Pirates off the coast of Somalia get on board with the Ron Paul Revolution.
* Best I can figure, we’re either over Mogadishu, or Detroit.
You Best Call A Plumber Because this Floater’s Not Going Down Without A Fight.
“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.
“Hey, what flag is that down there?”
“That’s the new flag of South Carolina, sir.”
“Oh. I liked the old one better.”
The Definition For Helium and Ron Paul are Similar
(A Non Reactive, Inert, Noble Gas.)
The Looming Bunion
“Now We Know Why Ron Paul Wanted To Repeal The Gas Tax.”
” This Is What $500,000 Dollars Will Buy You.”
( A Bag Of Gas With A Note Attached )
Ron Paul denied knowing whose hot air was bearing his name.
OH!!… The HUMANITY!!!!!
Ron Paul publicizes plans for “new” U.S. military when elected.
Today A “Revolution” Tomorrow A “Yellow Submarine”
(Get Your “Ticket To Ride.”)
No wonder he talks funny…. It’s the Helium!
Ron Paul promises “lighter than air” burden of government.
Never trust a lofty politician with two first names.
(Over loudspeaker) “We are blimp. Your assets will be assimilated. Resistance to Ron Paul is futile.”
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.
Michael beat me to it.
The tower has informed me that the revolution will be delayed. They are working to get us in as soon as possible. Thank you.
Hindenburg II
Oh, LOOK! It’s the Mother ship! The Mother ship is coming to take us home to Ixglamadu!
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?
Micheal beat me to it too! I didn’t see it at first.Mea culpa!
Methane from bat shit powered?
Of course we all know that weird backwards “E” is to avoid including “evolution” in his platform.
At least the Hindenberg managed to cross an ocean before it crashed and burned.
The replacement of the death star was missing some qualities of the original.
Ceti sees it too, but they’re as confused as we are. And here’s the thing; It’s slowing down….
Yes….children of the kool-aid…..its an ill-wind that blows today…..
* Release the attack woodpeckers!
* “Okay, so hydrogen was a bad choice– ” — Hindenberg…. “Hey, I’ve got an idea… let’s run our cars on Hydrogen!!!” -Ron Paul
* Oh, my God… they’re TURKEYS!!!!! -Les Nessman
* Wow! Are those Tie Fighters?
* (Yelling) “CHEER UP, HARVEY!!! THE PARACHUTE COMPANY SAYS YOU’LL GET A FULL REFUND!!!!”
Look, there’s that Good Year blimp. Get ready for attack! If I don’t win this election, we can always cover sports events.
Too late, Rodney realized the concept art for his garage band’s album cover was too obscure.
It is Balloon!
(OFTR)
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…
As God as my witness…I thought Turkeys could fly.
My bad, I thought it said “RuPaul Revolution.” well, to be fair, that makes more sense.
The State of Carolina black flags Ron Paul and orders him out of the race.
Float like a butterfly, sting like a …, um …, a stingy thing.
Pirates of the Carribean 4: The Curse of the Interminable 2008 Presidential Election
The Pirates of the Amphibian was always Ron Paul’s favorite ride.
Now We Know How Ron Paul’s Getting The Nitrous Oxide Into His Rallies.
A 21th Century Political Campaign Ran With 19th Century Technology.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar…
All Dr. Evil wanted was a blimp with “lasers” attached and for Number 2 to spell his name correctly. Alas, he could get neither.
Ron Paul’s campaign has broken free from its moorings in South Carolina.
Can we secede again just until these candidates leave the state?
