http://teaparty07.com/ - TeaParty07 The goal was to reach 10 million by the end of the day, and already it's almost at 14 million. How a candidate with so much support is getting so little attention by the media makes me sad. You can watch the donations http://paulcash.slact.net/?save_the_republic - here. -------------

Huh, Neever really heard much about him. I was reading through his issues on his site. Will be interesting to see. -------------

Amen! However in a 3 way deathmatch I think Alan Keyes could take them both :) ------------- My shoes of peace have steel toes. |

Alan Keyes seemed to be randomly in that last debate.
As for Ron Paul, he is a favorite among college student types. I for one think he is a complete tool. and naive |

| Yep, someone who stands strong on his convictions and doesn't sway to the moderate to appease the masses is definitely a nutjob in this day in age. |

Exactly. America is going downhill in a lot of ways lately and a president who isn't going to go in a new direction isn't going to solve many problems. -------------

The fact that they have made it such a strong part of their campaigns to push the smaller parts of the platform are why I don't like them. Ron Paul's publicity is fueled through wanna-be revolutionists on college campuses everywhere. I just can't support a candidate who's main target base only likes him because of his liberal social ideals. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

If all of Ron Paul's supporters are college students, then I wonder where all this money is coming from. Last time I checked, students aren't the richest people in America.

Why?
The man is a conservative, and holds nothing but conservative ideals, apart from the vote getting marijuana platform. And what should the supporters of an inconsequential at best social idea have to do with you supporting a candidate or his views? If you didn't support every candidate because there are morons who are buying into a stupid platform then you would have no one to support. -------------

He does not hold "nothing but conservative ideals", he also holds Libertarian and Constitutionalist ideas as well. ------------- [IMG]http://i27.tinypic.com/1538fbc.jpg"> Squeeze Box ☣ |

He's only going to elect a democrat. His "supporters" need him to really believe that he should run no matter what happens in the primary. Then he can siphon off 15% of the republican vote with a 3rdparty and make the hildabeast queen with a minority. Perot caused the same effect but he was not an ignorant patsy like ronnie. ------------- My shoes of peace have steel toes. |

I honestly don't like any of the presidential candidates. Ron Paul wasn't all too bad at first, but then I learned he was crazy.

How wonderfully insightful, Cedric.
He's the most fiscally conservative candidate in the run. He's a libertarian, but he's pro-life and holds conservative values with regards to immigration, homosexuality, and social security. -------------

Almost always end up being selfish and self serving with no concern for the poor, or really any care for the benefit of society in general outside of their own pocketbooks. -------------

The same cannot be said for every line of political thinking though. Libertarian is not a politician, it is a ideology. -------------

You're incorrectly grouping libertarians with republicans and a specific ideology that not all libertarians hold. And didn't you say you hated part-time capitalists? How can you say that but exhibit so much distaste for strict capitalists? -------------

So should we not support what we feel is important in politics? Stop using the victim card for the poor. They have the ability to change their socioeconomic status, and for the few that don't, Ron Paul wouldn't be able to take away the current welfare system, even though he said he would strengthen it and other domestic programs with the money saved from his non-interventionism ideals. Also, (just so you have something to stereotype because you are so gung ho on trying to categorize a group of people based on silly misleading strings of logic) it comes as no surprise a long haired liberal would support people not willing to work for a living and take away from people that do. -------------

I don't recall ever bringing up or even mentioning Republicans in this thread. I am talking about Libertarians and their belief that any government intervention or program to help society is a bad thing, that society needs to weed itself out, so to speak.
I may dislike strict capitalists, but I respect that at least they stick to their guns about something. My dislike of part-time capitalists comes from my utter dislike of hypocrites. -------------

Well first off he was checked into a mental institution when he was 43. Stayed there for 2 years and was finally released. I guess that makes him crazy.

Statements like these are prime examples that you have no clue about the status and socioeconomic contributions surrounding the poor and disadvantaged in America. Very surprising coming from someone who I thought was rather intelligent. -------------

So ... results are in. December 16th raised... raised online: $6,023,995 total donation: 58,853 total new donors: 24630 Offline donations are still being processed. It is almost certain we beat Hilary's 6.2 alleged one day record considering the Nov. 5th offlines raked in 300k and the website announced 400k. |
