Oh do make sure to help out Dr. Ron Paul by voting in his who should be my Vice President when I am President poll! Look at all the completely random former novelty politicians and immediate family members there are to choose from. [RonPaul via Hit & Run]

Ron Paul would be a yout-ful 75. Judging by the way Barry has aged since becoming Preznit, I’m guessing Ron Paul if by the graces of an excessively cruel and mischievous Loki became preznit he’d end up looking like the Crypt Keeper afterwards.

Barry White Zombie November 6, 2009 at 11:52 am

I can’t decide between the zombie corpse of Ayn Rand, Michele Bachmann, or a trout. I think the trout offers the most intellectual heft for the ticket.

shadowMark November 6, 2009 at 11:52 am

Paul/Palin is good because it sounds like a command: Paw Palin and as weird as she is, I find her kind of attractive in a turn-off-your-mind-relax-and-float-downstream kind of way. I’d paw her.

Snarkalicious November 6, 2009 at 11:52 am

Lyndon LaRouche. Or perhaps the drummer from Fog Hat. OOH! YES! Ron Paul/Zombie Wesley Willis ’12.

Brendan M. November 6, 2009 at 11:52 am

Definitely Lew Rockwell, the least-subtle racist of all Paultards.

finallyhappy November 6, 2009 at 11:53 am

I voted only for one- because there is only one- Mark Sanford.

Paterlanger November 6, 2009 at 11:54 am

How did Ellsworth Monkton Toohey not make this list?

Jesus?

blader November 6, 2009 at 11:55 am

I find it deeply ironic that Paultards consider Sarah P too crazy

glamourdammerung November 6, 2009 at 11:55 am

Willis “the Holohoax did not happen” Carto. After all, they are already quite chummy with each other with Carto having been the publisher for multiple Paul books/screeds.

Squiggy November 6, 2009 at 11:57 am

Naturally, the only man suitable to run with Ron Paul, is RON PAUL!

Or Jesus.

Bring back an old school crazy — David Dukes!

freakishlystrong November 6, 2009 at 11:58 am

Wow! That’s quite a stew of crazy to select from. I’d go with McCain, it would look great on a blimp; Paulie/WALNUTS.

AbstinenceOnly Ed November 6, 2009 at 12:00 pm

David Icke. A little British, but at least he’s HUman.

magic titty November 6, 2009 at 12:00 pm

I thought Ron Paul was already President? I’m so confused…

JMP November 6, 2009 at 12:01 pm

The only requirement for that list seems to be being batshit insane; they even threw in a few liberals of the crazed variety. My votes would go to the ultimate Objectivists John Gault, Andrew Ryan, The Question, and Gorilla Grodd.

The Church of Realism November 6, 2009 at 12:01 pm

[re=452171]Brendan M.[/re]: Rockwell always feels like somebody’s watching him…

bureaucrap November 6, 2009 at 12:01 pm

The 9 percent that voted for Dennis Kucinich to be Paul’s running mate (see website) and the six percent that voted for Alan Grayson are either confused as to what Ron Paul stands for, what Kucinich and Grayson stand for, or both.

On the other hand, those combinations would be REALLY FUN to watch, both on the campaign trail and governing.

Mr Blifil November 6, 2009 at 12:04 pm

[re=452163]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Well, in Barry’s defense, I’m his age almost exactly, and this is the year where I’m beginning to look like an oldz. And let’s just say I don’t have quite as much on my plate right now as he does.

Also I am disturbed that Jim Newell is not being considered as RM. Also.

I vote for Mwai Kibaki, current President of Kenya since 2002. He should be available by 2012 and I know a place where he can get a birth certificate.

comicbookguy November 6, 2009 at 12:06 pm

I vote for the gold standard!

SayItWithWookies November 6, 2009 at 12:10 pm

I’m sure Huckabee and Romney would be honored to play second fiddle to Ron Paul. And just so the poll isn’t all right-wing crazies, they’ve thrown in Cynthia McKinney. But hey, you know who would really complete this ticket? Tom Cruise. It would take the freak thing to a whole new level — and hey, it might even attract girls to Paul rallies.

Cynthia McKinney will strike you all with a closed fist for failing to recognize her as the one true choice for VP.

SmutBoffin November 6, 2009 at 12:21 pm

Choose a hypothetical running-mate for a hypothetical candidacy for a hypothetical election. (There will be a Teabagger revolution against Socailisms sometime soon, right?)

Somebody suggested Noam Chomski because he’s a socialist libertarian. I thought that was cute.

Smoke Filled Roommate November 6, 2009 at 12:24 pm

Ted Nugent.

comicbookguy November 6, 2009 at 12:26 pm

The selection process is simple, really. Hold a town hall meeting. First patriotic citizen to show up with an assault rifle wins the nomination.

WarAndG November 6, 2009 at 12:26 pm

Ronald Reagan’s corpse would turn out the base.

David Lee Roth.

Lola Falana. She was good enough for Johnny Carson, she’s good enough for God’s America.

Or Charles Nelson Reilly, professional talk show guest.

Mr Blifil November 6, 2009 at 12:30 pm

Is it to out there to suggest the blimp as his running mate? Because why the fuck not?

SmutBoffin November 6, 2009 at 12:31 pm

Does is count as a single running-mate if I suggest “the head of Alex Jones grafted to Lou Dobbs’ shoulder”?

PabaBritannica November 6, 2009 at 12:32 pm

The best part is the post at Reason which treats this whole thing as so very plebian. I mean, don’t they have better things to do like discuss whether private prisons are a great idea or the best idea, or why Ayn Rand should be more influential than your own brain in your own life.

And why is my former representative Mel Watt on that list? Because they needed a black dude and his name came up in the random representative generator? Why not Micheal Steele or that other guy that ran for RNC chair, or Jimmy JJ Walker or Mr. Bojangles if they’re still alive, those guys were funny.

JSDC007 November 6, 2009 at 12:34 pm

A Ron Paul – LaToya Jackson ticket is what America needs now.

A broke and divided country needs something to laugh about together.

qwerty42 November 6, 2009 at 12:36 pm

can you vote for a group? I’m thinking Dr Congressman Ron Paul would work well with the Lizard People.

Glad to see they’re gathering behind Peter Schiff, who’s currently getting about 2% in the GOP primary polls in Conn. He’s already polling well within Paul territory.

[re=452231]Mr Blifil[/re]: Your suggestion (Paul/the Blimp 2012!) is indeed to “out there,” not serious, and is in fact an attempt to ridicule the Ron Paul candidacy.

Consider it heartily seconded.

GeneralLerong November 6, 2009 at 1:05 pm

Paul/Palin would never work, because of course she thinks it should be Palin/Paul. Or Palin/somebody. It doesn’t really matter who “somebody” is, because what does the vice president do, again?

Wanna whole lotta reEVOLution? Then choose John Paul Jones!

1. Ron Paul/John Paul has a really catchy ring to it.
2. He would appeal to the bass.
3. He already knows his way around a zeppelin.
