Ron Paul Nearly Doubles Donations Since Butting Heads with Rudy Giuliani
onroe, 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.”
Paul went on to say “Republicans were elected to end the Korean War. The Republicans were elected to end the Vietnam War. There’s a strong tradition of being anti-war in the Republican Party. It is the constitutional position. It is the advice of the Founders to follow a non -interventionist foreign policy, stay out of entangling alliances, be friends with countries, negotiate and talk with them and trade with them.”
It appeared as if Paul was getting himself into trouble when he was asked if he thought the U.S. invited the 9/11 attacks. After Paul responded “They don’t come here to attack us because we’re rich and we’re free. They come and they attack us because we’re over there” Giuliani pounced on the Texan saying “That’s really an extraordinary statement. That’s an extraordinary statement, as someone who lived through the attack of September 11, that we invited the attack because we were attacking Iraq. I don’t think I’ve heard that before, and I’ve heard some pretty absurd explanations for September 11th.”
Giuliani then said “I would ask the congressman to withdraw that comment and tell us that he didn’t really mean that.” That didn’t happen. Instead, since the debate, Brown has urged Giuliani to read books about America’s foreign policy and encouraged him to read the 9/11 Report from which his information used in the debate was pulled from.
While Giuliani appeared to get the instant response during the debate, Paul’s campaign has benefited tremendously from the argument. Not only has Paul’s campaign contributions nearly doubled but he has set himself up as the only true Republican on the ticket and earned widespread media coverage as well.
The general feeling in the Ron Paul camp is that if in fact he lost the debate with Giuliani then they hope he losses more often because its brining in the contributions and keeping his name at the forefront of the 2008 presidential race.
Someone on another thread said Ron Paul was a former communist when he was in college. That really concerns me.
“Someone on another thread said . . .” I guess that settles it!
There have been rumours about the release of 22K rpm hard drives for several years already and some labs even possess prototypes, 15000 rpm hard drives are still fairly considered top models in this industry. That's why they are in demand — equipping such drives with the highest performance mechanics and interfaces, developing perfect firmware, and making the most reliable hard drives, manufacturers are right to consider that these drives will be their business cards. That is customers will be able to judge about the technological level and potential performance of other hard drives from a given manufacturer. That's why the competition in the 15K rpm sector is in focus. As manufacturers have recently updated the lines of 15K rpm models, we decided to have a look at the new models — not just as another generation of hard drives, but as the perfect representatives of each manufacturer. In this article we'll set two most famous 15K rpm representatives at loggerheads — Maxtor Atlas 15K and Seagate Cheetah 15K. This time it will be the second and the fourth generation correspondingly.

Goodness.
He said that AFTER THE FACT!
Realizing the sh**storm he found himself in, I (and most everyone else) would have done the same thing.
What he said supported the fact, too.
The problem was that Giuliani admitted his ignorance, and he interrupted Paul to do it.
Are you a citizen?
OK fine.
We’ll leave it at that.
But as you head home tonight, don’t forget to put on your tin-foil hat and make sure that there aren’t any black helicopters hovering in the near distance.
I do not have any tin-foil hats.
He has opposed aid to Israel in the past, which is entirely consistent with his Constitutionally-derived desire to avoid foreign entanglements. Those who read anti-semitism into how Rep. Paul has voted are clearly wanting to smear the man, and do not understand the concept of original intent, not the foggiest idea. I'm in favor of aid to Israel, personally. I do, however, completely understand where Ron Paul is coming from on this, and it's not due to any form of animus toward Jews and/or Israelis.
Somebody's just confusing their former Libertarian presidential candidates, imho. Harry Browne was once a communist. So was Ronald Reagan, for that matter, so I don't see how this is pertinent, given Ron Paul's long and utterly consistent record of voting as a strict constructionist. I have never heard that Ron Paul was ever a communist, myself.

Pete, did someone hack into your account? Why the SPAM?

Of course not. Goodness.
To this
yea, why?
