    World's Greatest Ron Paul Videos

    Posted:

    Ken Layne's OutrageDr. Congressman Ron Paul's supporters took "grass roots politics" to its ultimate, ridiculous extreme. They brought fun to politics -- even if they didn't see the humor -- and the nation's "Mainstream Media" will always be thankful for the Paul fanatics. Over a two-year-long presidential campaign that was always really about Hillary or Obama, the Ron Paul Love Revolution kept things weird.

    Nobody but the elderly Texas Republican's most ardent Internet followers ever believed Ron Paul had any chance of winning the GOP nomination, let alone the White House. And that's what made the Paulians such a hoot. Like a doomsday cult convinced that Jesus is coming back on a certain day that passes without any such apocalypse, the Paul People were constantly adjusting to the crushing sorrow of reality, but that never stopped them from making hilarious home videos about their hero.

    Way back in December, Paul's followers literally believed he was going to win the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary . And then he'd just cruise onward through Super Tuesday to the RNC convention on an unstoppable wave of Paulmentum.

    When that didn't happen, the Paulians kept frantically moving the goalposts from one GOP caucus and primary to the next. When he failed to win anything and told his followers he needed to concentrate on keeping his seat in the House of Representatives, they still kept hope alive. When he actually said he was ending his presidential campaign -- in a rambling seven-minute YouTube video posted Thursday -- his followers immediately dreamed up bizarre fantasies in which he magically won the Republican nomination anyway, and of course then won the White House.

    Of course none of that was ever going to happen, but the Internet is a richer, stranger place today because of Ron Paul's Internet Brigades. Let's remember together with the Very Best of the GO RON PAUL videos.
