Ron Paul said today his presidential campaign raised nearly $20 million in the last three months of 2007 from 130,000 donors.

Ron Paul brought in nearly $5.3 million that quarter.

Paul's campaign said that more than 107,000 donors were new and the average donation was about $90. More than half of the total came from two 24-hour online fund-raising events organized by supporters -- one on Nov. 5, and the second centered in Boston on Dec. 16.

I love how the 2005 McCain n00b is trying to dictate FR policy.

You sure you want to add Aaron Zelman to the list of recommendations for Paul?

Its sad that a disagreement over policy makes someone a “traitor”. Disgusting attitude. If you really listened to the man, he backs his points up with logic and reason. You might not agree with all of his conclusions, but calling someone a traitor simply because he disagrees with you is repulsive.

Im glad that you rule your family with such an iron fist. Must be a heartwarming scene.

It’s simple: Paul is not a real Republican and his supporters are a bunch of moonbats so it’s perfectly logical that they should not be welcome around here. What next, shall we invite the DUmmies over just to be more inclusive?

the question is, how does Stormfront leader Jamie Kelso have such close access to the Paul campaign? How can he get into areas even the press can’t?

Huh? Have you watched any of the Ron Paul rallies on youtube.com? In a lot of them, Paul is out mingling with his supporters. He doesn't have handlers like Hillary, Obama & Edwards.

Now, how do you think that particular photo came about. Here are the 2 logical choices:

A) "Hey Dr Ron Paul, I'm Jamie Kelso, a white supremacist! Can I get a prominent photo taken with you?"

or

B) "Hey Dr Ron Paul, got a second for a pic?"

...your point is?

My point is that if Peden has been raising all this money y'all keep claiming, why can't they get a website on something other than "campaignsitebuilder.com"? Busch-league.

And you're right, it will play out.

Yeah, it'll "play out" like all of the other smears against Paul.

Just another asinine, pathetic comment.

How so?

If you had any understanding of the polls, that they are not polling the disgruntled Republicans, independents, libertarians, and Democrats crossing over to Paul, you'd know that the "low in the polls" is just BS

He may be pulling up to 5% overall but that is not from pro America Republicans, that is from anti-American democrats.

So people who oppose a war that's going on six years now and should have been finished within 2 are blame Americans now.

No, but people who blame America for the attack on us on 9/11 are, and that is what cut and run and his followers are saying. Cut and run is more anti-American than any democrat running, other than Dennis Kucinich, and even that is questionable.

You are a Freedom Crusader, also known as a neoconservative.

You seem too conservative domestically to be a neo-con.

People accusing Ron Paul of hating America, loving the terrorists, having a crappy foreign policy, etc, really don't understand or haven't read the US Constitution as practically everything Paul stands for or promotes is in line with the US Constitution.

This place really has become a lot like DU -- people throwing around baseless accusations and name calling.

Who is saying he is raising a lot of money, what is is getting is a lot of attention in his district. Even at that, seems that is a fiscially responsible thing to use a good priced service that offers a quality product. Heck, Paul’s official presidential campaign site appears to be an off the shelf template by some small firm like Terra Eclipse.. oops, it is..

If you really listened to the man, he backs his points up with logic and reason.

please endeavor to explain the logic and reason behind these comments, remembering that several states had seceded prior to Lincoln's inauguration.

REP. PAUL: Six hundred thousand Americans died in a senseless civil war. No, he shouldn't have gone, gone to war. He did this just to enhance and get rid of the original intent of the republic. I mean, it was the--that iron, iron fist.. Slavery was phased out in every other country of the world. And the way I'm advising that it should have been done is do like the British empire did. You, you buy the slaves and release them. How much would that cost compared to killing 600,000 Americans and where it lingered for 100 years? I mean, the hatred and all that existed. So every other major country in the world got rid of slavery without a civil war. I mean, that doesn't sound too radical to me. That sounds like a pretty reasonable approach.

it’s easy to interpret his comments, however: he thinks Lincoln was a war criminal and hates him

Actually, domestically with some exceptions, I lean libertarian. I fall into the objectivist libertarian mold of Rand versus the Birch libertarian mold of Paul.

Then you vote for him, I won’t.

I'll be glad to. A Republican candidate that openly talks about abolishing the IRS, limiting government, and getting us out of the UN is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If the Republican Party would have taken up some of Paul's issues, Paul wouldn't be running and the GOP would be a lock to win the WH and would have kept control of Congress.
