Could such an oddball but somehow sensible concept have prevented the Civil War? Ron Paul thinks so. After all, every other country did it without a civil war…

Driving from Illinois to Georgia, we saw someone with a Ron Paul bumper sticker somewhere in Tennessee. I didn’t think those existed in real life irlstyles meatspace.

Today the only other place on the street that was open was that huge coffee chain. Dude that is always there was talking Ron Paul with a customer.

Could an internet subculture be much much huger than the mass media portrays it? Yes. Would this be one of those cases? That question is why this is interesting.

The Internet Effect: Re: Ron Paul.

Saturday, November 3rd, 2007

You people out there; you know who you are. You are mentioning Ron Paul in every messageboard reply, in every dumb profile, and in every blogtastical entrifimication. Please stop it. He’s great. We know. That’s enough.

Repeatedly mentioning Ron Paul in everything on the internet is just going to make people react to Ron Paul in the same manner that they react to advertising. People will utter “ugh” and be reminded of the band The Eagles, and they will then proceed to dislike Ron Paul. It will backfire. Don’t overmention Ron Paul. You’re not even Republicans, and neither is he.

Please, internet. I implore you to hear my cries and stop mentioning Ron Paul like you’re some sort of motherfucking balls-deep, black-ops, brainwashing secret forces type of bullshit. You’re not brainwashing anyone or convincing them to vote for Ron Paul. You’re just being repetitive and annoying, and it will effect Ron Paul negatively. You are not tricking anyone.

Sadly, I offer no links to back up these statements about Ron Paul. Like it or not, he’s a serious motherfucker with crazy new old ideas.

Election ‘08 status: Still writing myself in.
