According to his website:
"Imagine.. the mainstream media is mesmerized as the image of the Ron Paul blimp is shown to tens of millions of Americans"

Airships have always generated great public excitement....sometimes in a negative manner. It seems to me that this fake Republican's presidental campaign is headed towards Disaster, much the same as another famous dirigible:

Ron Paul has some good ideas (e.g. gun rights). But him being a cowardly pacifist unwilling to confront our enemies totally ruins it

Equally humorous are his "brier patch" supporters...

maybe it'll act to show how much money he's raised, but I can't picture someone voting based on a blimp. That being said I hear Chuck Norris is backing Mike Huckabee, so I guess you take what you can get.

I flashed on the image of "..huge used care *SUPER TENT SALE* as well as the Hindenburg.... and you're right Ron would be an OK candidate if it weren't for his horrific foreign policy and that he's a bit iffy on immigration and the border.
I personally like Duncan Hunter. He's rock solid on Amnesty, illegal immigration and border issues.. he has actively worked on freeing the 2 border guards that were maliciously prosecuted by our government. He's also in favor of rebuilding our military. Unfortunately it looks as it will take a miracle for him to win the primaries.

Yup, a pacifist, blame America first, isolationist gasbag.
The blimp is a fitting symbol, isn't it?

Wait! That is how he decided to spend all that money that he raised? That is humourous!
Can't agree with you more. Libertarians are great at the local or state level but their hide your head in the sand and hope nobody kicks your exposed kimosabi is more then dangerous at the federal level.

Nope. Why so afraid? You must either enjoy being lied to, or you're a Straussian liar yourself. Either way, not very American of you.
"A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated [in the Federal Reserve System]. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men.... We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world-no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men." - Woodrow Wilson (Quoted in "National Economy and the Banking System," Senate Documents Co. 3, No. 23, Seventy-sixth Congress, First session, 1939.)

I don't like Ron Paul either, but it takes guts to talk peace. It's easy to send someone else's kids into war with guns blazing.
