Ron Paul launches ‘South Carolina’ money bomb
The State Column ^ | 1/14/12 | staff

Posted on 01/14/2012 3:12:39 PM PST by traviskicks

Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, launched his “South Carolina” money bomb Saturday. The “South Carolina” money bomb is the latest in a series of money bombs that have raised funds for campaign events and ad buys in the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Although Mr. Paul has not set a fundraising goal for the “South Carolina” money bomb, the Texas congressman has hauled in more than $160,000 as of 9am EDT Saturday. Mr. Paul’s most recent money bomb, the “Tea Party” money bomb, had a fundraising goal of $4 million, but it had pulled in more than $6 million by the time it ended.

Mr. Paul’s second place finish in the New Hampshire Primary has propelled the former Air Force surgeon into third place in the latest polls of likely South Carolina Republican primary voters. A Public Policy Polling poll, released Friday, found Mr. Paul in third place with a one point lead over former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum. Pre-New Hampshire Primary polls of likely South Carolina Republican presidential primary voters found Mr. Paul in fourth place.

“The date of next Saturday’s South Carolina Primary will mark just over three years since Barack Obama was sworn in as President,” Ron Paul 2012 Campaign Manager John Tate said in an email to campaign supporters Friday. “Looking ahead, my hope is that date will also be just under one year until President Obama is kicked out of office and Ron Paul becomes the next President of the United States,” Mr. Tate added.

Although the Paul campaign has not specifically identified how the funds from the “South Carolina” money bomb will be used, the money raised from the “Tea Party” money bomb supported a major ad blitz in the Hawkeye State in the days leading up to the Iowa Caucuses.

A money bomb? I thought the Code Pinkos that endorse him don’t like bombs.

If that nut case had been the attending physician at my birth, I would lock my birth certificate in a vault, kept deep within an unknown location somewhere in Hawaii.

Why doesn’t he just sell more copies of his racist newsletters? Maybe his new supporters in Code Pink, Stormront, the KKK, and the Occupy parasites can send in a few bucks.

That Vette owner has missed a lot of quotes.

While some o the best include traitor praising, dope pushing, conspiracy nut pandering, US blaming and general anti-Constitution and anti-US defense loony comments, here’s a good one:

“I therefore resign my membership in the Republican Party and enclose my membership card.”

I just want to know who the heck in the GOP would give that moron his card back because he is NOT Republican, NOT conservative and NOT Tea Party?

Dems keeping him alive and Paul and his supporters can't even figure out they are being used by the folks they decry the most... and he wants to run the country. Can you image the spy- net- working from the WH!? No republican should support him with some of these radical views in which he holds.

Dr. Nutz has a base of kids that want to legalize pot, people that thought Timothy Mcveigh deserved a medal instead of the electric chair, and people that want to outlaw stop signs.
