The Ron Paul Effect
Posted on October 17, 2007 by Ben Cecka
If I see something in my feeds with the name “Ron Paul” anywhere in the title or description I’m going to ignore it. I don’t even want to take the time anymore to go vote it down on Digg or Reddit for being lame campaign spam.
Could this be a case of online overmarketing? Burnout? Am I alone on this one? I hate to say that it might affect my decision in ‘08, but the fact is that his name leaves a sore taste in my mouth from seeing it over, and over, and over, in places that I would hardly deem appropriate.
Great job Ron Paul fanboys — you’ve achieved success in becoming the most irritating Internet sensation since The Hamster Dance.

It’s more than just online. I’m starting to see huge “RON PAUL: HOPE FOR AMERICA” signs go up around Vancouver. I’m guessing the vast majority of his supporters are not aware of his policies, but rather just interested in the fact that he’s more straight forward than any other GOP candidate. I suppose it boils down to the fact that his immoral policies are still just that, even if he’s up front with them.
