I see she's from the Virgin Islands. Didn't Ron actually win some delegates there?

[Warlord]

I think we should help her out.

[wormyguy]

No. He finished first in the popular vote there, but on a technicality (the Romney delegates also ran on an "uncommitted" slate).

[Warlord]

Warlord tried to contact her on PLANETINFOWARS

[kathy88]

Wow she's gorgeous!

[Warlord]

I'm in for 50 at the end of the week, good luck to her.

Help her with her dream, etc.

She still has $1400 to raise.

When is the deadline?

I love the look on Ron's face in this picture!

He's pretty calm considering.

[S.Shorland]

Don't blame him for the open wide eyes

[Warlord]

Will you match Warlord's 50 this week green?

[Henry Rogue]

Very pretty. She could co-host with Ben Swann.

[Henry Rogue]

If Lisa doesn't win Miss USA, then I know the election is rigged.

[Rudeman]

I wish her the best of luck.

Fucking A right

[Nirvikalpa]

Hold the fuck on. We have members here in political races that need cash and we're talking about funding a Miss USA contestant?

Is this even real.

Imagine the publicity the liberty movement would receive if a Ron Paul supporter won Miss USA.

You need 290 liberty-minded US House representatives and 66 liberty-minded US senators (a veto proof majority) to undo all the damage that has been done so far........

[MelissaWV]

Imagine the publicity the liberty movement would receive if a Ron Paul supporter won Miss USA.

Yes, because people really listen to Miss USA. I can't name anyone who even watches it, let alone could name the past five winners off the top of their head, LET ALONE name their political affiliations.

[Mani]

Who is counting the votes? Do they use Diebold machines?

How do we know the votes are authentic???

[Tinnuhana]

"Vote our hearts" If we could raise $6 million in a day, why don't we make a list of who needs money (a thousand here, two thousand there) and take care of it in a day?
Is there anything out there like the sites we used for CPAC? I think we used google docs to keep track with an ExCel sheet.

You mean, about as good as coming within two hundred votes of Bachmann at the Iowa Straw Poll? Coming second in Maine?

Oh, wait...

[KingNothing]

Oh, wait...

Those things actually mattered, and actually did push us forward.

Miss USA does not matter. Beautiful as she is, a woman winning an award for looking good affords us no new freedom.

[pcosmar]

Yes, because people really listen to Miss USA. I can't name anyone who even watches it, let alone could name the past five winners off the top of their head, LET ALONE name their political affiliations.

it really depends on what she says.. and a lot of people listen.

[Nirvikalpa]

Riiiight, people who watch Miss USA do so to hear their educated responses to questions...

Like going to Hooters for the wings, right?

This is hilarious. And hey, GunnyFreedom needs your donations (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?412040)!

No it doesn't, and no they don't.

More like Main Stream programing.
Seems there are a LOT of folks "keeping up with the Kardashians" and other nonsense.

A lot of folks watch the "Emmy's" or CMA Awards.

Not me,, but there are many. I just don't see it as a bad idea.
One more avenue for the message.


No it doesn't, and no they don't.

Oh, and Mr Nothing,, 57,684,839 views says different.

[Zarn Solen]

I just think some of you want to donate, because she is pretty. Liberty seems to be more of an excuse here.

[jllundqu]

Zing!

[oyarde]

I never watch miss USA and have never been to Hooters.I do like wings though ,hope Gunny gets what he needs.

[oyarde]

If she was homely and could advance the cause of Liberty, I would like her, quietly though , my wife would not like it .LOL

[KingNothing]

I certainly hope she wins. And I hope that Aimee Allen tops the charts, and Kelly Clarkson goes all-in with Rand and wins awards, and that John Mayer writes a song about Liberty that is downloaded ten million times.

I want all the success in the world for our message in the pop-culture arena. With that said, I think we should focus our donations on political campaigns.

[Zarn Solen]

Exactly. It's understandable that we cannot tell people where to put their money. However, for the purpose of expanding liberty, donating to candidates is best.

[opal]

years ago.. I used to sort of watch the pageants - while playing penny poker, passing the bong - with the volume turned down and Pink Floyd playing. guys in the room.. ooohed and ahhhed over the girls.. girls in the room checked out the gowns and shoes - and the occasional host in a tux - something we rarely saw in college.. a guy in a tux

ETA.. Jack Daniels might have been involved too

[dannno]

Hah, she could be the first Miss USA to bring up Austrian Economics and completely baffle the crowd in her question and answer section :p

People watch. It doesn't mean they go for them for voting advice.

My girlfriend watches the Kardashians and the house wives and all that shit. I doubt she could tell you who those people voted for and even if she could I doubt it would influence her politics.

Vince Vaughn supported Ron Paul and is 1,000 times more famous than any Miss USA. How many people do you know who voted for Ron because Vince Vaughn supported him? My guess is very few.

[dannno]

Yes, because people really listen to Miss USA. I can't name anyone who even watches it, let alone could name the past five winners off the top of their head, LET ALONE name their political affiliations.

That's because none of them are interesting.

She's beautiful. I wish her luck in life.

I know Miss Mississippi. She is really good friends with another friend of mine, so if she doesn't win I'll be rooting for Lisa.

[qh4dotcom]

Is this even real.

Back in December 2011, the Ron Paul community was supporting Kelly Clarkson and buying her CDs because of a Facebook post she made saying she loved Ron Paul....I recall her CD became a top seller on Amazon at the time because of the Ron Paul community...then she stabbed us in the back by performing at Obama's inauguration....and yes, there were political races that needed cash back then.

So why can't we support a genuine female Ron Paul supporter this time? She's not going to stab us in the back like Clarkson. The next major election is 1.5 years away....there are no primaries right now like back then.

[qh4dotcom]

By the way I need to clear something up...she did not participate in the Miss USA pageant last Sunday....from her Facebook page



Miss USA, Miss United States, and Miss America are all different pageants! Thank you for wishing me luck tonight but I will be competing for Miss United States in two weeks!

I know this isn't her pageant, but i wonder how Lisa would have answered this question. Big fail by Miss Alabama, very pretty though.

You commit three felonies a day, you sure you want to have them know EVERYTHING you are doing? O no's I was at a party and texted my friends about how dank this party was with four kegs, o no's cops everywhere in da party......how did they ever know......

...Let me tell you how this ends.

Is she liberty minded?

[qh4dotcom]

Wow...an inspiring Facebook post from Lisa...it has her photo with Ron Paul.

I have gone 3 years without acknowledging the haters but i have a reason to share this: To the haters, the bullies, I'm glad you picked on me when I was younger. After struggling with eating disorders, depression, and drugs, I decided to turn my life around and was motivated to prove you all wrong. To my high school advisor who said I will never get a bachelors degree: I earned my BA in 4 years with a minor in history, studied abroad twice, founded two organizations, held leadership positions in student government and in my sorority, and had a 3.5 major GPA. To those who called me ugly: not only am i a published model, but i also have 3 state beauty pageant titles and I placed fourth runner up at Miss United States 2012. To those who said I was stupid, I earned scholarships to leadership schools, political conventions, and I speak three languages. To those who made fun of me for being home schooled: I have been to 48 of the 50 states and have been to 30 countries. You can't do that in public school. I went beyond proving you all wrong. by the time i accomplished all of this i didnt care if you liked me or not. I have my own business (literally @vizcayaswimwear) to worry about. TO THOSE BEING BULLIED NOW. STAND UP AND WORK ON YOURSELF TO PROVE TO EVERYONE THAT YOU ARE NOT WHO THEY THINK YOU ARE. Take a stand against bullying, not by confronting your bullies but by working on improving yourself. I want you to know I am here for you. I was there. No one needs to go through bullying. I hope my story will inspire you. I don't have time to care about haters but I have time to care about those who are truly affected by what bullies do. #antibully #antibullying #bullies #haters #drugs #dare #takeastand #anorexia #mystory #stopbullying. My question to my former bullies: what have you done in the past 5 years? Where are you now? Oh, okay.

[MoneyWhereMyMouthIs2]

To my high school advisor who said I will never get a bachelors degree...


I can't bring myself to go to FB, but what a dickhead. I'm not a fan of giving people unrealistic expectations, but I'm careful not to crush anyone's aspirations unless I think they're making a serious financial mistake. That just sounds like shit behavior for a high school counselor.

[MelissaWV]

Is it harsh to wince at her (mis)use of English throughout a post where she is bragging about how educated she's become?

[ronpaulfollower999]

lol...I go onto the home page of one of the local radio stations, and find Lisa's picture....

Well now that I know you are against it, I guess this must be an effective way to spend our money afterall.

Ya, nobody pays attention to Miss USA UNTIL SOMETHING NEWSWORTHY HAPPENS. If she makes something newsworthy happen at Miss USA and it gets into the media, then it could help spread our message and it could help spread liberty.

I don't know if it is possible to determine whether it is more effective to spend money on a small time liberty rep from a different state than you live in or a Miss USA contestant.. I would probably recommend splitting up your donation if you feel inclined to donate to Miss USA.

Lisa won a pageant....she is now Miss Nationwide
