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 didnt 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.
I think he is the most underestimated one running. I would love to seem him win in the primaries and show the media and party paid talking heads their days as our overlord are over.
Why do they spend so much time and energy embarrassing themselves with baseless insults and spreading disinformation?
Paul is both a Libertarian and a Republican, but I do not hold either of those affiliations against him.
That is as good an explanation as any. Now that they can not deny the public interest in his campaign, they are trying to portray a mass interest in defaming him. Their methods of employment, however, end up defaming the credibility of Paul's detractors.
I think he was underestimated by many, but now that interest is growing he is becoming a target of smear or disinformation.
Let’s see...the Republican party was in control of Congress for how long? How long in the White House?? We still have abortion, wide open borders, wide open deficits...yeah, I’d say they’ve been real effective (doing nothing!)
Now the Republican party is getting B slapped around and wants to blame everyone but themselves for it. Great! Keep it up. Wise up, we’re conservatives first! Unlike democrats who will vote for any dog turd labeled “democrat”—we’ll vote for the Republic, thank you very much.
Disinformation won't work on those who make the effort to see for themselves where a person stands. Ron Paul has the most conservative record of anyone running.
I generally agree, although the degree of needed effort varies from issue to issue.
“I havent given the RNC a red penny for nearly a year, but I would consider donating to Pauls cause.”
Just send the money to me. It won’t help Ron Paul get elected. But then, sending money to Ron Paul won’t help him get elected either.
I think Ron Paul is Alex Jones’ monkey boy. He is even a guest on his show!
Yup, Ron Paul is suported by conspiracy kooks and Milita Movement members....
