Name That Blimp! Round FOURa

[BeFranklin]

Ok, I'm posting this as round four. This shouldn't be viewed as an official poll. The actual site will most likely email something out to pledge-es. The poll should just be to see what people like in names and generate discussion.

Instead of re-doing the poll names from the previous debate (ie taking into account the suggestions that there was no reason to split some votes into multiple names like liberty this or that, a valid concern), I decided to keep the exact same list.

However, this is a reverse poll: What is your *least* favorite name. Round 4a.

 

[BeFranklin]

Also, please post why you felt that way. I noticed that freedom generated an immediate negative, I'm not sure why

Edit: FYI: I'll vote later after more people voted so as to not stack the momentum.

I like "Air Force Ron" because it is a play on words...

Air Force Ron .... Air Force One

I just think it is the obvious and most clever name.

At least that is how the majority of the public will see it.

I'm not trying to vote against freedom...

But I just liked the other names better and happened to be watching.

This is a negative poll though, what is your least favorite?

I was kidding. Freedom was the name I liked best, so I wondered if it was a vote against my polling I'll vote later this morning.

I don't like Air Force Ron just because it's a play of words on Airforce One.
That plane symbolizes the (current) US administration, which I don't
like right now. Air Force Ron gives me negative vibes, therefore.

JMHO,

Dutch

still no Liberty One option ... fail.

I know. I like it, I just wanted to keep this poll the same as the previous one for comparison purposes. Besides, in this case its a good thing - no one can say they liked Liberty One the least

Oops, voted without reading... so one of those votes for Air Force One, please discount, b/c that is my favorite, NOT my least favorite.

Probably at least a couple other people over time, will do the same thing.

Oooppps.....

I just assumed the poll we for the best. Just seemed obvious that it would be.

I guess I can't change it now....bummer.

I think you will have at least half of everyone who votes doing what I did.

So, this poll is jeopardized. As it will not show our real opinions.

Edit: After reading all the comments coming in...you might want to start over with a new poll.

I voted for the US Constitution, but I did not see the not, it's early. So you can take one off of constitution and put 1 one on let freedom fly.

Like me >_<

I'm up late trying to write a legal motion/brief.

>_<

Reading obviously isn't a strong attribute for me right now.
I should go sleep >_<

Yeah I did that too - DOH

Liberty, Ron Paul sounds to me as very distinguish and what Ron Paul is all about. Liberty has two 1st names.

I think unless it's going to be decorated with bug eyes and fly wings, which would be really lame, we should stay away from "Let Freedom Fly" or any other kind of "fly" for that matter.

 

[SneakyFrenchSpy]

I don't like Air Force Ron and here's why.

I think the MSM / pundits will spin the image of the blimp into an antiquated instrument of the 19th century and try to equate Ron Paul's belief system with ideology that doesn't belong in a "modern" society.

For example, while most late 20th century presidents traveled places using the colossal Air Force One with its powerful jet engines, Ron Paul would rather use the slow-moving blimp to get anywhere, like his ideas...

I think the focus needs to be shifted back onto Ron's main platform: FREEDOM.

My choice is Let Freedom Fly and I wouldn't mind Liberty Ship.

"Let Freedom Fly" just doesn't sound like the name of a vehicle. Names should be a noun or a noun and adjective, but "Let freedom fly" is a whole stand alone sentence, and so I thing it sounds too wordy to be a name of something.

How bout calling it the R3VOLUTION now that we know it'll carry the "Ron Paul R3EVOLUTION" logo on one side?

 

[wisconsinite]

It just occured to me that every other famous blimp is simply known as "The ______ blimp".

The Goodyear Blimp
The Fuji Blimp
The Met-Life Blimp

and yes, The Duff Blimp.

So why not just call it "The Ron Paul R3VOLUTION Blimp"?

Because you know despite whatever we call it, nobody else is going to use some fancy name.

Then following in that reasoning: The Liberty Blimp.

It's short, concise and to the point. Ron Paul welcomes you aboard The Liberty Blimp.
