“Republicans blame George Soros for about anything don’t you?”

No, I don’t blame Soros for everything, and neither do most Republicans. There are plenty of people to share the blame. However, when large sums of money are being raised by a very small number of people, it naturally leads me to wonder what the sources of the funding are. Now, it is possible that Paul supporters are very rich and very generous and have raised the millions of dollars on their own. I would be surprised to find that to be true. On the other hand, Soros does have billions and billions of dollars of disposable income, and he is very much inclined to spend it. He has spent a lot in the past and continues to be behind the scenes and connected with a lot of left leaning and anti war groups. So, I may be wrong, but I wouldn’t be one bit surprised to find out that he is financially supporting Ron Paul. I don’t think it takes a conspiracy theorist to posit Soros as a possible source of the huge amounts of money being raised in relatively short periods of time.

You can bet that Hillary and the DNC are in there somewhere.The plan is to split the conservative vote and hand the White House to the Beast.

LOL, please do some research first. If you've ever been to Dr. Paul's site the name of the donors scroll by. Secondly as noted on Ron Paul Graphs the amount is shown with the number of donors. Hop on over to Paul Cash it shows the average donation of each donor. Both sites built independently of the campaign.

So we have 120,000+ donors donating an average of $89 a piece. Hmmmm, doesn't sound very rich to me.

But yet the special interests behind the other 'frontrunners' aren't questioned. Why is that...large amounts of money from a 'small' group? Better talk to the Suit or St. Rudy of 9/11 about that...

We did until you posted another banned freeper to your ping list. Before it was 4 out of 5 banned. Here it is 5 out of 6. Just trying to help you out and let you know your ping buddies aren’t home.

“Does each donation ‘thank you’ come with a set of earplugs so you don’t have to listen to him whine?”

Or listen to the socialist GOP candidates that call themselves conservatives, namely, McRomneyThomiani.

I can tell you where some of the donations are coming from. I see all of these Giulianiesque shills all over Ron Paul threads. They are trying to drive small government/constitutionally minded Republicans away from the party. It seems pointless to argue with these boobs.

I have decided to start making donations in their honor. Just like when we bought NRA memberships for our anti-gun colleagues. They should know that their contribution will buy media time and will increase the publicity at the big donation day in couple weeks.

Care to join me? Its easy. Just pick a troll and copy them on the post.

Hey jrooney, you are now a Ron Paul supporter!! LOL!

Great be the fool and throw your money away on this surrender monkey coward. I will ping you when he is out of the race to see how you feel for burning your cash on him during the holiday season. Better start lining up donations for most of the freepers including FR management. Paul is despised by most us. It is you that is in the minority.

It’s his Kucinich-like foreign policy that we have a problem with, not so much his domestic agenda.

The same foreign policy that Bush ran on in 2000?

Michael, excellent comments, but it goes deeper than that. We are witnessing a huge paradigm shift in the electorate. The days of liberal vs conservative, Democrat vs Republican are coming to an end. Paul's honest message of returning to our Constitution is being embraced by everybody.

I truly believe that this is the return of the statesman politician, someone who value our government and the role it plays. My prediction is that there's going to be some candidates running as "Ron Paul" Republicans in the Congressional and Senate races next year.

I think you're confused. Why would Hillary support the one candidate who'll pull off a significant chunk of her support in the general?

Apparently, you've been out in the field too long.

I will feel just fine. He needn’t win to make me happy. As long as he gets the opportunity to move the debate back to the right.

You really think those twits have any money to spend? They can’t even afford to move out of their parent’s basements.

Perhaps - and they will be laughed at and booed, and deservedly so, if they make the same anti-American, idiotic comments Paul does.

These are the type of people who love Ron Paul. He usually talks about his grandmother buying him sex games and stating he can sympathize with OJ about wanting to “kill your significant other” and also gives nice, grotesque comments about attacks with his body parts during his supposed sexual encounters.

A third party candidate is the only way she will get elected.Paul doesn’t appeal to the hard left,but a bunch of ignorant gullible conservatives will vote for him.Cool it with the insults,we both want the same thing-Hillary’s defeat.

Except for maybe one issue I've struggled with (death penalty)

Pardon me, what is Ron Paul's stance on the death penalty?

Except for the Iraq issue of course, it seemed to me that some of the candidates at the you tube debate were already trying to sound a little more Ron Paulish.

Please provide a source that Bush said if we were attacked by terrorists we would not go over and kick their behinds and stop them from being able to attack again.

You're becoming just another lying liberal, EEE. Absolutely stupid to even imply the foreign policy is the same.
