RON PAUL WINS ANOTHER ROUND [so says a commie at The Nation]

***The reason why GOP contributions are lagging behind Democrats is because most Republicans are still undecided***

Perhaps that applies in the Presidential primaries, but what about the Congressional races. The GOP is in poverty in regards to the Congressional races. I suspect a big portion of GOP contributors are fed up with the party over a variety of issues - Govt Spending, corruption, and border security. As a result, we have a demoralized base not willing to fight against the Dems.

If she doesn’t even know what NORAD’s duties are yet has the gall to criticize them, what is the point wasting time with her. Probably a typical HSW trying to split our side and pump nutty conspiracies.

[nsmart]

“’m guessing the “n” stands for “not”.” get some new material.

[mnehring]

Sending in our entire military and dropping bunker busters and shock and awe (a form of terrorism, in my opinion)

Oh how nice.. our troops are the real terrorists. Typical.

[counterpunch]

You have to say that a lot, don’t you?

[trisham]

LOL! I’m here all week. Don’t forget to tip the waiter, and try the veal!

[counterpunch]

Why don’t you try “I know you are but what am I” next time instead?

The post you were referring to was the $4.2 mil one-day fundraising blitz to the Paul campaign, not this blimp business. You was wrong, dahling.

[counterpunch]

Was the $4.2 million day September 11th, or Guy Fawkes day?
Everyone knows who donates to Ron Paul, and why.

[McGruff]

Bringing our troops home, especially the ones on their 3rd or 4th tour in Iraq,

Why did you say just Iraq. Most democrats say just Iraq.

McCain: ...And I want to tell you something, sir. I just finished having Thanksgiving with the troops, and their message to you is -- the message of these brave men and women who are serving over there is, "Let us win. Let us...

Would you force them to come home?

[jmc813]

Was the $4.2 million day September 11th, or Guy Fawkes day?

I don't quite remember.

[Allegra]

Bringing our troops home, especially the ones on their 3rd or 4th tour in Iraq, cannot be linked with any other term than COMPASSION!

Good grief, that sounds like it came straight off of DU.

FYI, the majority of the troops would like to finish the mission and don't appreciate those with leftist views back home trying to speak for them. These folks over here are not quitters or cut-and-runners, despite whatever garbage the media back home may be spoonfeeding those who will take it.

Ask anyone. Its one of his primary support groups. And the donations are showing it.

Once again, that has been repeatedly debunked for the horsecrap that it is. You Paulies keep saying it, hoping that we can be cult-programmed, but we're more well-adjusted than that. The Military-Supporting-Ron-Paul-Myth is just that. A myth that the Paulies keep parroting, hoping they'll find someone gullible enough to buy into it. And I've asked "anyone." I work with the military, enlisted and officers alike. I have for a few years and have known many rotations. They do NOT support Ron Paul or any other cut-and-run surrender-monkey coward.

[wideawake]

What was the purpose of shock and awe?

To demonstrate to the regime that they could not hope to defeat our troops in the field.

And which soldiers did I call terrorists?

The soldiers who took part in our Iraq operations, obviously. Our armor and our JDAMs did not deploy themselves.

The US broadcast to the Iraqi people on every available radio frequency and TV frequency that the bombardment was targeting solely the regime and not civilian targets.

And that is precisely what happened.

The people who are heartless are filth like yourself who call the troops that defend you "terrorists" and who criticize those for freeing the people of Iraq from a vicious dictator.

[Allegra]

Sending in our entire military and dropping bunker busters and shock and awe (a form of terrorism, in my opinion)

Damn. I didn't see that earlier. Thanks for catching that, wideawake.

THAT is a reprehensible statement. Disgraceful.

[mnehring]

Do you expect anything less from the Paul camp. They don’t think it is right to criticize the neo-nazi stormfronters who donate to Paul or the Troofers he seems to court- after all, they all have the right to support who they want- but mention our troops and they are quick to accuse them of being terrorists.

That is one bass-ackward campaign.

[wideawake]

FYI, the majority of the troops would like to finish the mission and don't appreciate those with leftist views back home trying to speak for them.

I'll quote one soldier who I've known for years and who is currently serving his third tour in Iraq:

"To listen to these jokers you'd think we were all faggots, whining about running home to mommy."

[counterpunch]

It was Guy Fawkes Day.
Representative Ron Paul may remember Fawkes as a wildly successful fund-raising gimmick
We know what kind of people gave to Ron Paul on that day and why.
 

[jmc813]

It was Guy Fawkes Day.

Why'd you ask if you knew the answer?

[Allegra]

You was wrong, dahling.

Perhaps I was, but I'm just not as obsessed with Ron Paul as his cultists are. It doesn't make him any less inconsequential.

And you "was" smarmy.

[jmc813]

And you "was" smarmy.

Smarm from highly intelligent people such as myself is an attractive thing. Not that I need help in that area.
