			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>Would you like to ride in our beautiful balloon<br />
Twoofers all get high in our beautiful balloon<br />
We could make some people think he&#8217;s a real candidate<br />
For we can fly, for our guy!<br />
Up, up and away<br />
Our beautiful, our beautiful balloon<br />
I know that it&#8217;s a blimp, but I&#8217;m still using balloon<br />
This parody works better if I use balloon<br />
We can raise a pile and sail along the silver sky<br />
For we can fly, Ron&#8217;s our guy!<br />
Up, up and away<br />
Our beautiful, our beautiful balloon<br />
Suspended under a goldbug canopy<br />
We&#8217;ll troll the net for a poll and spam it<br />
If by some chance you&#8217;re going to vote for him<br />
&#8220;Cut and Run&#8221; defines us<br />
We&#8217;ll keep moonbats beside us<br />
Ron is waiting there for our beautiful balloon<br />
We don&#8217;t have Romney&#8217;s hair in my beautiful balloon<br />
If you&#8217;ll vote for Paul we&#8217;ll chase our dream across the sky<br />
For we can fly, Ron&#8217;s our guy!<br />
Up, up and away<br />
Six million and a beautiful balloon<br />
OK, Blimp&#8230;<br />
Up, up, and away&#8230;..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>Former speech writer for Nancy Reagan and nationally syndicated columnist Mona Charen offers a review of the Ronulans &#8212; <em><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20071116/cm_uc_crmchx/op_54409" target="_blank">Too Close to Kooky</a></em></p>
<blockquote><p>Memo to: Ron Paul supporters</p>
<p>Subject: Your e-mails</p>
<p>Okay, enough is enough. Like every other journalist in America, and who knows, maybe the world or even the universe, I&#8217;ve been deluged with your letters and e-mails. So I&#8217;ve done as you asked and taken a closer look at your candidate. Here is what I&#8217;ve found:</p>
<p>1. Ron Paul is inconsistent. Though he calls himself a man of principle and is apparently admired as such by his ardent fans, his principles seem somewhat elastic.</p></blockquote>
<p>She also notes that Paul is &#8220;historically challenged&#8221; and (my favorite) &#8220;too cozy with kooks and conspiracy theorists.&#8221;</p>
<p>Go read the whole thing. If you don&#8217;t the black helicopters will start hovering over your house and beam it in to your brain.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve been warned.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>The Republican debate in Iowa on December 4th will not (as of now) include candidates Tom Tancredo, Duncan Hunter, or Ron Paul. The Iowa Republican Party, who is sponsoring the debate along with Fox News, issued standards for participation on Tuesday.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/2007/11/iowa-gop-inunda.html" target="_blank">Ronulans are not amused</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>That&#8217;s because the sponsors said participants need to average 5% support among Republicans in recent national or Iowa polls &#8212; and so far, Texas Rep. Ron Paul is one of the candidates not making the cut.</p>
<p>News of the party&#8217;s decision and how to protest it was spread quickly over the Internet by supporters of the anti-war, anti-tax, anti-abortion libertarian. &#8220;We are getting bombarded&#8221; with calls and e-mails from Paul&#8217;s supporters, said GOP spokeswoman Mary Tiffany. She said there were 25 voice mails from angry Paul supporters before the start of business Thursday.</p></blockquote>
<p>The answer Tiffany gives is exactly right:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m all about the First Amendment, but at the same time, how is this productive?&#8221; she asked. &#8220;They need to start calling voters and start door-knocking instead of calling the Republican Party of Iowa.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The deluded supports really think that they are doing much, much, much better than they are. Any suggestion to the contrary is treated as a) delusion, or b) a conspiracy.</p>
<p>Expect them to be in a foul mood for the next four weeks.</p>
