He should be elated because Snoop Dogg is fucking awesome.

I'm thinking Jo Rogan and Snoop team up for a PAC and distribute the video all over the place!

I am reposting this. It is hard to believe how many of my stoner friends, to whom smoking weed is their primary concern every day, are unwilling to support RP. I know it is a simplistic distillation of his message, but if for no other reason "this".

I'm still waiting for Snoop and Willie Nelson to form a party whose sole platform is abolishing marijuana laws and the IRS.

I thought Gary Johnson just did that.

Kris Kristofferson sells gym equipment? Is he the before picture?

Wesley Snipes shilled for them to pay the tax man.

Ah. Like the Willie for Taco Bell stage.

Kristoffersen might be good to have on our side. Rhodes scholar, West Point grad, Army Ranger, helicopter pilot; he could be useful.

Reasons Ron Paul appeals to a wide base of people, most of whom would never dream of voting GOP otherwise = reasons the GOP voters won't vote for him.
But remember, it's all about electability and beating Obama!
Spencer|1.30.12 @ 11:30AM|#
But this is MY GOP- they say. The big tent is fine and good as long as there's a bouncer at the door.

I would vote for that ticket.

I've smoked all the weed in that bag, and I realize that green is really a number. Butfiat money *still* doesn't make any sense.
Old Mexican|1.30.12 @ 11:29AM|#
Re: Spineless coward,
Of course not. In order for it to make economic sense, you need an acid trip. Then you will be able to be fiat money and feel its smell.
Spencer|1.30.12 @ 11:31AM|#
That sounds like way better acid than I ever got hands on!

A couple weeks ago on Letterman they ran a bit about what Republican candidates did before they got into politics. Ron Paul was the, well, punchline seems a bit harsh, but he was revealed to be a Kentucky moonshiner, complete with footage of an old hillbilly dancing.
Probably got RP a few thousand more votes.
Old Mexican|1.30.12 @ 11:30AM|#
Re: NeonCat,
And Letterman probably lost a few thousand viewers, as if he had too many to count.
sarcasmic|1.30.12 @ 11:30AM|#
Obviously Snoop is racist, or he'd be supporting Obama.
Old Mexican|1.30.12 @ 11:32AM|#
I guess the newsletter rehashing didn't do its trick, huh Nick?
Bee Tagger|1.30.12 @ 12:09PM|#
I think this is taking your "Reason sabotages Paul" narrative too far. This is, on net, good press for Ron Paul and represents a dramatic shift in the popular culture perception of GOP candidates. Overwhelmingly good news if you only consider Reason's likely primary readership.
|1.30.12 @ 12:26PM|#
Nah. Reason has said what its gonna say about the newsletters. No opportunity to bust their balls for constantly beating that dead horse should be missed.
Old Mexican|1.30.12 @ 1:59PM|#
Re: Bee Tagger,
No, what I said was that the rehashing didn't work if even Snoop Dogg is warming up to Paul.
Score: Nick 0, Paul 14Mill

Dear Reason,
Please conform to Old Mexican's worldview and only cover current events affecting Ron Paul only when the news is good for him. After all, Paul is not a mere mortal politician but the infallible embodiment of all our vaunted principles. The goalposts should be very different for him than for the other impure politicians like that evil warmongerer and big government non-libertarian Gary Johnson.
Just button your lip, and when your readers wonder why Paul lost Iowa, just criticize the rest of the media for
focusing on factual events from Paul's history that he won't give straight answers on,sabotaging his chances.Bee Tagger|1.30.12 @ 7:14PM|#
Ah, gotcha. Sorry about the misinterpretation.

I get it. He's a doctor, specifically dealing in the feminine area. Cannabis has medical benefits. Periods cause bad moods. Weed puts you in a good mood. Take one gram by smoke at lunch break and again at 16:20 every day.

Shit Ron Paul Supporters Say

Among other things, this is a touching tribute to the vocal stylings of the late Nate Dogg.
Also, Snoop, Tom Petty, my 20 year old daughter and my father-in-law share the same birthday, which always makes me wonder where my father-in-law is hiding his stash.
