I disagree with the significance of this; I don't think one can say necessarily jump to the conclusion that they are donating to paul because they are 'against the war'; I suspect it is because of his strict and tradtional view of the constitution, which they have sworn to uphold and Paul's views on freedom, liberty, and limited government. IMO

Self-identified, unverified military affiliations. The statistic proves nothing.

You just responded to yourself my man. It’s OK to talk to yourself and mumble stuff, as long as you don’t start arguing with yourself. Then it’s time to call the guys with white lab coats and nets. :-)

These weren’t military donations; they were donations from para-military Neo-Nazis < /S >

[traviskicks]

shoot, maybe you’re right, i gotta get to bed. lol

[Eric Blair 2084]

My completely unreliable sources tell me that C.C. Sabathia, Fausto Carmona and Travis Haffner are all big Paul contributors and supporters.

What do you think of them now?:-)

I can’t stop giggling uncontrollably at your new tagline.

A new quarterly report on military donations to candidates. Yeah, it's one of those threads again.

It appears our military shows how much it hates a candiate (like Dr. Paul) by showering him with money.

[Allegra]

This has been disproven time and time again. I've even seen on the Ron Paul forums where the faithful are instructed to fabricate their professions to skew the data.

No, I cannot find it now (very busy), but I imagine some of these guys can get links.

I do know that I work with several active military and interact with many more and not one of them supports Ron Paul in any way, shape or form.

Oh, and Houston is my hometown. I've read the Chronicle for years. They're not exactly the most objective or unbiased source of "news."

[WWTD]

I’m very impressed. A legitimate news story from a major American newspaper gets kicked to the RLC backroom, but individual FReepers who make up their own posts detailing all the reasons why they hate Ron Paul get to stay in News/Activism. The mods here are really starting to amuse me. So blinded by hatred and bigotry against Ron Paul that they are making a sham out of the site whose rules they are supposed to enforce. Nice going.

I am now just ignoring it. Facts is facts.

[traviskicks]

This was originally posted under ‘extended news’, ‘Foreign Affairs’ (armed forces news falls under there), and ‘Politics/Elections’, but it was removed from all of those, so I added it to RLC.

Perhaps this is why we are called ‘liars’ on other threads when we state Paul has rasied more money from the military than other candidates... :)

[383rr]

The money sent in wasn’t really money, it was really just spam by two hippie shrimp boat captains located in mom’s basement. Nothing to see here.

[traviskicks]

btw, Paul supporters are already running full page ads with this in NH papers, lol, you know the campaign is bottom up, not top down when it can make adjustments this quick. This will be in Sundays Union Leader:

I do not hate RP. It is a fantastic technique that RP and MR supporters use to say if you disagree with the candidate that you hate them. I do not even know RP.

I am sicken by his policy actions. I am disgusted by his continual alinement with the dems over the defense of the USA. I am angered by his anti-semitism.

I do not hate him. I do not believe his assertion or the assertion of his supporters that he gets more military donations than any other candidate. It just does not pass the smell test.

You really need to ping those you mention. Yes, even when you're insulting them.
