Most airships today use helium, not hydrogen.

Paul’s airship, however, will use the “hot air” (no pun intended) from those gazillion RonPaulettes shouting “…and vote for Ron Paul” as you go to the restroom.

Or perhaps, given that methane is lighter than air, they’ll fill the airbag with the output of those volunteers passing gas.

Or maybe they just need to hook a pipe up to old Ronnyboy himself, ’cause he’s so full of ….

>The PaulNuts have resorted to defacing currency.

Yeah, and the Feds have resorted to devaluing it, and Abu Dhabi bails out Citibank.

Think there’s a connection?

A co-worker just showed me a dollar bill with “RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT” stamped on it in red. The PaulNuts have resorted to defacing currency.

I am starting to think the Ronulans have some sort of inadequacy problem. First, their campaign donations are way behind the front runners, so they have a money bomb campaign to have one BIG day of donations to make them feel better. Now, they can’t seem to have as many signs as every other candidate, so they try to get the biggest sign ever. Like a bald guy in a Ferrari, I think they are compensating.

Well,, it’s full of gas and it gets high! Symbolizes both him and his supporters!

Quit giving Paul a hard time! This is part of his revolution. Nothing says “way forward” in the Paul campaign more than having your name out there on an airship design that has literally been around for about a century. If this pans out, milk wagons coast-to-coast are going to be sporting Paul slogans!

Woah. The Neocons and neocon-wannabes on this site are absolutely sizzling at the thought that the money they have (or hope to have one day) should be backed up by something.

Disgusting cretins.

Those of you wishing Paul would go third party, he is a more attractive Republican candidate than Rudy McRomney and will siphon off enough votes from the base to put the Dem in the Wgite House.

So let’s not kick him out of the party.

That’s a risky, yet bold, move. But heck, ask any Paulista;
risky-bold is Ron Paul’s middle name… or was it,
whisky-bald?

Heavens forbid that a dirigible should meet it’s demise in
an unnatural and untimely manner, especially if there
were ‘collateral’ casualties, but as a candidate for the
most powerful elected post in the free world (currently
anyway), you’d have to consider the ramifications of a
foreseeable yet unforeseen disaster vs your campaign
efforts.

Anyway, pointing out the obvious aside, I wonder what the
name of his airship will be… the “rEVOLution“? I think
I like the “Pimp-Blimp” better seeing how his hard working
ho’s are kicking down the duckets for the bling..

Of course we know that modern airships use Helium, which does not burn like Hydrogen. Look, the difficult we do every day… the impossible just takes a little longer.

Goddam Lakewood is always trying to fool people into thinking they know how to blow up airships! Look, after it visits Lakewood, and nothing happens, just casually suggest that they it fly over to Lakehurst. Then put on your blast goggles. We know how to blow them up real good!
