    Military Veterans march in DC to White House in support of Ron Paul




    Ron Paul's consistently strong anti-war message is one that resonates with many U.S. troops today. Hundreds of active duty troops, veterans, and Paul supporters marched from the Washington Monument to the White House this afternoon. Sick of fighting seemingly never-ending wars overseas, troops that took part in the march say they are ready for radical change. Liz Wahl spoke to veterans that say their only hope for that is getting Paul into the White House.

    Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is, by far, getting more military campaign contributions than anyone else in the 2012 field.

    President Obama ranks second, a review of Federal Election Commission donor records shows.
    Military Contributions to GOP Candidates 2012

    Ron Paul - $242,507 (1,405 donations)
    Mitt Romney - $22,753 (55 donations)
    Newt Gingrich - $11,550 (57 donations)

          Apparently you do, since you clicked on this thread For someone who "doesn't give a fuck" I find it ironic that you would come in here to even make a useless comment.

              Didn't know Thiel was Paul supporter...

              "A report filed earlier today showed PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel donated $1.7 million last month to a super PAC supporting one of Romney's GOP rivals, Ron Paul."

                  why is that a shock? thiel believes in the same social-darwinist libertarianism as paul does.

                      I know Thiel is a brilliant mind. I just wasn't aware of his social or political stances. I remember when he started the Thiel Fellowship opportunity which was pretty cool, so you are right it makes sense.

                      Looks like he donated $2.6 mil total: http://www.forbes.com/sites/lauriebe...aul-super-pac/

                          I can understand the troops' concerns in this matter. Some have done 5 or 6 tours now in Iraq and Afghanistan.
