LAKE JACKSON, TX — Former Congressman Ron Paul was spotted muttering nervously to himself today while standing in line to see Santa Claus at a nearby shopping mall, as he hoped this would finally be the year he would get what he wanted by asking for the 47th consecutive year for Santa to end the Fed.
“This is the year, I just know it,” Dr. Paul was overheard whispering as he inched closer to the front of the line. “I’ve been asking for the same thing every Christmas for almost half a century now. Surely this year will be the year I finally get it. I’ve been so good all year long!”
Witnesses reported seeing the former congressman cautiously approach Santa’s large, elaborate throne before settling onto the rotund man’s lap. “I wouldn’t say he looked scared,” said one bystander. “He looked like he had been there many times before. Confident, but cautious is how I would describe him.”
“What would you like for Christmas, my good sit?” Santa was heard asking Paul.
“I ask for nothing but the same thing I’ve asked for every year, Mr. Claus,” the former congressman responded. “I humbly ask that you grant me my Christmas wish to end the Fed. The Federal Reserve must be abolished because it is immoral, impractical, unconstitutional, poor economic policy, and a problem that has undermined our liberty since its inception.”
“Yes, well,” Santa replied before clearing his throat. “Wouldn’t you rather have a nice, new bicycle?”
At publishing time, Dr. Paul was seen leaving the store still in good spirits, knowing he’d either get the complete elimination of the Federal Reserve or at least a sweet new bike.

OK, that is the funniest Photoshop, ever!
Oh, the futility of wishful thinking with ZERO action behind it. It’s the perfect image!
Andrew Jackson would have known what to do…and it wouldn’t be pray to Santa.
Ron Paul ain’t no fuckin’ Andrew Jackson!
He is consistent.
Good point. Most politicians crumble when their former positions become unvoteworthy or dangerous to their campaign funding.
Why wouldn’t he be? How do you think he got fucking rich? And why would he do anything to overturn his own apple cart?
Hasn’t ANYONE noticed YET…That the Real “Problem” on this planet is that the SAME People who are disclosing ALL its problems…ARE THE SAME ONES “CREATING THEM”?!?!
This explains WHY they cannot SOLVE them folks!!!
THEY “ARE” THE PROBLEM…GET-IT YET???
THE INVENTED “PROBLEM-REACTION-SOLUTION”…REMEMBER FOLKS???
We hear you, boldface/capslock. If you actually had something to say, CunnyBoy, you wouldn’t need to stuff your jockstrap.
My 18 year old grandson just showed me proof that Santa Claus suit wasn’t always red and white. It used to be mostly forest green. That is until a 1950s Coca Cola marketing campaign dressed him up in Classic Coke can colors. Makes me feel disgusted,and kinda dirty.
