cast an early ballot on campus for a Republican presidential candidate. Assuming every one of those votes went to Dr. Paul, he will only need approximately eleventy zillion more rally-goers to clinch his party’s nomination. [Burnt Orange Report, Daily Texan]

Ron Paul, presidential frontrunner and our nation’s last surviving delegate to the Constitutional Convention, signed a copy of his favorite publication and now it is available for purchase on the eBay. Bidding for a Ron Paul-autographed Constitution was at $26 at time of writing. Not sold? What if the seller were to throw in a mysterious “free gift” of some sort, a precious bauble of divine origin?

Libertarian super-chic magazine Reason held its “Secular Christmas” party in DC last night, and Team Wonkette was all over that shit. Among the many (one) super celebrity guests was Christopher Hitchens, whose alcohol tummy shone in full force as he led a sing along to a secular version of the already-secular “Deck the Halls” carol. Then he left before we could say hi, totally lame, screw that guy. But editor Nick Gillespie — who I think I’ve called a Paultard a few times — was kindly, and we thank him for the several bottles of Yellow Tail shiraz that we chugged. Anyway, masterful chronicler of the Human Condition Liz Gorman was on the scene to take some photos, so check them out if you want to live.

A simple internet diversion: ask “Do Libertarians Ride Subsizied Buses?” on your blog, watch the crazy PaulTards roll in to comment a million times. [Free Ride]

On this day in 1935, during the Great Depression, Doctor Ron Paul was born somewhere, in Pennsylvania. Ever since, his online fans have been readying for the 2008 race and the inevitable 2009 inauguration of our 44th president, President Dr. Ron Paul. MORE »

That is the one vote cast against giving Rosa Parks the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor, and it was cast by Mr. Ron Paul on April 20, 1999. This isn’t exactly breaking news but we were reminded of it today (it’s apparently been making the email rounds at a couple lobbying houses) — Ron just hates giving out medals! He even gave a little speech:
