ron paul!
while listening to an audiobook, i check LRC now and then to see if one of the punctured louses over there has the unashamed lunacy to claim that the thief ron paul is “essentially tied for third” in the iowa portion of this month’s goonited states presidential politics stupidity.
will it happen? hmmm. sure sounds better than 5th place — two behind (w/95% reporting) fred thompson, who the LRC blog assured readers, contradicting the same article it linked,
Back to AEI and Hollywood

Fred, whose hilariously bad campaign–despite his fame and neocon backing–has never gone anywhere–plans to drop out and to back his fellow neocon John McCain. I’m sure McCain can use the additional 37 votes. (Thanks to Charles Everett.)
hey, it’s the same dickless collectivist cheerios who launched the concept of bent margin of error for polls — y’know, positing, for example, that if the margin’s +-3%, ron paul at 7% is tied with whoever at 13%… it’s “statistical“: take whatever integer error-margin value, double it, then add that to what LRC’s #1 career thief boy was credited for. those are the numbers the media sluts don’t want you to have!
just moi, or is the iowa result nearly matching RP’s recent poll numbers? where’s all that egg on faces, lew? checked a mirror lately, buddy? that was for NH and IA.
wait… this just in: it was the damned “Iowa Kristo-Fascists“. didn’t see ‘em comin’. but don’t worry, captain predicto says it’s gonna be the hill-bot and the paul-schnot. he’s rolling the dice. if that’s the result, get set for at least three self-congratulatory primps from the cappy. if it’s not the result, who cares? very few. that’s the cheapness of the angle cappy and lew figure you’ll not notice. all the predictions? throw away the bullshit, and tout the good. usual story — same that hatched psychics and general superstition. sweep away the wrong blabber. write it off to those damned kristo-fascists who appeared out of nowhere yesterday.
the intelligent know that it’s impossible to predict with any reliable brilliance the particular jaunty whim of the enslaved. just sit back and watch them do their sneezing. here’s a prediction that will not go wrong: the next president of the goonited states will be a lying shitbird with a long career of robbing the poor, middle-class, and rich. i am genius. hear me snore.
no matter what ron paul does, he can’t lose. don’t you get it? hell, he’s already won, converting previously sluggish wankers into actively state-supporting wankers. go, state! pull that lever for manhood!
watch NH. if RP does better than 5th, a split percentage point above the next guy will be huge. IA won’t have meant shit! it’ll be all NH, baby!
quick trip down very recent memory lane:
Neocons Start the Anti-Ron Paul Spin

We’re already hearing it. The Iowa Caucuses don’t really matter. The people are unrepresentative. Only New York or California should count, where Big Media and Big Money can work their will. Sorry, boys, it won’t work. Individual Iowans have gotten to know Ron. He will zoom out of that state like a rocket. And by the way, you won’t be able to work your warmongering wiles on NY or CA either. (Thanks to Luke.)
forward to the next evening, when lew now says — go fucking figure — the IA caucuses don’t really matter.
wait a sec, lewboorino; i heard ron would “zoom out of that state like a rocket”. i heard egg would be flying. ron didn’t visit enough diners for his victims to get to know him. fuck me; i didn’t see the “Iowa Kristo-Fascists” in the rearview.
embrace the horse, die by the horse. and if ron paul fizzles, LRC can’t even think about going back to comfort itself with its principles intact. they sold those down the river right along with the truth. sold for a horse. if RP “loses”, get ready for the spin in denial of that reality. but i forgot; no matter what happens, ron paul, representing “liberty”, will have won. remember that when the IRS goons come knocking; it’s not really happening, and ron paul doesn’t take his cut.
onward to NH, statists! new bullshit and flip-flop opportunities await.

If ol’ Ronnie Deuce (Reagan being the Foist) loses, there’s always 2012!
Slogan for 2012 campaign: “2008, Never Forget!” (to the tune of “9/11, Never Forget!” in the tune of A Minor)

just think how much more he’ll have to make better then. will be quite the timely tonic. he’ll also have more social security types and food stampers he can boast of preserving in the name of the US constitution. more voting gimps to not be “turned out in the cold”.

I think actually that the mantra is that a bunch of new members of the Revolution are going to be running for office. RP himself will be into his 80s by then. You’ve got to ask yourself how much steam the guy can have. I think that it’s now or never for him.
As for his movement, I suppose that it will have as much lasting impact as the Goldwater, McCarthy or Perot movements (for what they were worth). Well-intentioned, honest people in politics eventually go back to minding their own business. It’s the true scum that have staying power.

how dare you, joe? how dare you!
i’ll bet you’re one of those types who were scoffing at moses as he raised his arms to part the red sea. no faith. ronnie-bot’ll outlive us all. or there’s no jesus. i saw him drinking some of that blue liquid stuff at an ioway diner the other day, like the science officer guy from Alien. if he doesn’t get nominated, ronnie’ll spin cake-beater circles around the dirksen building, his arms flailing while fedgoon cops try to knock off his CPU with a baseball bat.
although… i have seen moments where it almost looks like the lord and savior was headed into the senility border. that would indicate humanoidility. if so, i put him just a few years behind reagan on the jelly brain plan. oh, so brave though. must be tough flying around the country yapping about politics on the dimes of fools.
that’s the ultimate gig for a blogger.
“what do you think about [blah blah]?” gee. tough one.
carries his own suitcase around airports too, just like a real person. i think i’m in love. Somebody Get Me A Doctor!

[...] emperor factory; taken into account, lew’s emperor contest predictions have still generally sucked. confidence of an insider though. an old DC [...]
