Ron Paul: A Retrospective.

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

A few days ago Ron Paul finally dropped out of the race for the Republican nomination. All the hippies and wackjobs that loved this man more then their own sanity are in a state of mourning. This is also a huge loss for me because, like Mike Gravel and Rudy “Noun, Verb, 9/11″ Giuliani, he was a constant source of easy comedy. Now I’ll actually have to focus my attacks on Old man McCain.
So here is to all the hippies who blindly supported him because he is pro-hemp and anti-war without a glance at the rest of his record.
And here is to you Ron Paul. Here is to the man that:

  • Voted NO on the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act
  • Voted NO on establishing nationwide AMBER alert system for missing kids.
  • Voted NO on increasing minimum wage to $7.25.
  • Voted NO on establishing “network neutrality” (non-tiered Internet).
  • Voted NO on starting implementation of Kyoto Protocol.
  • Voted NO on raising CAFE standards; incentives for alternative fuels.
  • Voted NO on prohibiting oil drilling & development in ANWR.
  • Voted NO on keeping moratorium on drilling for oil offshore.
  • Voted YES on building a fence along the Mexican border.
  • Voted YES on banning gay adoptions in DC.
  • Is rated 0% by NARAL, indicating a pro-life voting record.
  • Is rated 5% by the LCV, indicating anti-environment votes.
  • Is rated 0% by the CAF, indicating opposition to energy independence.

    • Who would have guessed that stoned college kids could be so easily misled?

    Now that he is gone he leaves behind a nothing but cardboard signs and bumper stickers slapped up on telephone poles and mailboxes around my city. That is his legacy. Soggy, limp, useless hunks of cardboard flapping about aimlessly in the wind and old fading stickers barely clinging to rusty lamp posts. Fitting. Now who the fuck is going to clean up this mess now that his idiot fans have receded back to the paranoia of their 9/11 conspiracy forums?
