Been meaning to put this up for a couple days … if only I was a full-time blogger. Yeah - like Sallie Mae would permit that. Anyway:
Rep. Ron Paul is still in the GOP race and even drew 16% of the vote in the recent Pennsylvania Republican primary. Now his supporters are planning to stage a “revolt” at the Republican National Convention in September, possibly with the aim of securing Paul a prime time speaking slot.
Conservative radio talk show host Mike Gallagher told the hosts of Fox and Friends on Tuesday, “There is no question that this could be a major headache for John McCain.”
Doesn’t this make you love Paultards even more? Anything to knock the Psychogeezer™ off his stride. And, as John Cole pointed out, he’s got another problem - one Bob Barr:
And while I cheer this chiefly for the mayhem, the simple fact of the matter is that either Ron Paul or Bob Barr would be better than John McCain. I am still pretty convinced that Bob Barr is batshit crazy, but at least he has been right on some pretty important issues, and right on some trivial ones as well.
Fun times ahead. Count on it. Libertarian chaos comes home to roost. The GOP’d better batten down the fucking hatches.
The real question is...how many times will the phrase "September 11" be mentioned on that stage in St. Paul.

Maybe if the GOP didn't suck so bad, people like me wouldn't be considering Bob Barr (no I'm not a Paultard, although I do have ambitions of living in my mother's basement, which could be considered a pre-req to be a Libertarian).

the libertarian conference is in the next couple of weeks...that should add some interesting elements...I actually would love to see Ron Paul speak at the GOP convention( just to watch how he does....and watch Mccain's head explode)
I am curious about Bob Barr...and his effect and level of support...
What was really odd - if you watch the primary numbers state by state- Ron Paul, Huckaidiot, and Willard ALL kept getting signifigant numbers- enough to pull up to 30% away from McSame...

Someone pulled the main pole on the big tent, and some of the craftier rats escaped!

Hey, the more, the merrier. I'm worried about a popcorn shortage as November approaches. So many of us will be wanting to sit back with a big bowl full as we watch the fun on the right.

Paul, Barr, and "Keating Five" McCain all are racist, misogynist, and heterosexist bigots. They all are worthy of nothing but contempt.

The Ron Paul Revolution! Yep---revolting for sure. Back to the 18th century!

Hey! Thanks for all the great info. I was browsing through a bunch of political websites and blogs (mostly liberal ones) and I came across your blog and find it to be very interesting. There are a bunch of others I like too, like huff post, and other news sites like politico. Do you know of any that cover politics and the environment? I saw earthlab.com which has mostly environmental info but some politics. I took EarthLab.com’s carbon calculator (http://www.earthlab.com/signupprofile/). It was pretty easy to use (and it doesn’t make me feel guilty after I take it). Are there any other blogs you would recommend? Can you drop me a link to your favorites or any ones with green info?
