Who Is Ron Paul And Why Does He Piss Off Republicans?

this guy is shining beacon of light in a pile of shit the size of the moon. ron paul is a true american, the stereotype of old that the modern day american ego feeds on

as long as i've been paying attention he's the first american politician to bring up the unsustainable fiat monetary system as an issue, i never thought i'd see it until the crash. the last president to take back the power was andrew jackson and that lasted until wilson fucked it all

Ron Paul Really 3% Higher in the Polls Says Analyst.. and that's rising

fact, neo-con's are neither new, nor conservative. they're facist commies with ideals rooted in trotsky

he's a long shot, and i don't think the common american people are smart or care enough to really mobilize for a positive change.. apathy has been bred into you over the past few generations, but just seeing guys like this that are true to the principles of the founding fathers makes my heart all warm and fuzzy

and in response to why we pay so much attention to your politics, it matters more. at the end of the day we're subjects of the american kingdom, we just don't get to vote.

Is that guy still alive? Waiting for the next member of the GOP to get into some REALLY bad hot water so we can see another Bin Laden-threatens-America video to emerge in an attempt to distract people from it.

Amen brother.

Now THAT'S funny!!!

this shit brought a tear of joy to my eye

Ron Paul - Five Million Dollar Man?
Thursday, June 07, 2007 - FreeMarketNews.com

Congressman Ron Paul’s donations have moved up - not by hundreds of thousands - but by millions as a result of his debate performances and groundswell of support on the Internet and in New Hampshire, observers close to the campaign say.

The move is especially impressive since as of March 31, 2007, he had perhaps $500,000 on hand (see candidate estimates below).

FMNN had previously reported – after the GOP presidential debate in South Carolina - that candidate Ron Paul’s (R-Tex) donations, large and small, had nearly doubled.

Now observers close to the campaign are revealing – with some astonishment – that donations to the campaign in recent weeks have pushed the total up to perhaps $4 or $5 million.

“That’s a huge number at this stage,” says one observer. “That starts to put him in a position where he can compete – state by state, anyway – with the major candidates.”

And this source added, “Of course, it’s hard to tell because the numbers keep changing – and thus nobody at the campaign has a firm count, at least not hour to hour. But the numbers are big. It’s definitely over three, probably over four, and if it hasn’t hit five yet, it will soon.”

At this rate, say observers, Ron Paul could have something like $10 million in his coffers inside of several months, and the total could keep growing – so long as he continues to hit on themes that Americans support – how to return the country to a true, small government, constitutional republic and how to end the war in Iraq.

To be sure such amounts are somewhat speculative. But to put the amount of money Ron Paul is said to have raised recently in perspective, here are the figures of cash on hand for GOP candidates as of March 31, 2007:
