Ron Paul Nearly Doubles Donations Since Butting Heads with Rudy Giuliani

Monroe, Ga. 5/31/2007 3:09 PM GMT (FINDITT)

The general feeling after the Republican Presidential debate held in South Carolina on May 15 was that Rudy Giuliani got the better of Texas Republican Ron Paul but according to Paul backers the congressman has seen his donations nearly double since challenging Giuliani on the U.S. involvement in Iraq.

During the debate Paul was asked whether a Republican could stay true to their party and support a measure to bring American troops home at the same time. In response Paul remarked “I think the party has lost its way, because the conservative wing of the Republican Party always advocated a non-interventionist foreign policy. Senator Robert Taft didn’t even want to be in NATO. George Bush won the election in the year 2000 campaigning on a humble foreign policy - no nation-building, no policing of the world.”

So, Paul went from $10 to $20 in the bank?

[Red Badger]

Dang it!......

[Clemenza]

Largely out of symphathy, as Rudy is such an arrogant a-shole, with nothing to show for it.

[Petronski]

Too embarrassed to post the actual numbers?

[WKUHilltopper]

Ron Paul and his focus on the Constitution has certainly gotten my attention. I haven’t given the RNC a red penny for nearly a year, but I would consider donating to Paul’s cause.

[wideawake]

Senator Robert Taft didn’t even want to be in NATO.

Senator Robert Taft also believed that it was wrong to put Goering and Goebbels on trial.

Senator Robert Taft was a nutball.

[Badeye]

Its telling there are no numbers cited in support of this questionable headline.

That said, its not hard to double the money when you don’t have much (comparatively) in the first place.

I suspect thats why this article is intentionally ‘numberless’.

[CJ Wolf]

He’d probably give you back what he doesn’t spend too.

[Spirochete]

I haven’t given the RNC a red penny for nearly a year, but I would consider donating to Paul’s cause.

Then donate directly to his campaign, don't give it the RNC.

[Irontank]

From a Fox News story in the middle of May:

Paul, the 71-year-old obstetrician representing parts of Galveston and the Texas Gulf Coast, finished second among GOP candidates in money raised in New Hampshire and Montana in the first quarter of 2007. He also raised the most money of the second-tier candidates in 14 other states, including Florida and Texas, taking in $640,000 nationwide.

Those are almost all individuals donating...Congressman Paul always votes against the use of taxpayer money to buy votes...so he gets little from special interest groups

[joeu]

Yes, following the Constitution is the zinger. Bush and company apparently could care less especially when comes to illegal immigration.

Standard Republican (Bush) policies are turning the US into the world’s beggar.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

So he has 2 donors, instead of 1?

[X-Ecutioner]

Run Ron!! May the Father through Jesus bless you!!

[cotton1706]

“Senator Robert Taft also believed that it was wrong to put Goering and Goebbels on trial.

Senator Robert Taft was a nutball.”

Senator Taft didn’t like the idea of a world court. It’s still a silly idea. The people of Germany could have tried them, not the “world community” and the “crimes against humanity” crowd.

[Sybeck1]

What has Paul said about Teddy Roosevelt’s “Big Stick” policy?

[elizabetty]

If people are looking for places to waste their money they can send some to me.

Granted, I am not nearly as insane as Ron Paul but I have no business being President either.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

When are you Paul fans going to give it up?

[CPT Clay]

Maybe even 1000 to 2000 but small compared to the 100 million needed for this race.

[wideawake]

Senator Taft didn’t like the idea of a world court.

No, Senator Taft claimed that the Nazis were being "unfairly" tried by "ex post facto statutes" - as if the illegality of mass murder was some newfangled legal invention.

The people of Germany could have tried them

Germany did not regain legal sovereignty until May 1955.

Should the victims of these slime have been forced to wait 10 years for justice, only to have these murderers tried under a constitution that banned capital punishment?

Taft was a sickeningly obtuse moron - a fitting subject for a book "written" by JFK.

[Retired Greyhound]

Rat Money

[true_blue_texican]

You beat me to it!!!!

[lonestar67]

I would think radical terrorists would appreciate his efforts toward “understanding” and dramatically increase their giving.

[Sleeping Beauty]

I know of some very wealthy and influential people (including former congress critters) who are backing Paul. They are old-school conservatives — hardcore.

[wideawake]

You advertise yourself as an Alex Jones fan.

Do you share Alex Jones' belief that the terror attacks on 9/11 were the work of the federal government?

You speak in very religious tones - what was your take on Alex Jones' lengthy interview with HUSTLER Magazine?

[mnehrling]

Probably gold investors as one of his big economic stances is going back to the gold standard.. (which, IMHO, would be disastrous for everyone but those already staged with large gold investments.)

[pcottraux]

That comment is outrageous!

It’s got to be at least $30 by now!

[wideawake]

When are you Paul fans going to give it up?

They will give it up at the point the Buchanan deadenders gave it up - by dying of aneurysms as they struggle to escape their straitjackets.

[mnehrling]

Alex Jones?? Isn’t that the same guy that believes in the ‘global Jewish banking conspiracy’ and the secret trilateral commission that really runs the UN? That guy makes David Icke look halfway sane.

[mnehrling]

You are right.. I forgot to account for what his mom gave him.

[wideawake]

Yes, following the Constitution is the zinger. Bush and company apparently could care less especially when comes to illegal immigration.

What does the Constitution say about the distinction between legal and illegal immigration?

[ex-snook]

Somebody should sponsor a one-on-one pay-per-view debate between Ron Paul and the arrogant, ignorant, liberal, abortion and gay loving, cross-dressing, Kerik appointing, blowhard Rudolph. Winner take all.

[mnehrling]

Ouch.. I just checked.. Alex Jones was the guy I was thinking of..

http://www.infowars.com/resources.html

This is the conspiracy theorist of InfoWars and Prison Planet fame.. why am I not surprised that Ron Paulites also connect with him...

BTW, how is the construction of the Wal Mart detention centers coming?

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Okay, so, should we should put you down as undecided?

[Shazolene]

Folks, we are being spammed.
WE are experiencing part of the Dog Paul* Internet Drive.
This is getting ridiculous.
How many Dog Paul* stories can we see per day here?
Why does JimRob block Rudy supporters but not Dog Paul* ones - who could do a lot more damage in 2008?
I say let him be honest - run as a Libertarian - he is NOT a Republican!

(*because on the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog...)

[wideawake]

Alex Jones?? Isn’t that the same guy that believes in the ‘global Jewish banking conspiracy’ and the secret trilateral commission that really runs the UN? That guy makes David Icke look halfway sane.

Yes, this is the same Alex Jones.

David Icke, who believes that George W. Bush is a reptilian humanoid from another planet and that The Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion are fact, is a regular guest on Alex Jones' program.

Ron Paul has appeared as a guest on Jones' show. He received a warm welcome from Jones, they had a very amiable conversation, Jones invited him back, and Jones' audience had an overwhelmingly positive reaction to his interview.

[Sleeping Beauty]

Probably gold investors as one of his big economic stances is going back to the gold standard.

I received a "letter" yesterday from Ron Paul discussing monetary standards. Going back to gold is not even a remote possiblity. I'd post the letter, if you're interested. It's kinda long.

(BTW, I'm a Romney fan, followed by Fred, followed by whomever wins the Republican nomination.)

[mnehrling]

Maybe someone should ask Paul in the next debate if he believes that President Bush is a reptilian alien?

[wideawake]

Why would anyone want to pay money to watch a mental patient and a Democrat shout at each other?

[mnehrling]

Ping me when you do.

SNEAK PREVIEWS

JULY 2007

Coming soon: At third GOP presidential debate, Ron Paul goes on an 18 minute rant, during which time he declares the entire U.S. Consitution itself to be "unconstituional", demands the legalization of crack cocaine, and vows to lock all Americans who ever supported "unconsitutional wars". Ron Paul roundly booed by every Republican in audience and receives 0.0000000000000002% of the weighted vote in the straw poll by the Iowa GOP hosting the event.

(Shortly aftewards, an online "poll" shows 135% of votes nationwide support Paul for President).

[AmericanHunter]

When is Dr. Paul going to realize that American politics is nothing more than a TV show? Does he really believe anyone is still interested in the constitution or rule of law? What a freaking nutcase! He needs to go away so we can get back to business as usual.

[Huck]

Ron Paul is the Dennis Kucinich of the right.

[italianquaker]

19 dollars came from rosie

[West Coast Conservative]

Yes. He also believes that Bush and the Jews did 9/11.

[Sleeping Beauty]

Hmmm... I don’t think I will post it.

I sure don’t want to risk a ZOT over someone I don’t even support. That would add insult to injury.

[mnehrling]

Just word your intro carefully...

[X-Ecutioner]

I am pro-Jewish. I see them as my brothers and I reject David Icke. But 80% of Alex Jones is on point.

[billbears]

Ron Paul bump and yes the one line attacks with no basis are rampant. Guess it’s upsetting that Paul is the only one out of the lot that actually knows what the Constitution says and follows it to the letter.

[ConservativeDude]

Senator Robert Taft also believed that it was wrong to put Goering and Goebbels on trial.”

Actually, what he believed is that any precedent that sets up a court that could in theory be used against Americans is unconstitutional on its face. As a matter of constitutional principle, he was (and remains) very obviously right. He also believed that any sort of world court action including Nuremberg would do little to deter future conflicts. He was obviously right about that as well (though there were other reasons to prosecute, it’s just that one of the articulated ones was bogus). He also questioned whether a fair trial could be given to those prosecuted by the victors. That seems to be obviously, true, also. Why should we pretend that something which should essentially be a military action is a judicial one? We are just pretending, then, and that makes a mockery of our constitutional system. I think at the end of the day, Taft would have gladly supported summary execution in the field of Goering and Goebbels and others rather than putting them on trial.

That is hardly a nutball opinion.

Your name calling of a great conservative reveals who is the nutball. And it ain’t Senator Taft.
