Seriously . . . This last week or two has been nutty for me. Total paradigm shift in the way I see politics. Uh, yeah, I was a hardcore member of Huckabee's army and, even though they almost got me to just listen to what they said . . . I think I'm head over heels in love with Paul.
He's so flippin' consistent! So flippin' right, too! Saw him on Cramer's Mad Money, too. I'm FINALLY starting to get why the insane Paul supporters are so pumped for him. Uh, I honestly don't support everything he says buuut, it's more of a trust thing. He KNOWS and LOVES what he says.
I don't know, maybe I'm just beginning to get infected by the Ron Paul bug, but what he has to say is almost SO common sense that it seemed too complex and nutty . . . Yeah. Or I've lost it.
Ahhh tastes like freedom.
The revolution is alive and well....2nd time around proves there is a movement. Vote Ron Paul!!
Win or lose, the revolution has begn.
$4.5m has passed, and at the current contribution trend, Paul should end up with $5.5m, plus whatever he took in offline (checks, phone, etc).
Just as big news is that it's all from small donors ($115 average), and also big news is that thousands of supporters have gathered at rallies throughout the country, some braving horrific ice and snow and traffic to get together by the hundreds upon hundreds at dozens of locations throughout the States -- and the world!
Judging by these facts alone, no other candidate can hope to see a huge turnout at the primaries. Who is going to drive through freezing snow to vote for Huckabee or Giuliani?
These guys are needing to change their underwear after today.
Don't forget, though, that Huckabee has a money bomb planned for December 25th, when everyone is sure to be gathered around the computer rather than being with family. I think his campaign hopes to raise enough to pay for a first class ticket or two. Maybe this time they will.
WHat has the media, pundits and blogger so confounded about Ron Paul is that he is so damn HONEST! And his supporters are so SINCERE! Ask ROn Paul a question, and you don't hear the wheels turning in the pander section of his brain- he'll tell you what he honestly believes, whether you like it or not! Ask supporters why they support Ron Paul, despite him being against (Column A) or for (Column B), and they'll tell you honestly, I don't agree with everyhting he says, but at least I can BELIEVE what he says.
ROn Paul's appeal lies in his message, not his charisma, charm or him saying what yhe thinks you want to hear. He wants everybody to make up their OWN minds and take care of themselves- not promising everybody that he'll fulfill all their wishes like some political Santa Claus. WIth journalists so used to being lied to, manipulated and pandered to... I honestly think they are afraid of what they don't know and have never seen before- a politician with character, integrity and honesty.

Who cares how much money he raises if they don't count your vote. Those who vote determine nothing those who count the votes determine everything. GO find out how to make sure your vote gets counted...even if it's not for Ron Paul...
This is a direct example that we are the power! This spontaneous organization behind Ron Paul is no PR stunt; it is simply because he is showing us how far we have come away from being free people: with the Patriot Act, H.R. 1955, legalizing torture, violating our constitutional rights, et al, Ron Paul's views are the only ones that are Sane!
He is the only peace candidate, the only one for individual liberties for all and promises to cut back the power of the government to take Our money and use it for their own interests.
There have already been informants who have indicated that there are assasination plots against Ron Paul because he is 'radical' and threatens to disrupt the plan by the global elites: truthnews dot us/?p=1281
Please see Ron Paul speak for himself on youtube & keep educating yourselves on what's really going on in the country.
To those who are reading this right now, look into how many new donors the campaign has gotten. We are going to win this thing. Integrity, knowledge and dedication can do more than cronyism, bias, and collectivism.
Hilarious first paragraph dig at RP supporters. Easy, easy, I support RP too, but it still made me chuckle.
Ron Paul 2008!
' Ron Paul supporters pour millions into campaign coffers'
One wonders if they will have any money left over for their tin-foil hats.
By the way, 'editor', I rest my case.
I had almost lost all hope for this Country. I thought the Republicans where going to lose the election and We would end up with a big government liberal like Hitlery to really hamper this nation. And then... from the sky... inside the net... out of nowhere. A voice of reason. Hope. A breath of fresh air. A gentleman patriot comes to save the nation! Alleluia! I'm save. I smell the fresh cut grass of freedom in the distance the torch of liberty is flaming. Don't let it get away from us for I see light. Ron Paul is President!
Who IS Ron Paul?
Why would he get this much support?
Do your OWN homework.
NOBODY explains Ron Paul
BETTER than Ron Paul himself!
Here is an interactive audio archive of
Ron Paul speeches and interviews as a resource in chronological
order.

> supporters are so pumped for him.
Haha, we are the least insane people in this country at this point.
As one example I'd like to mention, I studied Middle Eastern history, and I almost fell out of my chair when Ron Paul brought up the 1953 Iranian Coup - Operation Ajax, which is the starting point for the Islamic revolution which later opened the door for the creation of Al Qaeda.
He brought this up during a debate. He actually told the truth of what US interventionism has led to - organizations like Al Qaeda. Operation Ajax was the first successful overthrow of a DEMOCRACY, and it was done to steal oil from Iran. The entire CIA report is declassified, I recommend the entire country read it, and then decide what sort of foreign policy we ought to have.
Calling us nuts? We're not nuts, we just aren't educated by television set.
What happens to all those unspent millions of dollars when it is found that this turkey can't fly? It won't be returned to the donors. Some nice retirement fund, I'll wager.
Ron Paul will need much more money than he has, we do these money bombs for reasons like a) attention B) build up his coffers so he doesnt have to keep asking every week for more help. Ron Paul has about 18.5 million as I write this message. If you know US politics, that money is already spent.
The Paul campaign is for real. We are growing exponentially in support. This is just another step, though a clearly groundbreaking one, in the peaceful reclamation of the American Democracy.
The Military/Industrial/Congressional Complex should be quaking in their boots.
Ron Paul 2008!
