***Official Word on the Blimp's Friday Destination***

Maybe there is a reason that a blimp has never been used in a presidential campaign before. :rolleyes:

I realize that now I am going to have to eat a huge helping of crow when it flies and is a huge success!
 
While the Blimp should have been in Boston the weather probably makes that impossible. The blimp can do a great job in the Southeast for the first few days and then head back to New Hampshire.

Many candidates are prepared to lose in Iowa and New Hampshire and hope to have a firewall setup in the South to save their campaigns. This has been done over and over again.

Going to South Carolina and other southern states for super tuesday puts an unknown factor into the election.

There is NOTHING happening in South Carolina that the blimp can synergize with! One reason the blimp MUST be in Boston is the fact that a HUGE event is happening which will get a ton of publicity. The blimp would bring more publicity to the Boston Tea Party and the Tea Party would bring more publicity to the blimp!

Being in Boston and dumping tea into the harbor would give the blimp a FANTASTIC start!

There is absolutely ZERO happening in South Carolina that could give the blimp an awesome start.

If the blimp cannot be in Boston the project needs to be canceled. The blimp is going to be a VERY expensive project. To keep it flying will end up costing probably a million dollars. If it cannot get a FANTASTIC start then it needs to be canceled now.
 
I am looking at the weather map. Can the blimp fly through this?

That is the question. I don't know. Maybe it can fly around the backside of it. I would like to see it in Boston as my first choice. Every effort should be made to get it there.

The weather pattern looks like it is moving fast. It might be gone by Friday. I would hate for it to be a nice day on Boston on Sunday with no blimp.

The need to wait until the last minute before canceling the blimp project. If it can make it to Boston it should not be canceled.
 
Menthol Patch,

If you are not dillusional, I guess that makes you a complete asshole.

Which is it?

That's about the craziest idea I've seen in a long, long time. Many people bought time on the blimp because they thought the blimp advertising was a good idea in itself. A potential tie-in to the the TeaParty was a nice synergy -- but certainly not the whole reason for the blimp. All this endless blathering from people who I suspect are jealous of the Ron Paul Blimp and don't want to see it fly at all is getting really annoying. Go back under the Huckster rock or the Romney camp or where ever you came from.
 
I'm looking back at all the chip ins I've donated to and trying to find if anything came of it, so far only one ad was actually published. That is hundreds upon hundreds of dollars I've donated to someone or something I don't know that just disappeared. Very frustrating.

You know what they say: "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice..."

This douche is most likely an infiltrator from an opposing campaign. Please read his post history and then ignore all his posts.

Go Blimp!

There is another system that will develop on the tail end of the cold front over Texas and race northeastward by Sunday. 4-8"+ inches of snow/sleet/rain are expected in Boston on Sunday before it turns to rain (blimp can't take heavy snow even on the ground), and flying in behind the system is exactly what is going to happen AFTER the blimp is flown in SC on the 16th. The winds would be too strong even on the 17th up in New England for it to fly. The blimp is a lot more weather-sensitive than people realize.

Go Blimp!

I think someone should post a poll. I bet the overwhelming majority here would agree that he's either an infiltrator or just downright annoying.
 
Silly. The blimp isn't going to be cancelled. And it's not just about Boston... Being in SC on the 16th will be great.

If I was a troll why would I be posting stuff like the following all over these forums, digg, and other forums?

Why would I be supporting the Tea Party constantly?

Why would I be telling everyone I know about the Tea Party?

The fact is certain people here don't think other people have the right to an opinion.

I respect the opinion of all of you that think the project should continue if the blimp does not make it to Boston. However, you should respect my opinion too.

We can debate all day and night, but we should respect each other's opinion.

-----

Here are SEVEN FACTS about Ron Paul that make him totally unique from all the other candidates both Republican and Democrat. Remember these facts, because they can be very useful talking to potential new supports or in a debate.

1) Ron Paul desires to tremendously reduce the size, cost, and power of the federal government. He is the only candidate that would strive to make the federal government abide by the constitution so that the IRS and income tax can be abolished and replaced with nothing! This means no flat tax and no huge national sales tax!

2) Ron Paul is the only non-interventionist candidate. He is the only candidate that would bring all of our troops home from around the world immediately. Other candidates support an aggressive foreign policy that offends other nations. Ron Paul on the other hand desires a foreign policy that encourages trade, commerce, tourism, diplomacy, and peace!

3) Ron Paul is the only candidate that desires to end the war on drugs. As a medical doctor he has witnessed first hand the horrors that have resulted from the drug war. He is fully aware of the dangerous black market and violent activity that is a direct result of the prohibition of drugs. Also, unlike all the other candidates he also has the courage to stand up for your right to control what you put into your own body.

4) Ron Paul is the only candidate to boldly oppose the unconstitutional banking cartel that is called the Federal Reserve system. He also opposes the printing of money from thin air (backed by nothing) that results in high inflation. Unlike other candidates he is bold enough to give this dreadful result of the Federal Reserve system a name: the Inflation Tax!

5) Ron Paul is the only candidate that defends the national sovereignty of the USA from those that want to take it away. He is the only candidate that opposes the relinquishing of authority of our nation to the United Nation, the proposed North American Union, and other globalist organizations. Unlike a few other candidates who recognize the danger of illegal immigration he recognizes additional threats as well!

6) Ron Paul is the only candidate that opposes forced participation in the social security system. He wants to allow younger people to invest their money for their future or retirement how they see fit! However, by reducing the size and cost of government in many other areas (so that the federal government once again abides by the constitution) those currently that depend on social security or are heavily invested in the system can be taken care of so that no one is left in the cold.

7) Ron Paul is the only candidate who defends the Bill of Rights totally and completely. He opposes violations of the right to bare arms, voted against the Patriot Act, defends your right to privacy, opposes censorship in all forms, and has fought for years to defend the constitution.

What do the above SEVEN FACTS mean to you this election season?

Ron Paul is the ONLY true small government, anti-interventionist, anti-tax (income or sales tax), and pro-freedom candidate that you can vote for this election.

No one else even COMES CLOSE!
 
i think al gore used this weather machine that caused global warming to mess up ron paul's blimp. what a f**ko!!!!
 
This is unacceptable. The blimp needs to be in BOSTON for the Tea Party! If it is not in Boston for the Tea Party people need to ask for their money back and this project needs to be canceled.

Umm, problem is humans cannot control the weather; and the company who made the blimp will not refund our cash on account of an ice storm.

Look at it this way, with a heavy snow and ice storm in Boston, people would not be able to SEE the blimp at all in the first place, and there is a good possibility it would crash. I don't think that's the kind of MSM publicity we want, no?

We are mobilizing all the meet up groups in north and south carolina, inviting media and politicians and will try to broadcast the two rallies to eachother on big screens. This will give a very national feel to the whole thing. If we can pull it off we might be able to get projectors, cameras and justintv set up at rallies all over the country.

I think the company could return part of the money. Some money refunded is better than none.

The owner is supposed to be a Ron Paul supporter. I think he would want to see some of the money refunded so it could be used for other projects and chip-ins.
