Is this all propaganda too?
You are free to run your own numbers.
Care to give it a shot?
Not once have I tried to refute your argument that Paul is ahead of everyone else in fundraising. I have only been arguing that you should not lump civilian employees in as “U.S. Military.” It makes it sound as if you are trying to inflate his numbers by combining money that civilians donate to him with what servicemen and woman give to him.
If that was not your intent, I apologize.
If it was well....par for the course.
