Wow, a whole million, huh? Paul can now proudly stand at the bottom of the heap.
(Psst. Fred just raised 8 mill. He’s only been the race for 3 weeks!)
(Psst Psst. Fred has 70,000 donors...RP has what?!)
Do you think most of his supporters are Republican or Democrat?
Small government is popular, a trillion overseas a year makes even neo-cons blush. Paul has 10 percent name recognition, he isnt going away, the movement is growing.
Too many in this collection of folks are blinded over the “military” because Ron Paul wants to declare a war legally and respects our military enough to want to make sure these brave men and women are not just used as setting ducks to be killed, then to pull out like Viet Nam.
If you all could see past the spin of the day, you would see that we should go by the constitution. We are about out of freedom in this country.
BTW, all that million came from 14000 individuals at a little less than 100 per donation. Make fun if you like, but the little people are speaking, against the big media, etc. They drown us out and puts in the big government types that take our freedoms and monies.
You have a point, but there are anti-war Republicans who would prefer voting for Paul rather than a Democrat or not voting at all.
Just out of curiosity, who do you suppose Paul would pick as his running mate?
Um, the war IS legal. But since Ron Paul wrote the Constitution and is the oonnnnlllyyyy one who understands it, I guess he can say the war isn’t legal. Oh, and thanks for the condescension. The rest of us are stoopid.
I was gonna say Admiral Stockdale, but apparently he passed away (RIP).
And for those that live in the Texas 114th Congressional District, there is a sane alternative to being represented by Ron Paul. Chris Peden is mounting a primary challenge to Paul. Check it out at: http://www.chrispeden.org/
Peden is a true conservative that led the charge to roll back Friendswood property taxes as Mayor Pro Tem.
He voted to limit eminent domain in Friendswood.
He supports the Global War on Terror
How much was in actual donations and how much in pledges, I wonder.
Soros money to boost Paul and weaken the stronger candidates.
The courageous and patriotic men and women of the United States Military are leading the Global War on Terrorism, reducing the threat of terrorism and making the world more secure.
The men and women of the United States military honor us each day with their service and sacrifice. They deserve our respect, our prayers and deepest gratitude. If I am elected as your member of Congress, I pledge my commitment to secure the resources that our service men and women need to fulfill their mission as they safeguard our liberties.
I will stand with the right of the state of Israel to defend itself against terrorist aggression by Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations. Despite repeated calls for the destruction of Israel by terrorist factions, I believe Israel, as a nation, has the right to exist.
Though we can be thankful that an attack on America’s soil hasn’t happened since 9/11, we cannot consider it merely good fortune. Our valiant men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan are on the frontlines in the war on terror, but the horrific attack on 9/11 demonstrated that terrorists can bring the battlefield to our shores. For this reason, we must remain continually vigilant and ready with a broad based strategy that includes military action when necessary but also enhanced overseas intelligence capabilities, strengthened coalitions with willing partners and more effective and efficient homeland security.
We must continue to support our brave troops serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, and everywhere duty calls. We must fight Islamo-fascists abroad rather than fight them at home. As your congressman, I will be dedicated to giving our military the resources they need to fight - and win - the battle against the enemies who wish to destroy America and our way of life.
This great nation faced and met global threats to our peace and security in the past and we will do so again by remaining strong and dedicated to the preservation of liberty.
Well, at least you now know where the crazies live.........That's what I thought during the '04 election when I saw Howard Dean signs in yards............
Then you know what houses to avoid with your kids on Halloween.
Soros money? Based on what information?
I wonder what will happen to the money after he finishes last? Does it get donated to the Moonies?
Enough moola possibly to move him from 1.0 percent of the vote to 1.1 percent.
I still think he is running for the VP slot....under Kuchinich on the moonbat ticket.
(Um, the war IS legal. But since Ron Paul wrote the Constitution and is the oonnnnlllyyyy one who understands it, I guess he can say the war isn’t legal. Oh, and thanks for the condescension. The rest of us are stoopid)
Why can’t you respect other points of view? I read the comments that some of the people make against Ron Paul supporters. It sounds like Democrat tactics. Attack the person and not the ideas. I realize that we have a war of words, and some of us are not as sharp-tongued as others, but we should try to see the truth and be honest with issures.
Explain to me why Congress does not declare war? As far as I know WWII was the last declared war. We have to go to the UN and tiptoe around all the political correct positions. Meanwhile, we have lots of good people killed and wounded. I want us to WIN and so does Ron Paul, but there was a right way to do it, and we have not done it.
