Name That Blimp! Round THREE

[hillertexas]

I have given Elijah all of the info from this poll. He is free to use it or ignore it.

I'm done with this poll so if you guys feel there is a better way to decide on a name...go for it.

Sorry we had to argue about something as stupid as naming a blimp

 

[Rhys]

I think it's important to remember...

whomever pays for it isn't doing so to name a blimp. They're doing it for Ron Paul.

I think it should be called the Ron Paul Blimp, but that's just me.

However, if it flies, that's what's important. If naming it takes 3 weeks then just call it Dave and be done with it.

And really, thanks to all who do donate on behalf of those who can't.

lets just assume the official name ends up being "air force ron"
then everyone can have their nicknames for it too.
like official nicknames can be freedom, liberty, and revolution.
"Freedom is coming" sounds alot better than "air force ron is coming"
however, "Freedom" doesn't sound like a very ship name

basically my point is call it whatever you want.

The "U.S. Constitution"

 

[Bakkhus]

I think "Air Force Ron" is not such a good idea, as it is fetishizing the message of freedom and liberty. Dr. Paul has always said his campaign is about the message not him. Thus "Liberty Ship" "Liberty Rising" or "Liberty One" would make the best sense. My favorite is "Liberty One" as this name when spoken also sounds like "Liberty Won", meaning Dr. Paul's liberty message (his campaign) has won.

Thats what I feel about it, and why I logged on. All the other names are serious names. "Air Force Ron" says nothing about the message and somehow implies that we aren't really serious about this, when we are very serious about it. It would be a giant step backwards.

 

[constitutional]

I have no idea what people are thinking when voting for Air Force Ron.

Are there people from Huckabee Army stuffing the ballot?

 

[Taco John]

Ah Bummer... I'm late on this... I was going to suggest "Liberty One."

 

[RPinSEAZ]

There's already 3 Liberty XXX names that when added together add up to more votes than "Air Force Ron", but somehow Air Force Ron is winning? Weak IMO.

 

[Midnight77]

Air Force Ron is a terrible name. It doesn't sound very people friendly at all. Let cooler heads need to prevail here. One of the Liberty options is a much better choice.

 

[Man from La Mancha]

The Liberty Ron Paul

Guys, Air Force Ron makes it seem like we're planning an attack or something.

I like the U.S. Constitution or Let Freedom Fly. Most are fine, but Air Force Ron makes it sound aggressive.

 

[macdee]

It should be just called "The Constitution!" If your flying it over the U.S., don't people know which constitution there talking about? If you going to use initials,

call it "The USS Constitution" so it sounds more official. You know like startrek... "The USS Enterprise."

 

[mstrmac1]

Agreed. Any thing about the constitution would make everyone think. Liberty is good if Bush's war machine had not wore it out during the last 7 yrs in the war on terror.

We need Round FOUR!

I agree. It needs to be fun and get the message across at the same time. That is why I like Let Freedom Fly.

 

[BeFranklin]

We need Round FOUR!

Lets not have a round four right now. Lets nominate and debate names a little bit this time, we have till Friday.

 

[thuja]

I wanted to make sure everyone could have their say. But if you think that this is "case closed" then we will go with "Air Force Ron" if that is ok with everyone

Air Force Ron!

 

[jake]

Air Force Ron is a poor name imo.

 

[mstrmac1]

Air Force Ron is a poor name imo.

I agree... but lets just get this mo/fo in the air.
