Dude…

COLUMBIA, S.C.- Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul’s supporters raised over $6 million Sunday to boost the 10-term Texas congressman’s campaign for the White House.

Called a “Money Bomb,” the goal was to raise as much money as possible on the Internet in one day. The campaign’s previous fundraiser brought in $4.2 million.

At midnight EST, donations were over $6 million, according to the campaign Web site. Those donations are processed credit card receipts, said Paul campaign spokesman Jesse Benton. Benton said the median donation is about $50 in the fundraiser, which was the idea of Paul supporters who are not officially connected to the campaign.

    I call Bullshit……….!

    There might have been that much in “pledges”, but that’s are a far cry from real, hard cash, and I seriously doubt that even that much has been pledged.

    After all, RP and his feinds(er..I mean friends), are chronic liars to begin with.

    This smells like low tide at the Clinton Library….online donations for a guy who barely registers in the polls???

    Howard Dean was also a successful fund raiser, if I remember correctly.

  5. Kurt(the infidel)

    Bunch of whackos..him being considered a Republican is nothing more than a technicality. As for his supporters, giving Ron Paul money is like blowing air into a balloon with a hole in it, just wasting your breath

    The dems are probably giving him $ so he’ll run as a third party candidate. The people who vote for him are like Perot voters, and we know what Perot accomplished–got Bill Clinton elected with 43% of the popular vote.

    I haven’t seen such wasted dollars spent since the last Robert “they be a white {substitute the dreaded N word plural,}” Byrd pork barrel project.

    Ron Paul raises a lot of money, Ted Kennedy still gets re-elected time after time, the dems are overjoyed they’ve found their next Clinton, San Francisco loves Nancy Pelosi…..

    This is why the right to vote should be based on IQ instead of age.

    Hence the eternal appeal of pandering to fools; they’re so GENEROUS!
