hahaha.. you really have an agenda dont you...

of course I have plenty of posts where I dont mention Ron Paul, like, 500 odd..

Haven't you got the hint yet? Everyone in this thread wants you to fuck off, you annoying little shit. :321GFY

Hey guys lay off Alex, hes been around a long long time, he knows what hes talking about. In fact, he knows everything. Hes the porn webmaster worlds very own expert on all.

A guy that has the time he has to read every post ever submitted and reply to 90% of them obviously has the time to learn just about everything worth learning. And if you'd just take the time to listen to what he posts you too can learn something. For example, in this thread I learned Ron Paul is a dufus. Now before reading that I had always found the good doctor to be highly intelligent. So Alex, thank you for pointing that out me, and us all. I will continue, as always, to hang on your every word, all 50,000 you type each day.

buzzy, didn't you get the hint? Ron Paul's supporters are trying to use the board to solicit money for their campaign. They are the annoying shits. :321GFY

Bump for Ron Paul 2008.

PS...its not called spam when multiple people support his cause...it would be called a discussion.

Hey Doug, isn't it time for your McShift?

Also another note...Ron Paul is highly against regulating the internet... those in the adult business I would think would support such a cause seeing as how 2257 and Ashcroft was completely awesome.

EXACTLY! we're not organizing and coercively 'spamming' as RawAlex likes to claim, we're just discussing a political figure and his campaign, what is wrong with that?! :upsidedow

Agreed. Ron Paul really seems like the right guy for the job. I've always thought that presidential elections had become a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils, but Ron Paul really inspires the feeling, in my cynical heart of hearts, that there just might be an honest and upstanding politician out there who will do what's best for all Americans rather than just select groups.

I don't quite understand your stance, RawAlex, particularly because Ron Paul could be very good for the adult industry, especially in regard to the gripes we all complain about and to which you routinely comment.

If these Ron Paul posts are spam, then in my humble opinion they are quite possibly a good sort of spam. Just my :2 cents:.

1M in a day,that's huge. If he does well in NH, he'll have traction for the rest of the campaign.

congradu-fucking-lations doesn't stop the fact that you said he joined here just to spam ron paul, when in fact, he joined here a year before you did...

he WILL do well in New Hampshire, they love freedom there :thumbsup I am confident he will do well and he has just started spending his CASH and is moving up in the polls.

he might pull of a Buchanan or a McCain surprise, do not rule it out, half the voters in New Hampshire are INDEPENDENTs and they could throw a spanner in the works.

Excellent post Sands. no one defends the constitution as much as Ron Paul, he is highly relevant to this community, he was the ONLY Republican to vote against CDA/COPA in the House and caught flak for it from political opponents who tried to use it against him in his district but the voters saw through it and keep returning him to Congress..

Ron Paul is a politician. Politicians need consensus to get anything done, which includes appeasing assholes and idiots and the religious right and Presidents don't make laws.
:2 cents:

Ron Paul does not compromise, they have tried and failed.

Newt Gingrich exempted him from the Republican party whip in the House, no one else got an exemption because he does not compromise.

as Commander in Chief a President has enormous authority over Foreign Policy and Paul would change America's foreign policy from interventionist to non-intervenionist.

He wouldn't need to ask Congress to add to the national debt and authorize $300bn every year for Iraq for example, because he would be working on getting out of Iraq

Domestically, he will try and get his program through Congress and work with them but most importantly he has the Veto pen, which im sure he would happily use.

politics IS the art of compromise.

you don't even seem to understand how politics and government works.

a veto means nothing. there is such a thing as a veto over ride you know... happens quite often.

you can't be an effective leader if no one is following.

he can provide leadership and take his party with him

things he can do immediately, as commander in chief like ORDER an immediate withdrawal from Iraq and around the world from places like Korea, this would save the US taxpayer hundreds of billions of dollars in a matter of months

ohh... just "ORDER" what he wants, without a political and/or popular consensus or support? so its ok when the nazi you want is in power acting unilaterally and without support... but not the current nazi?


makes even more sense.

the Congress did not declare war in Iraq so it is unconsitutional and Ron Paul would correct that

Ron Paul 2008. K, Thx!

sent in my money!

He supports the constitution and thats what lets us do the work we do!

I think what he's saying is that just because he's president doesn't mean that everything he wants to do can be done..

If he DID get elected.. and started trying to make too many radical changes, he'd scare people.. and congress would stop him in his tracks... no matter the party..

If he can break $5M today, it really would be something.

really?

and... what? no democrats thought about raising this point?

strange.

possibly because they almost all voted to authorize the use of military force... and repeatedly authorized the funding for it?

...just tossing ideas out there.

I realize that, there are a lot of big spenders in Congress!

But as President he can provide leadership, protect liberties (through the veto pen) and the one thing he can do right away is order troops home from undeclared wars.

*nod*
So fucking true.

LOL its seriously disturbing that anyone in this business, or ANY business that functions online isn't supporting Ron Paul.

NO OTHER CANDIDATE represents what WE need as far as free speech AND blocking new internet regulations.

We have some serious idiots here.

Anyways, I donated $100.

the authorization is not worth the paper it's written on, Article I of the constitution clearly says that Congress has the power to declare war not pass authorizations, war was not declared (like vietnam), the aims and objectives are unclear for example the regime has long been overthrown and Saddam executed but the troops are still there, why?

haha. i hope you are not typical of the average ron paul supporter.

this shit was straight spam.......


"what do you think of ron paul would be a discussion" :2 cents:

Which is EXACTLY why the democrats can use the excuse 'We voted to allow bush to use force, we didnt think he actually would'.

As opposed to declairing war, which is a clear statement that we're going to invade.

and following the Constituion and having declaration would also provide clear aims and objectives like we do this, then we leave.

is it any wonder these undeclared wars turn out to be a costly nightmare?

The V.N. conflict wasn't a war.. it was a police action... Made it easier to hear I suppose..

UPDATE

This is now on the front page of Drudgereport.com, ABC, New York Times, Yahoo.com, news.Google.com, etc. (Not newsworthy huh RawAlex??)

well done everyone that contributed!*

*still a few hours left :)

Paul Raises More Than $3.5 Million

By JIM KUHNHENN ? 1 hour ago

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, aided by an extraordinary outpouring of Internet support Monday, hauled in more than $3.5 million in 20 hours.

Paul, the Texas congressman with a Libertarian tilt and an out-of-Iraq pitch, entered heady fundraising territory with a surge of Web-based giving tied to the commemoration of Guy Fawkes Day.

Fawkes was a British mercenary who failed in his attempt to kill King James I on Nov. 5, 1605. He also was the model for the protagonist in the movie "V for Vendetta." Paul backers motivated donors on the Internet with mashed-up clips of the film on the online video site YouTube as well as the Guy Fawkes Day refrain: "Remember, remember the 5th of November."

Paul's total deposed Mitt Romney as the single-day fundraising record holder in the Republican presidential field. When it comes to sums amassed in one day, Paul now ranks only behind Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton, who raised nearly $6.2 million on June 30, and Barack Obama.

Paul spokesman Jesse Benton said the effort began independently about two months ago at the hands of Paul's backers. He said Paul picked up on the movement, mentioning in it speeches and interviews.

"It's been kind of building up virally," Benton said.

The $3.5 million, he said, represented online contributions from more than 22,000 donors.

Paul has been lagging in the polls behind Republican front-runners. But he captured national attention at the end of September when he reported raising $5.2 million in three months, putting him fourth among Republican presidential candidates in fundraising for the quarter.

Paul as of Monday had raised $6.3 million since Oct. 1, more than half his goal of $12 million by the end of the year, according to his Web site.

Paul advocates limited government and low taxes like other Republicans, but he stands alone as the only GOP presidential candidate opposed to the Iraq war. He also has opposed Bush administration security measures that he says encroach on civil liberties.

Damn straight.. you cant beat a libertarian.. Democrats and Republicans will try to regulate the net... This thread should be pinned ;)

It's up over 3.8 Million!

Our industry needs Ron Paul

the US needs Ron Paul

if he does even a fraction of what he says he will do we cant go wrong

refreshing thread. i remember what it was like to be young and naive about how the world works... to always think i understood... understood change and thought the future was going to be nothing but butterflies and rainbows.

of course, later i began to understand how the world actually works. how a two party political system works... how many interests there are that actually vote... how corrupt you have to be to get anything done in a corrupt system and that politicians do and say everything upfront to make you believe they are going to change the world... then in the end, they end up being a part of the same sucky system that requires compromise after compromise after compromise to get anything done at all and to do anything even remotely good.

the dream is nice though.

there is definately something to said for being naive. its pleasant.

Bump for Ron Paul

Proof of the power of spam.

You guys must be proud.

Over $4.2 million raised so far today... It's a good day for Dr. Paul.

:thumbsup

You are on crack. Trust me, judging from your previous posts you have no fucking idea how the world works. :1orglaugh.

Okay, so, let's ask the serious question: Ron Paul is a republican, but is pretty much not in line with anything any republican has to say, and more often than not sides with the democrats.

Now, do you honestly think that the important parts of the republican party (such as the religious right, the war mongers, the reagan conservatives, and the bush bullies) will line up behind a guy who is all soft and gooey and spews on about constitutional rights and getting away from the war?

He wouldn't have a huge chance as a democrat, and as a republican he is pretty much the anti-christ. He only gets the knod if between now and january he sells his soul to the hyper conservative wing of the party and agrees that god is good and the good book should tell us what to do, may god bless america.

Did I miss something?

Ok? What's your point? If he gets elected most of the bible bashing war mongers in the republican party will be GONE.

buzzy, the point is that he is trying to get the nomination in a party filled with exactly those people. They are the majority of the party, and thier vote won't be for the guy that pisses on their ideals.

You can't get elected if you don't get selected.

uuhmm....

i guess now you're on crack too?

I reckon.

Hmm, yea that must be why Ron Paul has a main headline on like every single news website right now for his RECORD day... I'm sure they will be talking about it a lot tomorrow.

I love how CNN completely ignored the accomplishments of their efforts

Ron Paul supporters are serious. They have been out on the streets holding signs around here for at least a month already.

But .. why? What is the goal of a Ron Paul supporter? Not much of a chance of winning. Is it to raise awareness of certain issues?

I like many of his libertarian positions but he goes too far for me with banishing the Federal reserve and pulling out of the UN. Not that any of the other candidates are any better.

I think the Federal Reserve should go away why do we have a private bank that controls our money?

and who the fuck wants to be in the UN they want to be able to tax us too!

They dont get it, thats why the right courted all the wackos because thats the only way they could win. Ron Paul is a two trick pony he is against the war and wants to go back to the gold standard but he is kind of fuzzy on the rest. The senior vote is huge and they arent going to vote for someone that could fuck with their social security and Medicare. The good thing would be he just cant order things done if he was president so it would get all tied up and nothing would be done. Bloomberg for President.
