Hey! That happened to him too!

/well, not HIM him, but you know

New here?

Shock the monkey!

I must surely protest, sirs! The headline is misleading and has little if anything to do with the article to which it is attached! Clearly this is an unprecedented occurrence and to see Fark sink so low is a most grievous breach of ethical and moral standards. I demand recompense!

Ron Paul

domussua: Actually, that's not what he said at all. It's one thing to not like the guy, it's another to slander someone in the interest of trying to be mildly funny.

Ron Paul: serious business.

But Paul also learned that, because of his lackluster showing in the polls, he will not be invited to participate in Sunday's Fox News/New Hampshire Republican Party debate, a key event before next week's New Hampshire primary.

FAIL

Ron who?

Leave Ron Paul alone!

Isnt there a place in Antartica called Little America?

excellent reinforcement, very matter of fact...

Are you sure you've been here since 2002 and didn't jack someone's account?

For those who think Ron Paul won't be President, I'd remind you that Steve Holt was elected student body president.

Oh goody, a thread where dumbass Ron Paul haters(people trying to fit in) argue with dumbass Paul supporters (who are trying to be different). Haven't seen one of these before. I only like Paul because he seems like he has some decent ideas, compared to...other candidates.

/mods should know better than to greenlight this for their sick entertainment.
//voting Paul (guess that makes me a dumbass by my logic haha) or Obama (provided one of them gets a nomination, doubt Paul will. Okay, it's not gonna happen)
///Paul might be radical, but hell we need some change.

I'm from Iowa and now live in Omaha, where we still get the huge pile of steaming shiat that is the media attention to this. I, for one, can't wait until the stuff is over so I can turn on the radio without the annoying ads.


/Until the election starts in earnest.
//Almost another farking year of this.

I HAVE nightmares about the "thing"


LEAVE ME ALONE!

This girl, Marla Singer, did not have testicular cancer.

Ron Paul less government
All other candidiates = MORE government telling you how to live YOUR life.

While the headline lacks funny, it certainly possesses an abundance of fail.

The Stealth Hippopotamus: Anagrammer: Leave Ron Paul alone!

I'm so sick of seeing his face plastered all over the intertubes. And the sly comments the radio people here make regarding it. Every flipping day. STILL.

"Leave ________ alone!"

Dude, get something new.

/Grumpy today

The Stealth Hippopotamus: Anagrammer: Leave Ron Paul alone!

He isn't. After making that video, he was required to turn in his man card.

When people try to convince me that Ron Paul is isnane, I just double-check the definition of Insantiy:

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"

Nope.

The last Zogby poll has him tied with McCain and Thompson for 3rd place. If you take into consideration that Paul's supporters are much more likely to be enthusiastic enough to get out to a boring two-hour caucus on a cold January night, it's perfectly plausible that he could beat out McCain and Thompson to secure 3rd. That's clearly John Zogby's opinion, he's predicted Paul could get as high as 17% and will almost certainly get 3rd. That would force the media to give him at least as much attention as they give the candidates he beat (which would include McCain, Thompson, and Giuliani) and would make it nearly impossible for Fox News to continue to exclude him from their forum. The New Hampshire GOP has already threatened to withdraw support from the Fox forum if Paul isn't allowed in. The GOP took a big hit in traditionally (libertarian-leaning) Yankee Republican New Hampshire in 2006. The Paul people have the potential to reinvigorate the party, and have proven that over the past few months, and the New Hampshire GOP is none too pleased with the prospect of all these new people not sticking around to vote Republican in local/state elections because their candidate was blacklisted by the media.

So, considering that Fox News has stupidly already assumed he won't place in the top 5 in Iowa, placing a strong 3rd would indeed be a "shock to the world".

If people don't vote for Ron Paul, it's because they hate the constitution and what our founding fathers stood for. Especially Jefferson.

Anagrammer:
Leave Ron Paul alone!

Classic.

My only question is how boring will Fark -briefly- become after Ron goes home.

Ron Paul

wrek: Ron Paul

THIS!

kindpastor: When people try to convince me that Ron Paul is isnane, I just double-check the definition of Insantiy:

Nope.

Actually, the definitions of insanity are:

1: a deranged state of the mind usually occurring as a specific disorder (as schizophrenia)

2: such unsoundness of mind or lack of understanding as prevents one from having the mental capacity required by law to enter into a particular relationship, status, or transaction or as removes one from criminal or civil responsibility

3 a: extreme folly or unreasonableness b: something utterly foolish or unreasonable

What you said was not the definition of insanity, but a pithy quote that humorously describes foolishness.

demanton: This girl, Marla Singer, did not have testicular cancer.

Yes but she belongs in the group moreso than you- she doesn't have any balls!

Maxamus: Ron Paul less government

I really like Ron Paul on the domestic views. If only I could vote for Ron on the domestic and Rudy on the foreign policies. Oh well I guess I'm voting for Mitt

Maxamus: Ron Paul less government

He should show his "less government" bonafides by retiring.

WAIT A MINUTE! i didnt see anything about antarctica....

I think they should hold it in a building without heating. See if they really want it!

Ron Paul

The Stealth Hippopotamus: If only I could vote for Ron on the domestic and Rudy on the foreign policies.

Do you not see the paradox of (rightly) acknowledging that it's wrong for the Federal government to run every aspect of our lives, but that this same government magically becomes competent enough to run a foreign nation, half a world away, that is not the least bit inclined towards democracy, and which is filled with violent people trying to undermine it?

Fark Iowa. And NH. And their stupid cockisususus.

RON PAUL

Sadly, he doesn't have a chance. Ron refuses to ignore the constitution, and that'll keep the average fear-stricken, nanny state-loving American from giving him support. We here in The Land of the Soft and the Home of the Dependent® don't like it when a candidate tells us to be responsible for our own lives and actions. That's's just, like, too much to deal with, dude. Now fire up a fatty and sign-in to Xbox Live!

pray.for.mojo: Fark Iowa. And NH. And their stupid cockisususus.

NH doesn't have a caucus.

Donald_McRonald: For those who think Ron Paul won't be President, I'd remind you that Steve Holt was elected student body president.

There ain't enough fanboys in the world to make that happen, let alone enough of them that would get off their lazy asses and go vote. That and if he does become a front runner, the media will shred him to pieces. It's not a conspiracy, it's just what they do.

Paul will shock the world by getting in the double didgets, securing 4th. Then maybe a 3rd in NH.

bighairyguy: et alone enough of them that would get off their lazy asses and go vote.

How the hell do you figure that Ron Paul's supporters are the lazy ones, when they are by far much more likely to actually get out and work for their candidate? Hell, more often than not nowadays they outnumber other candidate's supporters at that candidate's events.

If it's true that Ron Paul's supporters only constitute some minute percentage of Republicans, then the last thing you could call them is lazy, as they're out making more noise than everyone else combined.

Hello?!? Clearly the Fark admins have not read their instructions from party headquarters that any mention of "Ron Paul" must wait until after the primary.

/the conspiracy of silence continues
