A Conversation with a Ron Paul Fanatic

Look! Up there! It's our awkward Paul blimp!

A typical conversation with a young Ron Paul fanatic: 

So I heard that you are a Ron Paul fan.

ISN’T HE F*#*ING INCREDIBLE!!!!

Wow…um, well, I’m not sure. See, I’m trying to decide. I was listening to Ron Paul and….

IT’S DR. PAUL!

I beg your pardon?

IT’S DR. PAUL. HE IS A DOCTOR. YOU SHOULD CALL HIM DR. PAUL. WE ALL CALL HIM DR. PAUL.

Oh….okay….I guess I can do that. When I compare Dr. Paul to Rick Santorum

WHO IS THAT?

Who is…..wait? Who is Rick Santorum?

WHO IS THAT? I DON’T KNOW WHO THAT IS. WHO IS THAT?

He just placed second in Iowa, he is running for President.

DR. PAUL DID WELL IN IOWA. YOU SOULD ONLY VOTE FOR DR. PAUL. DR. PAUL DID WELL IN IOWA.

Yeah, that was interesting because his foreign policy is….

WARS ARE BAD.

Yes, I agree war is bad and we have made some mistakes but…

WARS ARE BAD. ALL WARS. WARS ARE EXPENSIVE. THE WAR ON DRUGS IS BAD AND EXPENSIVE.

Well, that is partially true, there are some problems with the drug war but if we become a society that allows drugs it opens up a number of problems.

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. WE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. RON PAUL SAYS IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS.

Well, it’s none of our business until it filters into our communities.

THAT ARGUMENT IS DUMB. SOCIAL ISSUES ARE DUMB. I DON’T HAVE KIDS OR A FAMILY BUT SOCIAL ISSUES ARE DUMB. THAT IS DUMB.

That is the other thing, it seems like a lot of what he says sounds good in a vaccum but not in reality.

DR. PAUL HAS GREAT IDEAS. HE IS HONEST. DR. PAUL IS HONEST.

Yes but do you really think any of his ideas would pass in congress or be implemented if he was president?

YES BECAUSE HE IS F#&*ING INCREDIBLE!!!

Who? Ron Paul?

DR. PAUL. YOU SHOULD CALL HIM DR. PAUL.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

END THE FED.

Iowa Candidate Caucus: Candidates Caucus Too

Somewhere, a Ron Paul fan is tagging this photo.

***There is a little known but long standing stipulation in Iowa that requires all candidates to form their own caucus while all citizen votes  are tallied. Crooked Copy was given exclusive coverage of the event. The following happened in Des Moines, Iowa at 8:00 pm on January Third.***

***Door opens and Rick Perry enters in a huff***

Rick Perry: Sorry I’m late guys. I totally forgot I was still running for President.

Mitt Romney: That’s alright, I made you some cookies, chocolate chip, your favorite flavor. In fact I made everyone their favorite cookies. You can have as many as you want. I bought them for you. You may have as many as you want…..

Newt Gingrich: These cookies are fundamentally delicious. I’ll take a few more if you don’t mind.

Mitt Romney:  Well, this is embarrassing. I meant everyone but you Newt, not because I don’t like you, it’s…just…. ***looks at Newt’s stomach***…you know…..

Newt Gingrich: That’s alright. Let’s do roll call because Calista and I have a book signing and movie screening this afternoon.

Ron Paul: Don’t you mean campaign stop.

Newt Gingrich: ……..yes……

Newt Gingrich: Okay let’s begin. Michelle Bachmann

Michele Bachmann: Present. Can we all agree that I’m the only conservative in this race?

Newt Gingrich: Spare me, I was a conservative since you were hosting PG movie nights in your college dorm.

Michele Bachmann: Remind me Newt, was that while you were having your second or third affair?

She’s Baaaack…
