And how about that Ron Paul? If only he wasn't into guns and rabidly pro-life.
And batshit crazy...
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

My neighbor has a Ron Paul bumper sticker. I keep reading it as RuPaul.

My friend's brother is super into him and keeps posting about him on his lj. I mostly ignore it but now my friend, persuaded by his brother I guess, is saying he might register as Repub so he can vote for Ron Paul in the primary. I'm not sure what his reasoning for this is but he's generally a super liberal and mostly logical kind of dude. So, what's Ron Paul's brand of crazy?

I read Dana's post as RuPaul and was like, "Pro-life? Guns? Huh. Never woulda guessed."

My brain thought Ron Paul was Ron Jeremy and I couldn't work out why he had anything to do with politics.

Ron Paul strikes me as a the government shouldn't do anything but national defense type. While deregulation and limiting government sometimes pretty good ideas, I prefer a more pragmatic view.

He's an extreme libertarian who wants to dismantle pretty much the entire federal government. (Like the Departments of Education and Transportation, for example. 'Cause, you know, if the free market can't provide roads and schools, who really needs 'em?)
[eta: He's also pretty rabidly anti-gay rights and anti-reproductive rights. So...yeah.]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Like the Departments of Education and Transportation, for example.
Hey, don't forget the federal reserve! We should have the gold standard and no income tax! (Because it's apparently 1913.)
He's sort of notorious in Congress for his oddball policy of voting against any legislation that's not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution.
