Subscribe to RSSRon Paul's presidential campaign used the occasion of Constitution Day for a 24-hour money bomb that raised more than $1 million from over 18,000 donors, according to the campaign.
Following Paul’s win at the California GOP straw poll on Saturday, where the presidential hopeful grabbed 45% of the vote, the campaign sent fundraising emails urging supporters to continue to donate and use the victory as “more proof of what polls have been saying for months” -- that Paul is “a top tier contender to WIN the Republican nomination for President,” and the Republican to “defeat President Obama.”
In a statement about the money bomb, Ron Paul 2012 Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton said:
“Our campaign continues to grow in strength and numbers, and the success of these truly grassroots events is a telling example of Dr. Paul’s support. Our rising poll numbers and successful fundraising demonstrate that Dr. Paul’s strong message of Constitutionally-limited government, a traditionally Republican non-interventionist foreign policy and a return to sound money is clearly resonating with the American people.”
According to the campaign, this marks the fifth time during the 2012 election cycle that Paul has raised over $1 million dollars for a single fundraising event.
The third fundraising quarter of 2011 ends on Sept. 30.

WOW!
Color me impressed...
NOT! lol
Nothing like a good old 'grass roots' movement now is there?
Why are you being sarcastic? That equals out to a donation of about $55 per person. Sounds pretty grass-roots to me!
He's clearly the GOP nominee.
More importantly...
A nominee acceptable to First Read.
And, like most of us conservatives, First Read wants the best possible...most viable...candidate to oppose President Obama in 2012.
Anyway...
What's the latest on Sarah Palin...?
Anything?
Anything at all?
C'mon...
Something?
OK...ANYTHING?
Here's the skinny on Palin:
She thinks that guy that wrote that book is a 'stalker'. He moved into a vacant property next to hers, see? And that makes him a stalker.
WAIT- this just in: Palin does NOT think the guy's a stalker- that was just Hannity, Huckabee and all the other 'liberal media' that was reporting that on the same day last week following the release of the offical talking points- false alarm.
As you were.
I don't want to be skeptical; but are we going to find out in October that it was one donor who pledged the amount and he is in the tank?
LOL. a million a day is impressive; but sadly can't compete in the current Corporate Sponsored fund raising. If only he could get the Insurance companies in his pocket, or a couple of Supreme Court justices?
I found this little tid-bit interesting!
Even in Chi-Town they begin to turn!
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/chi-chapman-obama-reelection,0,622512.column
(That must drive Feisty and Bev CRAZY! - short drive that it is :-P)
Yeah... a hit piece by a known conservative in a right leaning publication is driving me crazy! lol
Didn't sleep a wink last night! ;o)
PS: Actually, I thought the NJ nut job was ghost writing!
Paul raised money. Super.
Perhaps First Read could tell us how much the Head of Energy's wife's law firm made representing Solyndra?
The article could explode the nature of the relationship between the firm and the DOE, and provide a time line of the approvals, recusals and payment of legal fees.
I'd alos love to her the wife's cut - as I presume she is a partner and therefore has an equity interest in the firm.
Ah, the croney capitalism.
So how about it Anthony Terrell, up for it? Might be fun.
I give Ron Paul credit, for a lot of things, such as honesty. If there is a third-party candidate, he's the one. But he probably wouldn't do that. Bachmann or Palin would be more likely to do that. Palin isn't running at all, not even for VP (we already know how that went, and it's not worth losing her job at FAUX Noise). Unfortunately they all have a 19th century, even 18th century mentality.
Ron Paul always wins. The more people hear his ideas the more he shapes the national debate. Debating real issues is winning for America! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xtl2ZuJpG9M
Sounds like there's alot of people not happy living in the obama economy is what that sounds like.
Ah...yes...18,000 in a nation of over 300 million had a spare $50 lying around. Duly noted.
Since you're into math, it's roughly 210 MILLION that are dissatified with the Obama economy and how he handles it. Latest polls have 70% saying so.
Thanks for helping me make my point!
Rob, you should take a look at the on-going poll on another thread here. 68% DO NOT think Obama is engaging in class warfare with his tax proposals, only 29% DO think so.
68% are FOR the wealthy paying more.
Fielden,
I'm not really surprised. Actually, I suspected the number would be higher. The poll is pretty much asking is it okay to raise somebody else's taxes meaning not yours. This is result of the progressive movement....Let Someone Else Pay.
The more interesting poll is that 52% do not want to PASS THIS BILL!
You can't even find a well known democrat pushing the failed president's stimulus bill. Democrats know that they can't get reelected supporting anything with obama's fingerprints on it.
Really? Someone actually polled all 300 million people in the country?
C'mon...you know better than that.
And we won't be happy with the economy until the rules are changed that allow guys like Spanky to write their vacations off on their taxes. Comon now Spanky, we know you "stretch" the tax code.
I think it is more like 18,000 pledgin a dollar and one or two stolies pledging a hard 491,000; but I am always skeptical at Republican Math. They simply aren't good at it.
I'll wait for the ACTUAL report,...odds are it will be revised sharply downward.
You are wrong Torpedo.
I dutifully follow the wise legal counsel of my tax attorney.
Besides, the tax code is fantastic in a lot of ways. Like allowing me to write off $25000 every time I buy a luxury SUX [or any other vehicle with a GVW or 6500 pounds].
I take what they give.
So Torpedo, why won't Obama actually effect real tax code change? You really think this new tax on capital gains is a good thing?
It really just shows how clueless he is. Plus it will never, ever go anywhere.
Obama's tax the rich plan was never meant to pass.
This is his swan song....I'm for the little guy like all of you.
Vote for me.....
Love me.....
Vote for me.....
Love me.....
How pathetic!
Time to seperate your cheeks and come up for a breath of air. No matter how you dimwits try and spin it close to 65% of the entire country are in favor of increasing the taxes on the rich. Nothing left to be said and that is in a country where for the past 18 1/2 years has basically been split down the middle on every issue.
Rob, wow, what a conclusion.
By your reasoning 86 million means a lot of people are unhappy living with Bush era "trickle-down" voodoo economic policies that the GOP/TP are forcing us to continue living under. Check out the poll today on this site and you'll see a large majority support fairer taxes, i.e., ending corporate welfare and tax breaks for the rich.
Ah, just go back to your right-wing Echo Chamber and Cone of Silence.
ah the voodoo economics of obama and FR libs and perhaps even the economist mark zandi.
The multiplier effect, zandi promoted of about 1.64 or so libs told me last fall and I think Keynesian theory peg's it at about 1.8.
With unemployment still above 9% a first half GDP of less than 2 and little jobs growth since the 2009 stimulas I would say that both multipliers have missed the mark big time.
TP - of course they do, it is OPM, why not support it? the reality is that it still won't fix the economy, because it won't cover current and forecasted spending.
Come on Paul run as a third party candidate, your republican party will never nominate you anyway.
Your party does not want national health care and cheer the death of someone without health care. Let's spread some of that good old American values.
Then in natural disasters lets just watch our fellow Americans die. Surely you can't expect the tea party to care about human life. Once you are born they don't care what happens to you.
Wasn't it Jesus and the republican tea party that said p!ss on your fellow man to get to heaven?
Some liberals are so bent on having Obama ruin this country even more, they make up things as they move along. Liberals are always confusing politics with religion... and they are the largest proponet of separation between church and religion... but yet they seem to always want to tie the two together.
Keep it up liberals... you are marching to the drumbeat of desperation.
Good ol Brianb...Long on hyperbole and short on facts..If you want to discuss the"ruination" of America:
For decades this nation has systematically torn down the ‘levees’ which protected Americans from the flood of third-world wages. The 21st Century global economy (Information Technology and Manufacturing Supply Chain Management) makes the loss of those ‘levees’ critically fatal for our economy (and for Europe also). Today in Information Technology it is as easy to WebEx to the desk of an individual on some other continent as it is to the cube next to you. Today with state of the art Supply Chain Management, a corporation can produce, ship, go through Customs, and deliver by rail… as predictably as if the factory were across town. The next time you are on the freeway, look around you. The trucks you see on the road carry 20 ton sealed containers packed by third-world laborers. Customs? In many cases that step is done in the originating port (like Shanghai). The ultimate efficiency and has changed every aspect of western economies.
Consider what the landscape of western countries will look like as mortgage holders complete their dive into the global economy. Picture what small business competing with multinational corporations will look like. Picture what discretionary income the small businesses customers will have. Until the broken ‘levees’ are addressed, we will continue to lose our economy and our federal & state tax base. Without that tax base, where are our federal & state debt payments?
Consider that the greatest threat to individual liberty in America clearly comes from corporatism, not socialism. We have a system that favors the very rich and allows them to avoid paying taxes in THE country that made them rich, through the magic of corporate tax law. The free market is a illusion formulated and repeated daily by right-wing ideologues like Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck and the bulk of talk radio. Show me an example of a supposed free market commodity (drugs, food, oil, clothing, weapons, law, health insurance) and I will show you a system of laws and controls that clearly favors large corporate players over individuals that enables wealthy shareholders to avoid paying taxes.
To the detriment of the middle class, OUR government, mostly under Republican administrations, has been the largest re-distributor of wealth in history since the WWII (and especially since 1980) Successive Republican administrations and their congressional lackeys have funneled trillions of dollars to the defense establishment, the financial markets, pharmaceuticals, health insurance and big agriculture, through direct spending as well as regulation. (The gutting of the FDA and repeal of the Glass Steagall Act come to mind here).
To suggest that the two alternatives are 'socialism' and 'free market capitalism' is utterly disingenuous; the only choices offered are redistribution of wealth from the people to large corporations (the Republican/blue dog Democrat model) or a slightly slower redistribution of wealth from the people to large corporations (the rest of the Democrats). If true socialism were actually being proposed by any serious politician in the U.S., American voters would be smart to jump on that bandwagon. Luckily for the knee-jerk anti-commie crowd, this is unlikely, as the right has redefined the political spectrum to such a degree that Ronald Reagan would be labeled a socialist if he ran for office in 2012 with his 1980s policies.
It is time for someone, anyone to come down on the side of the middle class...It is truly time for us to "take back" the legacy our fathers and grandfathers fought and died for in the the Second World War.
Brianb, which party is having prayer meeting on a national scale, which party wants to mandate religious doctrine like birth control, anti gay campains, abortions, all of which are reiligion based. You really are uninformed or just plain not on this planet. Their is nothing wrong with a canidate having religious beliefs so long as they do not create laws based on those beliefs. That is seperation of church and state.
The great theory of liberals... They are suspect of any republican having religion. That's why they supported Clinton... not a religious bone in that man's body... Obama... not sure whether he's a muslim or a christian... no one can tell but his spiritual master. Jimmy Carter was OK with liberals even though we all know he was Southern Baptist... since he said he would never interject his belief while in office... well almost.
I'm surprised Torpedo You hasn't brought up the dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide because the conservatives support the use of it. You do know what Dihydrogen Monoxide is... don't you? An odorless tasteless compound when inhaled can cause immediate death. In it's solid form it can create extensive skin damage when handled. Yep, the conservatives support the use of this compound. Another name for it is hydric acid. It's the major component of acid rain. And yes I support the use of it... I think you should be using it in great quantities.
Torpedo You... Why don't you look towards your own party for the things you rail against the republicans on. They are just as guilty for doing the exact same things in your wordy but insignificant post. You liberals are always pointing the finger outward but never check your own house for the same things. Democrats have had the opportunity to reverse these things for over 4 years but haven't taken step one to do it. That tells me they are all for the shrinking middle class and increasing the wealth of the rich people too.
My gosh man... are you that stuck on stupid to not realize this?
OK Brianb...I'll play your inane game. Riddle me this: If the employment rate during the Bush years hovered in 4-6% range, then that would mean that most people were working and paying their taxes. Agreed? Then how can you say that the now unemployed are now deadbeats, owned by unions, AND are responsible for the economic meltdown by taking out mortgages they couldn't afford. What? Crickets? Guess Clinton did it!
If you really read the post, blame was fixed on BOTH parties. Clinton signed Glass Steagall and NAFTA. But the parade was orchestrated by Republicans.
Lastly. Where has all the wealth gone and who has been responsible. Simple question. And please don't give the "free market" BS. My guess is you are really a paper pusher who never spent a day in a manufacturing environment. Am I right?
Brianb. I am suspect of any man having a religious belief and trying to crame that belief down my throat. Its not the belief that is bad but what one does with that belief, trying to dominate the thought and beliefs of another, dismissing ones belief because it is not your belief. And you are a prime example, still working that muslim or christian angle as if it matters. Neither belief is bad only how and who is using it to suite their needs and not the beliefs. Religion is an individual right to practice in this country unless you do not believe in this country and what it stands for. Again your statement "not sure whether he's a muslim or a christian" What is your issue with either unless you can only have the one right belief according to whom, you.
Correction..Should say Clinton signed The Gramm Leach Biley Act the repealing Glass Steagall.
Brianb-999431
"Some liberals are so bent on having Obama ruin this country even more, they make up things as they move along."
Yep- y' ratted us out, Brianb. Even though we all have to live here, and our families and friends all live here, too, we thought it would be in everyone's best interest to have someone 'ruin the country'.
Pretty observant guy, you are. How DO you figure these things out??
"You do know what Dihydrogen Monoxide is... don't you?"
Yes- it's that stuff that Reagan mixed with some nitrogenous waste (think uric acid, here, Mr Wizzard) , and 'trickled down' on most of the country's honest, hard working citizens.
OK Brianb...I'll play your inane game. Riddle me this: If the employment rate during the Bush years hovered in 4-6% range, then that would mean that most people were working and paying their taxes. Agreed? Then how can you say that the now unemployed are now deadbeats, owned by unions, AND are responsible for the economic meltdown by taking out mortgages they couldn't afford. What? Crickets? Guess Clinton did it! You assume that I am saying that. Being recently revived from unemployment myself, deadbeat not, was never owned by unions and I wasn't responsible for any economic meltdown. Torpedo you, do tell me what you are smoking.... it's some pretty good stuff eh? Hallucinogetic?
If you really read the post, blame was fixed on BOTH parties. Clinton signed Glass Steagall and NAFTA. But the parade was orchestrated by Republicans. You are noted for bashing conservatives.
Lastly. Where has all the wealth gone and who has been responsible. Simple question. And please don't give the "free market" BS. My guess is you are really a paper pusher who never spent a day in a manufacturing environment. Am I right? Considering that wealth is held mostly by rich people, I'd have to say they've taken the largest hit. When the stock market fails, it's mostly retirement programs that take the hit. The stock market is holding it's own lately... so can't blame them. Sounds like middle class retirement funds are doing pretty much OK to me at this time.
Speaking of failures... How about that Solyintra? Didn't Obama give them the big ol thumbs up and toss them a half a billion? Tell me where that money went... into the pockets of.... whom???
Brianb. I am suspect of any man having a religious belief and trying to crame that belief down my throat. Surely you mean cram... don't you? I'd like to know which person is cramming his personal belief down your throat... what candidate has knocked on your door and pushed his belief on you? Its not the belief that is bad but what one does with that belief, trying to dominate the thought and beliefs of another, dismissing ones belief because it is not your belief. Where have I crammed anything down your throat... I've always stated on these boards that religion is a choice, not a debate. I've never pushed or proselytized my beliefs on you... are you intimidated easily? And you are a prime example, still working that muslim or christian angle as if it matters. Neither belief is bad only how and who is using it to suite their needs and not the beliefs. Religion is an individual right to practice in this country unless you do not believe in this country and what it stands for. Again your statement "not sure whether he's a muslim or a christian" What is your issue with either unless you can only have the one right belief according to whom, you. If you have no problem with Obama being muslim... then good for you. Personally I like my leaders to believe in God, not Allah.
Season - I do understand... you live the simple life.. no worries about what tomorrow may bring... no fear of death or the unknown. All that jazz written in the Bible is nothing but a blown up story. There is no accountability with you... except to your political affiliation... Jesus... may or may not have even existed in your world... No one can convince you because you are smarter than that. It's all fantasy like a 3 chapter story... Don't question your existence because that's someone else's problem or worry... religious people.. all nuts and can be classified as psychotic by most mental institutions.... That describe your views pretty much?
Yep- y' ratted us out, Brianb. Even though we all have to live here, and our families and friends all live here, too, we thought it would be in everyone's best interest to have someone 'ruin the country'.
It's either that Dash, or you guys are mentally irregular.
Stand by your straw-man.For those who want to see Obama re-elected,here's to your welfare checks,and your earned income credits,and your food stamps,medicaid,and whatever you can suck of the government's tit.Keep sucking till Obama's head caves in.If you think it was Bush's fault,then keep that in mind when Obummer becomes a one term mistake.
I didn't know that welfare, earned income credits and food stamps, medicaid all were started when President Obama was elected. Also the economy was in perfect condition and we weren't in two wars sucking our country dry.
It was bush's economist that said we could start wars and give tax cuts all at the same time.(now works for Romney) Remember Cheney, Regan proved that deficients don't matter as drove up the credit card without the sense to tax and spend, the republicans seemed to think that borrow and spend was smarter for America and still do.
You keep telling yourself it all started when President Obama was elected.
I know one thing if a republican gets elected as president, I will be praying for the rapture. God, beam me up because there is nothing left but hateful death cheering tea partiers down here.
I wouldn't throw Ron Paul to the wolves just yet. If he became the nominee, I'd vote for him. He does say things I like... he does have principle and he does not support the new world order.
But not so much principle that he wouldn't let the sick and infirm die rather than help them. Nice... NOT.
You're seriously confused about who Ron Paul is, fielden. Unless you are one of those who blindly regurgitate what the main stream media spins as "news."
TorpedoYou---Excellent points!! That completely torpedos any arguments that people like BrianB have to offer like "Damn you liberals" and "Obama Sucks". The right has nothing to offer to cure the plight of the middle-class. Nothing, absolutely nothing!
LOL, Forrest! TURDS!!!, every one of them.
Brianb....Your boys and girls in the govermnment have supporting the NWO for decades. Or have you been to stupid to notice or just too young and immature.
Or to put it another way, Brianb might say:
"Socialism" (as I define it) BAD.
Maybe he is just another paper pusher like the Spankster who suck off the middle class. (And to think, they call US "socialists." Go Figure!
"Corporate Welfare" GOOD.
Please see my post above. (I wonder if this guy even knows what a supply chain is?)
Ellen FO did you watch the debate with the question to Ron Paul? We heard what the audience had to say but what was Mr. Pauls answer to that question. It was not far off what the audience had to say. Ron Paul does say somethings that are good but most are to out of touch with todays reality. So fielden is not confused just paying attention to Ron Pauls own words. Did Ron Paul correct the audience in their opinion of let him die, I did not hear it did you. Selective hearing to support ones beliefs is dangerous.
He said that the government should not be involved, but that society should not let that man die. It's a moral issue, not a government one. That is what charity is for...to help the downtrodden and less-fortunate. If you make the decision to help and support charity, good for you. It shouldn't be mandatory through taxes, though. Expecting the government to take care of you is a very slippery slope.
Ron Paul will never be the republican nominee, he is a front runner in many respects, but gets treated like an "also ran" at the horse-track by Fox. He says a lot of things that some people like to hear, but he has assured both parties he will slaughter many of their sacred cows. He will siphon off some votes on both sides with write in votes for him, and that is about the extent of it, and that is why no matter how well he does that is why he is treated like a turd in the republican's punch bowl.
If by "slaughtering sacred cows" you mean the 50 million American children, men and women that lack health insurance, I would agree. Ron Paul is all about slaughtering things, unfortunately some of them are my friends.
We have had government involvement in healthcare for 50 years and we are hitting all time highs in the number of uninsured americans while healthcare costs rise relentlessly.
As far as comments on FEMA go, let's just ask the good people of New Orleans how federal bureaucrats coming to the rescue worked out for them (hint: it didn't work out so good). On the same token, please wiki "state of emergency" and read about these declarations are frequently abused by government as a tool to suppress oposition when they are declared for extended periods of time.... then note that we have been operating under a state of emergency since 1995.
Liberty and free markets are moral principles that address the fairest way to allocate scarce resources and show a far greater respect for life than the welfare/warfare state.
What a waste of money! Only shows how weak the Repub/Tea-baggers field is doing! They don't like Perry and the rest of the clowns!
Meanwhile, Ralph Nader and other progressives are looking for a candidate to primary against Obama.
But all is well in moonbat land...nothing to worry about.
bobby lotsanumbers
Thanks for the weather report from where you are. We suspected as much.
Now we have a report from Bob&#'s live from Glenbeckistan.
I sometimes wonder if those posting with a string of numbers after their names (i.e. Bob, Brian and Rob in MA), are using their mental hospital designations as part of their monikers. It is the only explanation for their mentally challenged rants here.
Or perhaps they are posting from prison which is where most of Wall Street belongs.
Anthony Terrell apparently did not get the corporate memo banning the use of Ron Pauls name in print, so long Anthony hope other career opportunities come up for you real soon.
So Ron Paul does well in California straw poll. Really? This place is not the center of common sense, so I dont find it surprising. They helped elect BHO (and will vote for him again, despite the failure he has been), and recently put the nutjob Brown in office. Not the center of intelligent thinking.
As much as Paul is a fringe nutjob, I would vote for him over BHO any day. At least he has SOME ideas that make sense...
Ron Paul is the only honest man running for president. Even when you
don't agree with him, at least you know he's telling you what he really
believes. He doesn't just recite talking points.
RON PAUL 2012
www.whatthehellbook.com
Yeah, thanks, I do know that he wants 51 million Americans to die.
Dan, you are very uninformed. Cite your source where that was said. It's misinformation like this that makes it hard to differentiate FACT from OPINION.
Would anyone of the free market republicans, trickle down enthusiasts answer one question.
During the last 6 months of President Bushs Presidency after the enacted tax cuts how many private sector jobs were being created each month.
Please just the factual numbers.
"Civil Rights was about property, not racism" - Ron Paul. He is a bigot. And besides..
Its a small world after all, Ronnie, and we have to be part of it. We have to walk our talk about liberty, freedom, and human rights. Because we are a great nation, and it is part of who we are.
I know all about the ulterior motives, the political and economic reasons, and agree with many regarding oil amibitions, ect. its slime.
But still, we need to be prepared to stand up against evil, and defend ourselves also, and that sometimes means overseas, because its a small world. What happens out there impacts us.
Ron Paul always wins! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xtl2ZuJpG9M
Some of you people are living in the stone age.. Nobody wants the same ol bs politics we have had for the last 4 decades. If you guys like war why dont you stop typing and go to Irag and fight for us. But if not STFU. The youth and the ones with brains are moving forward.. Ron Paul 2012
We don't want to STFU and listen to Nazis. If you follow Ron Paul you are either completely ignorant or self absorbed with a total lack of compassion. Very unChristian! It's all about money for you isn't it? Thank God for the rest of us.
I am one of the 18,000 to give $50. If we can get enough to run ads to bypass the corporate-global media, he can get his message of freedom out to the masses. As it is now the "media" is controlling the people by controlling the the information. This state run media is what we really need to discuss. The candidates pay the media, the corporations pay the candidates, and the people are left out.
The true polling is when, The Two Bella Abzug regressive e'rrrrrr progressive I mean posters here get excited and degrogatory about an opponet that will challange their Mandingo hero , then you know theres a contender.
Ron Paul is spreading like fire in the army ranks. As a U.S Soldier I can tell you, we are ready to get the hell out of these wars and Ron Paul is the only one that has our back. This is why I donated my hard earned cash to Dr. Paul and why I tell every Soldier I know to do the same. Ron Paul 2012!!!!!
As long as those soldiers realize that when they get home to "no jobs" and no health insurance for their families, that Ron Paul is advocating the deaths of their families.
Apparently Ron Paul will "SAY" anything if it means votes, Take a look at his district, Take a look at his record, He is the Federal Aid begger of Federal Aid beggers in a State that basically operates off of Federal Aid,,,,,,,,,,If you want t see the Economy go down the toilet vote for Ron Paul, Bush flushed it, But Ron Paul has the plunger
Maybe you should check Ron Paul's 30 year + voting record. If you were correct the media and the globalists Republican candidates would point that out. But we know the truth because we check it out rather than posting unverifiable crap. Either get your facts right or be labled a globalist liar, like the rest of the candidates.
Hey, isn't Paul the guy that is recommending that Americans without health insurance "be allowed to die"? And wasn't that said to a crowd of cheering Tea Heads? Sounds like it could become Ron Paul's very own holocaust "made in America". Well there's 51 million votes he isn't going to get. Please donate your money to Ron Paul so it will be wasted on a candidate that doesn't have a chance of winning now that we know his plans for the unemployed. Hell of a jobs plan there. "No jobs, let's kill em. Same result, less unemployed.
As a white, highly educated, unemployed man in Michigan, Ron Paul was beginning to intrigue me. I wanted to know more. And then I heard that last weekend he stated that: "those without health insurance should be allowed to die". Hey, wait a minute, that includes me. So on the republican side we have Paul, who wants all of us without health insurance to die off, we have Perry who wants to end Social Security and take away all of the income I thought I was stashing to do my part and leave my 83 year old mother with no income or health insurance, and Bachmann who I love to listen to as she flails away with one nincompoop statement after another. So what do we have here. Sounds like two Nazis and a nincompoop. Says something about their supporters.
Are you deaf or just stupid. Why don't you post his actual comment on that topic to prove yourself wrong.
I'm not a big fan of Mitt Romney. But, if you must vote republican, he is the only candidate on the republican side that has even half a brain. Extremely successful in business, which America should heed, and turned the Salt Lake Winter Olympics around from a tragic loss, to very successful financially. A vote for any other republican candidate is a wasted vote.
At least you admit you are not Republican leaning. Your opinion in the Republican primary is not sought after. We don't give a crap whay you Dems think.
I gave to Dr. Ron Paul's money bomb. Before that I never gave my money to a politician in my life. Not once. But Dr. Ron Paul changed that. He is an honest man with integrity. I believe he cares about liberty and I believe he is the only selfless servant of the people left in politics today. I will donate to every money bomb he has as long as he needs my support.
Dr. Ron Paul started this movement of liberty overy 30 years ago. But the movement is now bigger than Dr. Ron Paul. The corrupt main stream media puppets may find a way to stop him in this election, maybe not. But even if you do, you cannot stop this movement which has passed critical mass and is now growing exponentially. Liberty is rising.
