Hope for America

Ron Paul supporters outside the Target Center try to co-opt Barack Obama’s “hope” message:

You can tell the Paulite fringe from the left-wing fringe by the fact that after this chant stopped, the chanting stopped altogether because the young woman who’d been leading the chanting couldn’t think of any chants. The correct answer, obviously, would have been “what do we want?” “Gold standard!” “When do we want it?” “Now!”

Filed under: monetary policy, Ron Paul,

    Ron Paul supporters outside the Target Center try to co-opt Barack Obama’s “hope” message:

    To be fair, “Hope for America” has been on Ron Paul bumper stickers (the white ones with blue letters, not the blue ones with white letters) for some time.

    Examples.
