Ron Paul supporters have often taken a bashing in the media. In some individual cases that may be well-deserved. However, I find it fascinating that the cream of the crop of "Dr. Paul's Army" continually impress me with their outstanding ability to verbalize what's on their mind.
I regularly save some of my favorite "Ron Paul" comments from all over the internet. Here are just a few of the best and briefest for your reading enjoyment today:
Recent Events:
"Woo Hoo! Ron Paul moves into Second Place!!!! Eleven down, one to go."
"So now that it is down to Barrabas vs. Jesus, which do you think the Republicans will choose?"
"Now that stealth liberal McCain is the annointed one - should we change the party mascot to a Rhinasserous?"
Analogies:
"Honey, we've got an appointment with the good doctor. He said he will take care of that big government headache you've had for the past 30 years."
"Besides a physical obesity crisis in US, there is a crisis with an obese federal government that has burst the stitches of the Constitution intended to limit its size. The good Dr. Paul has the crash diet prescription that will save the national patient's life and restore it to vibrant health."
"A nuclear power plant has an operating license with technical specifications that define its operating limits. Go outside those limits and the NRC shuts the plant down. The Constitution defines the legal limits for the federal government. It has come to our attention that the government is operating way outside it's authorized limits. Time to put a new operator at the controls. His name is Ron Paul."
Media:
"The media will no longer get away with incompetent propaganda. Remember the Berlin wall coming down? The keyboard is OUR sledgehammer. Goodbye "journalists". Good riddance."
"Why don't they talk about this guy more on TV? I think eliminating the IRS is the best idea I've heard in my entire life."
"The media can convince the masses not to vote for Ron Paul, but they cannot make him wrong."
New Converts:
"I used to be a Democrat and I have voted in every election since I was 18. Being as how the Democrats are neo-cons to nearly the same degree as the Republicans I will vote For Ron Paul this year."
"After being a Democrat for 30 years, I switched parties to vote for him. Never active in politics, I signed up to lead a precinct and before I knew it, started a meet-up group. Now I am debating whether I want to remain a republican and work within the party to spread Paul's message of liberty, peace, and prosperity. There are thousands and thousands of us. GOP take note."
Sarcasm and Humor:
"Who is this Dr. Paul? In my neighborhood the police are being called out 3-4 times a week to control the massive crowds supporting Rudy Giuliani. His Contract with America will involve a man named Guido."
"Calling Ron Paul an "isolationist" makes about as much sense as labeling your best neighbor a "hermit" because he doesn't do donuts on your lawn or throw bricks through your windows."
"Look at all the subjects squirm, "I need help, I cant do anything by myself - Without Govt telling me what to do I Would be lost" - I like the idea of working 6 months out of the year for Govt, I wouldnt know what to do with all that money."
"All this "election" and "Democracy" stuff is sooo annoying. I wish we could just stop giving it all so much attention. It's really not very important. The people in charge are taking very good care of us and I trust them to protect us and do what's best for us, our progeny and our world, so let's not worry about it........Anybody seen any good movies lately?.....I just want some delicious bread and a good, bright and shiny circus."
"I'm not voting for Ron Paul because he doesn't talk about "CHANGE." We need CHANGE! He's just an old white politician with the same old ideas. Freedom, Liberty, Privacy, our hard earned Dollars backed by gold. Man who wants that? We want hospitals that make us feel like we are at the DMV or Post Office at Christmas time. We want higher taxes so that we can pay the interest on every dollar printed by the "Federal" Reserve. By the way, can you write in a vote on the Diebold electronic voting machines?"
"Gold tops $1000, the dollar loses 55% of its value vis-a-vis the euro, the house projects Iraq war to cost 2.4 trillion...hooray let's vote for global depression and a 100 year war in 2008. WE CAN DO IT! Vote Barack McClinton '08."
"Ron Paul can be cloned. It is 2008. We have the technology. We have the fundraising capability."
Perhaps second only to Ron Paul himself, my hat's off to all of his bright and entertaining supporters! Thanks for this great column material!

"I hate the gooks," McCain said yesterday in response to a question from reporters aboard his campaign bus. "I will hate them as long as I live."
Yeah, I get it, John McCain was held captive and tortured by the Vietnamese for five years. Well, you know what, a lot of people have personal trauma in their lives doled out to them by bad guys of every stripe, be they white or black or gay or Jewish or female. But we don't give those people the right to use racist and bigoted terms to describe an entire class of human beings, or even the specific people who hurt us. This goes a long way towards showing just how messed up Vietnam left John McCain, and why John McCain seems so willing to use racist attacks to take down Barack Obama. To McCain and the Republicans, Obama is just another "gook."
Oh, and just to be clear, the Somalians who dragged the lifeless bodies of US service members behind their trucks in 1993 after their Black Hawk helicopter was shot down, does McCain think it would be okay to call them "n-ggers" or "sand n-ggers"? (Or didn't those US service members suffer as much as John McCain?) Or how about the Israelis troops who blew up the USS Liberty, killing 34 American service members in 1967, does Senator McCain think it's appropriate to call them "k-kes"? Is attempted presidential assassin Squeaky Fromm a "c-nt"? I'm quite serious. Now, I'll bet John McCain would refuse to even answer the question because he'd say it's absurd, of course he wouldn't condone any of those words (at least that's what he'd say for public consumption). But when the victim of the slur is Asian, and the victim of the crime is John McCain, suddenly it's okay for John McCain to spout racism because John McCain would have you believe that he's the only American, the only soldier, to ever have suffered. He was tortured, you know. And he doesn't plan on ever letting you forget it.
Very nice comments those. In fact I'd also noticed how witty they are collected them in this blog post (http://ronpaulindia.blogspot.com/2008/02/ron-paul-quips.html)
