Nick is Right!

In commentary on my last post about Ron Paul supporters unfurling banners on HWY 41/HWY 441 overpasses Nick says:

I know... are those guys nuts? What are they thinking trying to advertise a candidate they believe in, and trying to get his name out. It's crazy I tell you.

Sure, but I wasn't asking why but asking others if the Ron Paul supporters were doing the same around them.

Here is the latest way they are trying to advertise a candidate they believe in, and trying to get his name out.

UAB Spam Team Spots First Presidential Campaign Spam

Anti-spam researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) noted a disturbing new trend following Sunday's Republican Candidates Presidential debate. One of the candidates has a new spam campaign dedicated to proclaiming him victorious in the debate and extolling his virtues as the future president.

Ron Paul

It seems every weekend the Ron Paul supporters gather on some overpass around Appleton (HWYs 41 & 441) and hold Ron Paul banners for the traffic passing underneath to see. Last weekend it was near Fox Cities Stadium (Home of the Timber Rattlers and this weekend it was on a HWY 441 overpass.

How about near you? Or is it the fluoride in the water up here?

Re: Misplaced Effort?

Ron Paul seems to be the only one with bumper stickers/yard signs etc up here in the valley. At a Farmer's Market booth I work every weekend we have a customer who is always in Ron Paul gear and I got the trite sports schedule from her. I asked where her stuff comes from if over the Internet or if there is any sort of organized effort up here. She replied her stuff was from over the internet but there is a group of supporters who meet regularly.

I wouldn't call Ron Paul a twoofer but he seems to call to return to a day of splendid and mythical isolation from the world. My understanding is Ron Paul is a blowback guy, that is he believes we got what we deserved for meddling. Not an odd characteristic for his type, Pat Buchannan says the same about Pearl Harbor.

Unfortunately, too many get indignant about the claims and go for the easy and shallow refutation. Instead, I say the point should be conceded yeah its blowback. So what? Do we decline to go after the mafia because their might be a price to pay? Does the brave defendant not testify out of fear of becoming a criminal's target?

The comment about weed supporters pulling for him only goes so far. As soon as one of those guys talks about freedom for those who sell/smoke tobacco they turn cold, ask ET.
