Ron Paul fans have started a dating service to find libertarian love in an Obama world.
From the Washington Post
Are you a small-government patriot looking for love? ISO that special libertarian somebody who enjoys red wine, laughter, walking on the beach and upholding the U.S. Constitution?
Well, you’re in luck: The Ron Paul Revolution has hit online dating.
The Republican congressman from Texas, whose libertarian insurgency enlivened the 2008 presidential race, is the inspiration behind the new Web dating service RonPaulSingles.com. “We put the LOVE in Revolution,” the site proclaims.
While the online dating industry long ago spawned niches for certain ideologies or other affinities, this was the first site we’d heard of based on a specific politician. But Paul was no ordinary long-shot candidate; the fervor of his young followers pushed him further than his paltry name-recognition and campaign funds would predict. Paul has no involvement in the Web site, but sounded kind of tickled by the whole thing in an e-mail exchange with our colleague Mary Ann Akers.
“I never thought I’d speak to crowds of 5,000 college kids chanting ‘End the Fed’ and burning Federal Reserve notes, so I guess nothing surprises me that much anymore,” Paul wrote to Akers. “I suppose it’s all about Freedom bringing people together — spiritually, politically, and now, romantically. … And, I’ve always been sympathetic to the slogan ‘make love, not war.’ “
As of Sunday, the site featured nearly 200 profiles from singles across the country, more than three-quarters of them (check it out, ladies!) from men.
At least you can’t say that Paul fans aren’t passionate about their beliefs.

DOH, I used the wrong breech!
“Spiritually?” As if Sanford’s post-Argentine musings aren’t enough. Say speaking of Argentina isn’t there some famous quote from Guevara about love and revolution?
Paul a few questions about the site via e-mail, including whether he ever imagined that he’d spur an entire online dating community built around… well, himself.
“We put the LOVE in Revolution,”
Calling all dyslexics and breach babies!
(For those who don’t get the joke, breach babies do everything bass-ackwards.)
