“Dude! Where’s My Candidate?”
This is yet another Ron Paul “Hit Piece”...by the standards of at least one “genius” who shows up around here!
In that it is totally factual, inspired by a story in the MSM, and could be considered as less than flattering by one or more of his sycophantic* followers! ![]()
On my recent trip to California, I happened upon a dead tree newspaper story about… (don’t get ahead of me now!)...Ron Paul! (“Gasp!” says Gust! “I never would have seen that coming!”)
The article was entitled:
(Ooooh! It starts out positive, but then, turns into a hit piece !)
Hank Shaw details a bit of his fundraising efforts, mentions a few of his political views.
Then it got interesting!
A (Stockton) Record analysis of Paul’s campaign finance reports and state voting records shows that nearly half of Paul’s California supporters are not Republicans; in the Central Valley, 68 percent of his donors were not Republicans.(emphasis mine)
One of those things that make you go, “Hmmmm!”
This is a prime reason why Paul will fare poorly in California, according to political oddsmaker Allan Hoffenblum, a Republican who co-authors an annual analysis of state elections called the California Target Book.
”Everybody says he’s like Pat Buchanan but with more charm,”
Hoffenblum said…
”Really, he’s more like Ross Perot without the money.”

Remember, only Republicans can vote in the…wait for it!...Republican primary! So unless whatever supporters “the Doctor” has in California put down their bongs and actually re-register as Republicans, a lot of Californians are going to be sitting around saying:
“Dude! Where’s my candidate?”
(We won’t even get into the question of how many of those non-Republicans are Hillary supporters! )
* look it up, Gust!
