So Correct.

also

According to official campaign fund raising filings posted at http://www.opensecrets.org, Ron Paul’s top contributor is well known internet giant Google. Google, with Al Gore on the board of directors, has a long history of progressive political activism, both in the way they censor search results to bury conservative slanted stories, and in their campaign contribution habits, which is solidly Democrat, with the exception of Ron Paul

I wonder if that is the mystery billionaire that is supposed to ride in on his white horse and donate $35million dollars (to only grassroots activities of course, wouldn’t want to break finance laws..)

Where do you go on OpenSecrets.org for a donor breakdown to see that Google is Paul’s main contributor?

Funny, I'm glad you brought that up...

Please note that These are contributions from employees of Google Inc. and not necessarily the "company" itself.

Now if you will please note here are the top 6 contributors to the RP campaign:

1) Google Inc $22,250
2) US Army $21,018
3) US Navy $14,105

4) Microsoft Corp $12,863
5) Huffines Communities $11,850
6) US Air Force $10,950

So it seems that although Google is the "Top" contributor... to the RP campaign, w/ $22,250, it could be argued that the true "Top" contributor is the US Miliary w/ $46,073.

Of course I am using the same source OpenSecrets.org - RON PAUL (R) Top Contributors
