Fortunately, Ron Paul seems to have not been quite so lame as to name his child after Ayn Rand; his name is Randall and he (according to Wikipedia) is the one who now goes by Rand in order to evoke the cretinous philosopher.

Why are you filled with so much hate?  Could it be jealousy?

LOL a Paultard in our midst.

Yeah, we’re totally jealous of batshit crazy racist assholes who want corporations to be free to sell baby food made from pulverized CF light bulbs.

You really have our number, Paultard.

Jealous of whom? I have a perfectly lovely head of hair; I’m ecstatic that my name doesn’t evoke an author of mash-notes for compassion-deficient, socially inept, self-important Galt-botherers; and I have no desire whatsoever to go into politics. But aside from that, you’re batting 1000!

PS: What Allan said! Now off with you—go Galt and deprive the world of yet another sniveling, pimply-faced Piggly-Wiggly shelf-stocker. That’ll show us libtardz what fer!

Get a life, morans!

Paultards….

Legitimized Selfishness.

They want a society that can only work off the labors of those that are diametrically opposed to their “theory” of: (picture three year old yelling “mine!!mine!!mine!!!”)

Seriously, they down our current system of government and economics…when half of the Paultards (the ones not certifiably batshit crazy) know they could never create a STABLE society from the ground up with their fantasy.  It can only take what sane people have worked for.

I want the lame-ass Joe Scarborough’s and Tucker Carlson’s of the world to take the last best refuge of scoundrels.  I’ve already enjoyed watching republicans hijack any scrap of a floatation devices and debris scattered around what used to be the titanic.  Paultards picture how you felt when those loser ass republicans hijacked your teabagging orgy?  Next thing you know some log-cabin Stockholmian will be “Going Galt”

I thought all the Paultards had “gone Galt”. What, you’re still living in your mom’s basement?

He looks like the love child of Ned Lamont and Rahm Emanuel. That baby would grow up to get the hell outta MY vote, by the way. “Visualize world peace! Do it!  Visualize it before I rip your fucking spleen out!”

Why are you filled with so much hate?

For me it’s that song that goes “I knew I loved you before I met you-oo-oo,” but—-in a far less contentious manner, mind you—-I’m sort of with Robert on this (assuming he’s not just employing Troll Patronization Gambit Delta). I dunno, I just can’t get worked up over the Randroids, at least as long as they remain ineffectual. The media arm, sure, I mean, the cable newsers and Go Galt bloggers just might be the most awful people on the planet whose trade doesn’t involve cutting hands off, but these party guys just strike me as naive, even disarmingly so. I’m fascinated by utopianism in all its forms, and the fact that it can be embraced by misanthropes just tells me that human beings are seriously colorful characters.

Plus, keep the other side busy with internecine squabbles, that’s what I say—-one, we’ve got our own voodoo-economical splinter faction to worry about, and two, let’s face it, a few cases in ‘06 aside, our guys haven’t really proved they can kick a coherent opposition’s ass yet. I like Maddow’s approach of sort of rooting for these cats (tongue-in-cheekedly, but not exactly ironically, either).

Eh, who knows, maybe I’m just over-inclined to see the bright side of non-theocrats on the right. You see guys on C-Span reading out of the bible on the House floor enough, a dog-eared copy of The Fountainhead is actually kinda cute.

Oh how I do go on though. Sorry ‘bout that, I’m done.

Doop dee doo, dum de dum

Could it be jealousy?

(slipping notebook sheepishly into backpack) Um… nnnooooo. What?

Paultard Libertarian paradise… Somalia.

Ron Paul is certifiably insane. But I nearly voted for him because he repeatedly (and I believe quite earnestly) vowed not to let his personal hallucinations and profound disconnects from consensual reality intrude on the decisions he would make as Chief Executive.

I don’t know enough about his son to make an informed opinion regarding his candidacy. However, I could not in good conscience vote for someone who looks like Reed Richards, President of the Fantastic Four Cosmic Hair Club for Men.

I admit I had a hard time listening to him talk because I couldn’t take my eyes off The Hair.  If only these video clips had wrap-around technology so you could see what it looks like in back.  I do give him credit for recognizing that the Republican Party is on the verge of extinction.

I kept waiting for Rand Paul’s hairpiece to rise up and say “I can haz cheeseburger?”

Now that I think about it, though, it’s wonderful that someone has finally found a practical use for a Tribble.

Somebody stole the tail off that poor man’s Davy Crockett hat.

I seriously love you guys.

And when PUMA finally implodes into a black hole (which appears to be imminent), we’ll always have the Paultards.

We love you right back, Allan.

Damn, I’ve been trying to determine which of these comments wins the thread:

It’s like Sophie’s fucking choice. Can’t do it. They all win.

Yes, the wingnuts are desperately grasping for debris in the water but they’re using what they can get their hands on to beat each other about the head and shoulders for not being pure enough.  That’s when they’re not scanning the surface to make sure some minority hasn’t gotten hold of a nicer piece of wood than they’ve got.  Every now and then they scream into the darkness that the iceberg their ship hit is proof that Al Gore is a big fat phony. 

And is that a price tag I see hanging from dude’s rug?  That thing would look no less fake if it were secured with a chinstrap.

I’m no Paultard, but at least they have somewhat more consistency of principles to their beliefs than your run of the mill GOP Jeebus lubbin sheeple.

On the otherhand, when will they just go Galt and stop interfering in government which by all of their measures is evil.

Ron and Rand Paul talk about liberty and the founding principles of the American republic in their politics.

The statists who despise individual liberty and the U.S. Constitution counter with erudite comments like, “His hair looks like a squirrel!”.

Yeah. In a rational world, we all know who would win that debate. Sadly, in “American Idol” world, the lunatics have taken over the asylum, and they seem intent on bailing out billionaires and making war forever. Just as long as they can act snarky while doing it.

There has been nothing but ad hominem remarks made against Ron Paul, his son Rand Paul, and in a further bout of non-sequitor, the novelist turned independent (non-academic and admittedly non-scholarly) philosopher, Ayn Rand. Now, you may as well assume what you like about me, since that is most of what you seem capable of doing, making stark assumptions based on seemingly nothing. Still, if the best you can do is make ad hominem remarks, you are pretty much worthless.  For example, the most I or anyone can do with you is argue about the irrelevant BS you dredge up in your remarks, or simply point out that they are ad hominem.

I have to agree with you Sean Edwards, when you say:

Ron and Rand Paul talk about liberty and the founding principles of the American republic in their politics.

And that this fact of what his stance is in politics, which is incontestable regardless of whether you agree with anything Cong.Paul says, is not substantively referred to by anyone here who would rather comment with insult and non-sequitor.  As in reference to how someone’s toupee looks, or with things like “Paultard.”  It’s not to say that there aren’t a huge number of idiots who no doubt understand that Cong. Paul is their own political choice and proclaim it openly, but I’m sure that the proportion of said sorts of idiots who fall under the rubric of say “Bushtard” or “Obamatard” would win in terms of raw numbers in a landslide.  This would no doubt include many whom I refer to on this “rumproast” site.  Then again, what can you expect from such a site?

People need to believe they have a bead on reality. You know when you are talking to your less advanced brethren in the species when you see them falling one by one to the specter of cognitive dissonance, passively accepting the frameworks of political thought spoon-fed to them by the axis of gullibility of their political science professors and the mainstream media.  Rand Paul looks a lot better in that toupee given the brain he has under it than do all his antagonists here, who hide their petty picadilloes behind the facade of a computer screen while making picayune remarks that indicate the poverty of grey matter which emits them, toupee or no.
