Everything in this article is beautiful.

John Ramsey himself.

His strategy.

The liberal whining in the comments. EVERYTHING.

So beautiful!

A relatively decent article from a rag like Mother Jones.  However, it's too early in the day to read the whinings of liberals, so I gave up on the comments after perusing just a few.

The issue in this case is that he is coming from a privileged situation and does not understand, know, and assumes that everyone's life is the same as his. I see the same line of thinking with the Paulbots, even when they don't come from house holds of monetary privilege.

   Yeah, the Paulbots are just rich people who can't see outside their own privileged situations. Unless, of course, they aren't rich, but still can't see outside someone else's privileged situation.

My head hurts.

Impressive amount of invective in the comments section. Libs are furious that he is putting his inherited money towards a political cause. Doing so would shame his grandfather, so they say. They'd no doubt be singing a different tune if he gave that money to MoveOn.org.

Folks ask me, "Why didn't you vote by absentee ballot, it would be easier?"  Or, "Why don;t you go on down to early voting?"

I am not doing that so I can show up 20 minutes before the poll closes, as is my habit, to be one of the last voters and to hang around to be elected a precinct officer and steer the selection of delegates to Tea Party and/or Paulista candidates.  If there are none willing to go, I'll be a delegate this time 'round.

Between teh Tea Partiers and Paulistas, we may yet make the GOP well, Grand again and worthy of support.

What does the "G" stand for now? "Geriatric"? "Goddamned stupid"? "Gaaaaaaah! I'm going insane!"? Old Party?

Given the cheating that we're now hearing about (for example the crazy games in AZ and NV), it appears that this is not as viable a strategy as previously expected.

I love all the comments about him buying an election, yet none of those comments bother to look at how much money the other candidate has spent.  I bet his money spent is still small dollars.

Not to mention that "buying an election" implies paying people to vote when all he is doing is running ads and trying to influence voters.

Crack the code:

"Buying an election" - Conservatives spending money on campaign ads and organization.

"Raising awareness" - Liberals spending money on campaign ads and organization.
