2008 campaign


2008 campaign and Financial and Gun Rights and News Media13 Mar 2008 10:32 pm

Well, I had a bit of fun this past Sunday, March 9th. It seems my good friend Ernie Hancock was off minding some R3volutionary duties in California and he needed someone to cover his Sunday morning radio show. So naturally he called me. Yeah, right.

At any rate, whatever possessed him to call me is fine. I jumped at the chance to show his listeners what a horrible speaker I am. Joining me was John Morino of We Are Change, who had been on the show with Ernie recently and who is quite well-informed and well-spoken. Characteristics that I’m sure listeners appreciated after hearing me repeatedly trip over my tongue.

But why take my word for it when, through the miracle of the internet, you can listen to it for yourself? Right here.

Well, I’ve had a lot to say lately about online polls and the way the lamestream media distort them. But what about those other polls that aren’t being won by Ron Paul? You know, those “scientific” phone polls that show Rudy Giuliani ahead nationally and Ron Paul in single digits.

Just how “fair and balanced” or “scientific” are they really? I think the little video below is interesting and more than a little relevant in that regard. In short, these polls are always designed to achieve the result desired by whoever commissioned the poll. See for yourself.

Sometimes I suspect the lamestream media outlets are locked in an intramural contest to see which of them can distort the news the most. The rest of the time I’m convinced of it. Now we have MSNBC’s latest effort to one up their “competition” by twisting the result of a Facebook online poll. Here is a screenshot of the results as of today, January 6th:

What’s wrong with this picture?

It may be true that Huckabee overtook McCain, but Facebook users actually chose Ron Paul with nearly twice as many votes as Huckabee, who is in second place. Not content to merely forget to mention who really leads the poll though; MSNBC then proceeds to juggle the order of the candidates to list Ron Paul last even though he’s in first place. Why don’t they just omit his result altogether? Are they afraid that someone might notice that the votes then only total 57%? Sheesh!

This silliness lacks the subtlety of AOL’s dishonest poll results. It is, however, exactly in keeping with previous MSNBC reporting I’ve mentioned on this blog. They will simply report the results of Presidential polling as though Ron Paul doesn’t exist. Are Americans really stupid enough not to notice, or is MSNBC so stupid as to think they are?

I guess we should’t discount the possibility that it’s all just a clever ruse to draw more viewers to their website. In the absence of linked articles, such as this one pointing out how utterly biased they are, MSNBC’s website would get a lot fewer hits.

After the success of the ThisNovember5th.com money bomb, what should Ron Paul supporters do for an encore? Why not grab a feather and a little face paint, then have a party of your own? Call it bigger, better, and historical.

We witnessed an amazing event November 5th when the Ron Paul campaign raised some $4.2 million, almost entirely over the internet; thanks to the independent www.ThisNovember5th.com effort involving over 36,000 donors. The lamestream media were forced to take notice and report the unprecedented result that day. Indeed the Lamestream Idiot Media Pundits (LIMPs) were so impressed that some even managed to report the event without adding their usual comment that Ron Paul has no chance of winning. Could it be that it’s starting to occur to them that he might?

Just a quick update on the result of the www.ThisNovember5th.com fundraising drive for Ron Paul. While the effort fell well short of the overly optimistic $10 million dollar goal, the $4.2 million from 36,672 internet donors it did bring in was anything but chicken feed. It also surpassed the previous $3.1 million internet record set last January by the Mitt Romney campaign. I think even Jerry Lewis has to be a bit envious of such an accomplishment.

2008 campaign and Ron Paul01 Nov 2007 02:05 am

Ever wonder what would happen if 100,000 people simultaneously ponied up $100 for the maverick candidate of their choice? That would be $10 million raised in a single day. Is such a thing even possible?

Well, this November 5th we might just find out that it is. You can visit www.ThisNovember5th.com to find out what its all about, but it’ll be much more fun to let Lovely Liv explain it for you in the 3 min. 44 sec. video below. Then grab your checkbook and make THIS November 5th one to remember. Do it for yourself. Do it for America. Heck, do it for Guy Fawkes.

Then join me in wishing my sister Michelle a happy birthday. At least she doesn’t have to share her birthday with…

2008 campaign and Entertainment and Humor31 Oct 2007 10:35 pm

Well, it looks like the 2008 Presidential campaign is really starting to heat up. Although Hillary Clinton may ultimately deserve much of the credit, Fred Thompson and Dennis Kucinich are also causing voters to look at candidates in a whole new light. Specifically, attention is turning from the candidates, to their spouses. Enquiring Americans want to know whether their next President’s spouse will cross the White House threshold sporting a cigar, or a tongue stud. :-P

While this angle parodies the Searching for meaningless leitmotif that will surely characterize lamestream media campaign coverage; in this case I think it serves to brighten up an otherwise dreary field of poseurs, cretins, and imbeciles. (Ron Paul being the exception that proves the rule, of course.) I’ll simply enjoy it as an entertaining sidebar before getting back to issues that are really important. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did.

 

 

2008 campaign and News Media and Ron Paul17 Oct 2007 05:48 pm

Just when you think there might be hope for the lamestream media they go and prove you wrong. The Ron Paul campaign has garnered a good deal of attention lately because of the good showing he’s made in numerous online and Republican straw polls. So how is one to justify the coverage in an MSNBC article about the results of the Conservative Leadership Conference in Nevada. The headline reads “Romney Loses NV Straw Poll.”

The actual result of the poll was Ron Paul in first place with 33% with Romney a distant second at 16%. Shouldn’t it read “Ron Paul Wins NV Straw Poll” instead? I guess MSNBC doesn’t want to put Paul’s name in a headline; at least not one with positive implications. So they’ve spun it as a loss for Romney instead. It may do more to hurt Romney in the long run however, as it will cause search engines to spit out an article that brands him a loser. This will be aided by the fact that the rest of the article centers on Romney and his efforts to woo conservatives. Unsuccessful efforts it would seem.

Mmmm!As long as I’m on the topic of great Ron Paul promotions, I would be remiss if I neglected to give a plug to my favorite Ron Paul promoting babe. Her name is Liv. She’s funny and she’s wonderfully cute, but sadly, she’s young enough to be my daughter!

I encourage everyone to click on whatever part of her picture you wish and visit her site. Once there you can watch Liv take off her clothes, shoot a beer, and generally be a bad influence. In short, all the things I look for in a girl. But best of all she makes a stupendous Ron Paul billboard. As you can see!

2008 campaign and Ron Paul15 Oct 2007 11:25 pm

Whoa!Well, it’s finally here. Ernie has finished his video of the Great Truck Stop Billboard Caper… and what a great job he’s done this time; on both the signs and the video about them. It just ticks me off that I had to work that weekend because this is one project that would have been very satisfying, as well as great fun to be a part of.

Not much else to say except that my hat if off to Ernie and the AZ-CA-NV crew. I’m humbled again.

Oh, and remember that this Ron Paul thing is just an internet thing and these billboards are just internet spam… or something. And Saddam had WMDs. And Osama did 9/11. And I won’t… you get the idea.
