I have to wonder if some rich Democrats are donating money to him to prop him up in hopes of damaging the eventual Republican nominee. This is the type of thing Soros and friends would do. I have no evidence of this, just a feeling.

My thought exactly ... Clintondollars.

It’s possible, but I have to tell you that I am seeing more and more Ron Paul signs in yards and bumper stickers here in the small town I live in. They are in nice yards, in nice middle-class neighborhoods - some of them I recognize as having had John Kerry signs in them during the last election.

Is it possible that Ron Paul is striking a chord with a lot of people that are just sick and tired of the status quo? I realize he has a lot of the loonbat support, but the houses I see that bear his signs are not those of drugged out hippies or skateboard dudes.

There’s something going on, it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

“Amazing! I have to admit being floored by the $4.2 million dollars you
raised yesterday for this campaign. And unlike the fatcat operations
of the opposition, the average contribution from our 36,672 donors was
$103.”

Snip from a letter from RP to his donors. Notice the 103.00 average. Far from the amount of donations Clintons get from ordinary dishwashers and busboys in china town.

Soros spent his money in 2004 via his non-profits, mostly headed by MoveOns and other old hard Left operatives who funneled the money to Dim candidates. We've had no real word this year (that I've seen) on whether Soros is continuing this operation. We have not yet found any of these organizations or their staffs on the donor list but feel free to investigate, by all means. Also remember that Theresa Kerrey was using the Heinz fortune to funnel money this same way. And we know about the Xlintons and Hsu and Gore and his monks. However, there are no indications of this in the Paul campaign.

Prior to Guy Fawkes, the campaign did an analysis because some folks were worried that too many were maxxed out at $2300 already. The campaign reported that fewer than 3% of the donors had reached or neared that donation level.

The moneybomb two days ago was from ~38,000 people, most pledged to donate $100 or more. 18,000 of them signed up to pledge to donate but, given how conservative many RP supporters are, far more refused to sign up for the pledge because they did not wish to register and give out their email addresses.

The average donation by those 38,000 was $103, as I recall.

No, there is no evidence of Soros or other sly contributors. And you can routinely read the Code Pinko and MoveOn leaders warning their members not to support Ron Paul, not to donate, not even to vote for him in online polls. You should realize that the MoveOns and Code Pinkos would actually cause considerable problems for themselves as an ongoing organization if they were caught donating to Ron Paul. It wouldn't hurt him at all. But it would hurt them within the Dim party structure. Their job is control and focus or Judas-goat their followers to supporting Democrats. Never a Republican. Especially not a constitutional Republican.

The accusation simply holds no water. There is no evidence, the numbers don't indicate it, the list of maxxed-out donors doesn't indicate it, the actions and statements you see at DailyKos or HufPost don't indicate it...well, I can't prove a negative. But at some point, you should look at the FEC reports for yourself and try to identify these Soros minions. Surely, we must have some threads that identify them and their organization from 2004. I would be interested to see it myself if you can find them.

Well since you have this 'feeling' could you tell me when George Soros is going to send me a check for my donation?

This is hilarious. The support is coming from the old Republican party, the party that helped elect Reagan. It's coming from them and their children. But the 'elite' in the party know so much better don't they? Let them continue to discount Dr. Paul's support. Going to be quite lonely sitting in RNC headquarters Election Night watching President elect Hillary's acceptance speech because you wouldn't listen though...

Soros and Paul are opposites; power to the state vs power to the people.

I have to wonder if some rich Democrats are donating money to him to prop him up in hopes of damaging the eventual Republican nominee.

If that is the case, than derailing Paul would be real easy for you. Just calmly explain to his supporters that he will not give them largesse from the public treasury. If they are all leftists, they will run screaming in horror.

If the eventual Republican nominee is a true believer in limited government, than he has nothing to fear from Ron Paul as a third party candidate.

All of Dr. Paul's money is from individual donors.

This is the type of thing Soros and friends would do.

No, it's the type of thing individuals sick and tired of status-quo politics would do.

I have no evidence of this, just a feeling.

Typical, no facts just posting whatever comes into your mind.

[Ohioan]

As one who just coughed up $200 for the Paul campaign, after being notified of the fund drive by several lifelong Republican friends, I can assure you that the contributions were primarily from Conservative Republicans--although our candidate also appeals to a lot of independents.

You need to take a deep breath. The Leftists such as Soros hardly want a media campaign pointing out the benefits of limited Government, and a return to traditional American values. While the "Liberal" branch of the Republican party will certainly not be happy with the Paul message; the Leftist branch of the Democratic party will like it even less.

Nope...it's really very simple. Millions of seniors enjoyed online poker tournaments. That liberty was taken from them by Theocons. They are contributing to Ron Paul. The same is true for medical marijuana. Those issues get no press coverage but they will determine who wins the election.
