It's about time the Ron Paul campaign spotlights the broad military support he has to combat the neo-con interventionist war boosters.

LOL, Allegra, just as you mention it, they trounce out that number, even though they were embarrassed to learn some kids put their band USAF down as an employer, only a couple had APO/AE addresses, and weren’t listed as military members on military.com.

They probably stick their fingers in their ears when they see polls like this:

Wow. You almost got all of them in one sentence. I've noticed the favorite insults Paulies use against those of us who have the good sense not to support Ron Paul.

They are "neocon," "warmonger," "statist" and "big government supporter." You got two out of four, but the impressive thing is that you did it in one sentence.

You guys really need to get some new material. And some new myths. This one's been around so long, it has grey whiskers on it.

“Constitutional conservatives have so little in common with freerepublic. It took 15 posts before a freeper acknowledged Ron Paul actually follows the constitution. I remember when freerepublic was a conservative forum...of course, that was before Jim Robinson embraced undeclared pre-emptive wars.”

Whats funny is that I personally know military people who have donated to Thompson yet his reads 0. Hmmmmm
I also know that for these guys Ron Paul is last on their list.
Very interesting spin.

[donnab]

Oh wait I see why no numbers for Thompson...this was from an old quarterly report and the Thompson listed is actually Tommy Thompson. lets see updated listings...

Hellooooo! How about those photographs, huh?

Cindy "It's the Joos" Sheehan ... 9/11 Truthers ... demonstrating outside Walter Reed.

You guys have so much to be proud of... but, nary a comment. You should be ashamed and embarrassed, but somehow I doubt it.

RON PAUL:	24,965	6,975	6,765	4,650	5,075	1,500
McCain:	17,475	6925	6305	1795	800	1600

Huckabee:	750	250	0	500
Tancredo:	350	350	0	0
Brownback:	71	71	0	0
Thompson:	0	0	0	0

Units are contributions in dollars by employees of the respective military organizations.

I have to say, "WOW!". Eight figure campaign receipts for most of the candidates and we're suppose to get excited about military contributions to Ron Paul because he leads with just shy of $25K?!

"...to combat the neo-con interventionist war boosters."

That typifies the suicidal stance of Paultards.

Fear your fellow American or Government more than an enemy you fail to recognize.
