One unique thing about Ron Paul

[dude58677]

He is the only politician with a nickname such as "Dr. No" and this is something you only see in the entertainment/sports industry. It's like Deon Sanders being called "Prime Time".

Can anyone really name any other politician with a nickname?

Ummm ... slick willie (for more than 1 reason it turns out)

Willard "Double Guantanamo" Romney.

Rudy "douchebag" Giullianni is another im fond of.

What about Billary? Or my personal favorite Fred "Fred!" Thompson"?

It's like Deon Sanders being called "Prime Time".

I would have gone with "Neon Deion" personally. But nice reference nontheless.

Senator Robert "Exalted Cyclops" Byrd. Some prefer the simplicity of "Sheets" Byrd.

Reagan was the "gipper" and Bush Sr was the "idiot" but he had to share that one with Carter. I think theres still a legal battle going on as to who gets legal claim to that one.

George "The Retarded President" Bush

 

[SeanEdwards]

Larry "totally not gay" Craig

Actually, RP is not the only politician to be given the nickname "Dr. No." Oregon's former governor (John Kitzhaber, M.D.), a Democrat, was given the same nickname because he vetoed a lot of bills.

Bush Jr. = Shrub

Let's not forget "Tricky Dick" Nixon from the Watergate Scandal era. Then "Fred Flinstone" Ford (he was famous for tripping over his own two feet). Then Mr. Peanut Jimmy Carter, along with Peanut Brain and a few other choice nicknames in reference to his peanut farm in Georgia, Ronald Reagan was the Gipper from one of the movies he made back during his film career, he was a far better President than he was an actor.

I have heard several derrogatory names used in reference to the presidential candiadtes with my favorites being "Herr Hellary" and "Heil Hellary!" which I think sums up her socialist political platform quite accurately.
