There was some fool who kept writing “Vote Ron Paul!” all over the school, so I amused myself by writing some other political slogans alongside it. I was just playing along and made fun at canidates I liked, too. Vote Ron Paul: Why should your vote matter? Vote Rudy Guiliani: Because I did stuff on 9/11 Vote Hillary Clinton: Because you’re really voting for Bill Vote John Edwards: I came from a poor family and I’ll tell you all about it from my private jet. Vote Barrack Obama: You’re not _ **racist** _ are you? Vote Fred Thompson: Because I look like your old dog. You wouldn’t against Old Yeller, would you? ---

Not graffiti. Chalk on the blackboard. I have no idea who went around doing to Ron Paul thing, but he or she was DEDICATED. I’m talking walking around to building after building (always the same handwriting) and rewriting it after it was marked away. I like the Guiliani one. 😃 ---

There was a HUGE chalk drawing at my school that said RON PAUL REVOLUTION or somesuch. Then there have been people walking around saying, “Vote Ron Paul if you value change and your rights!” To which I replied, “Except your reproductive rights. Ya don’t need those! :)” “Omigawd!” they replied, “That’s a total falsity! He’s totally pro choice and loves people and babies and stuff. That’s just not true, ok?”\* Right-o, sister. \*Alright, not a DIRECT quote, but that’s more or less what I heard. ---

I try to keep up with American politics, but I have zero clue who this Ron Paul guy is. All I can picture is a drag queen selling Pocket Fishermen. ---

That’s not far off. Basically, he’s a hyper-libertarian whon looks like a skeleton with bulging eyes. He’s shrill and keeps yelling about far-fetched ideas, some of which haven’t been possible since about 1941. He has a small but fanatic following. ---

I’ve seen two “Ron Paul 2008” yard signs on display in the Lafayette area. If you’d like to learn more about the man, [here is his Web site.](http://ronpaul.org/) ---

[QUOTE=smiling bandit] Vote Rudy Guiliani: Because I did stuff on 9/11 [/QUOTE] You laugh, and I’m not a supporter of Rudy Giuliani…but. In a political conversation, someone was going on and on about how Giuliani’s campaign was based entirely on his 9/11 performance. “He only had ONE good day, and he’s running on that!” the person said. “True,” I replied. “But one good day is probably more than we get out of most of our leaders. It might even be enough.” Sailboat ---

Mitt Romney: It’s time a rich white man had a chance to lead this country. Rudy Giuliani: What are you gonna do, vote against me? Don’t you dare.
