"Oh the humanity!"

My wife saw one of these over central Florida a few weeks ago. Who knew Ron Paul had his own air force.

In the higher resolution picture you can actually see Paul filling the balloon by giving a speech.

The perfect symbol for Ron Paul.
No substance, full of hot air, gets blown around by every wind that comes along, thinks he's above everyone else.

The harbinger of the revolution has a very wide turning radius.

I predict Ron's campaign will go over like a lead zeppelin - Keith Moon

Just like that liberal Ron Paul to use campaigning techniques not endorsed by the founding fathers.

The truth behind why Ron Paul doesn't insist on his donations being in gold ... the zeppelin can't lift the extra weight.

The Ron Paul zeppelin flies unhindered ... if you're not tacking flak, you aren't over the target.

Of course after the election, he gets to keep the zeppelins.

So Hillary is spewing green house gases from her private campaign jet and Ron is taking a low carbon foot print with the zeppelin.

Yes Ron, I'm sure it is cheaper, and I agree that other countries would find the US a lot less frightening with this as our primary armament, but I really think the B-2 is a better bomber.

It's probably appropriate that the aircraft of choice to represent Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign is the Warthog.

The Ron Paul Revolution: So obnoxious that it is even trying to outshine the Hindenburg’s notoriety for going down in flames.

1) The photo's obviously been photoshopped and the blimp turned 90 degrees, from straight down to horizontal..

2) Heh, this proves where Ron Paul's tactics in getting elected will fail. Where do you see blimps? NASCAR races and the beach. We all know who NASCAR fans shall vote for, and do you think the beach-goers are going to spend their time to vote instead of getting high?

* Wow! Are those Tie Fighters?

With apologies to the Beatles:

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right...
