< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence Ron Paul's Rhyme Scheme
But this was all before the Ron Paul Revolution. While some will dispute the Republican-ness of many Paul supporters, they are nevertheless adding a significant and unexpected new dimension to the Republican race with their ardent support for Dr. Paul—and their mesmerizing rap videos. As for Paul himself, he told Time that while he definitely isn't down with the rap game, his supporters may be onto something: "The last thing I would listen to is rap. But there's something going on when there's a rap song about the Fed." After the jump Radar takes a look at some Ron Paul rap vids.
Using language it generally reserves for Democrats and other threats to Israel, political mag the Weekly Standard labeled this delightful home slice "the worst of the worst." Don't believe the hype. The combination of the rappers' street braggadocio and their suit-clad College Republican look provides a moment of race-based cognitive dissonance that hasn't been equaled since Terry Crews powerful performance in the movie White Chicks. The rappers do an admirable job of giving the gas face to almost all prospective Paul opponents, even finding a rhyme for Dennis Kucinich. But, inexplicably, they forego the hip-hopportunity to go buckass wild on Republican rhyme-bait Mike Huckabee. Mega-kudos to DJB and Politiko for overcoming the pressure that accompanied the success of their first Ron Paul track—Ron Paul Freestyle #1 —and making yet another solid contribution to RP rapography. If you like those songs that use the same refrain over and over and over again, welcome to the greatest song in the world. Otherwise, it's a bumpy ride.
How exactly these lyrics will advance the Paul candidacy remains unclear. But the beat is catchy.
I guess Governor Matt Blunt of Missouri loves Ron Paul with two ads on this page. I wonder if his papa Congressman Roy does too?

Drink it for the first time. All other candidates DENY LIBERTY. Ron Paul is the greatest candidate I've ever seen. Consistent for 30 years. No flip flops. We are done with WAR, we want a real currency, we want peace, we want the welfare-state for the military industrial complex to END, we want to fix America and stop policing the world and to stop the authoritarian oppression here NOW. Here is what the US Government without Ron Paul in charge has done to us: - 9 trillion in debt Ron Paul's record is crystal clean perfect and consistent. He takes no money from anyone but people and constituents. He is as pure as they come. One of my favorite quotes about Dr. Paul, "You're working for the most honest man in Congress." That was John McCain speaking to Kent Snyder in 1988. Posted by: mickrussom on December 13, 2007 6:47 AM Drink LiberTEA at the Teaparty, Dec 16, 2007. Drink it for the first time.
