On Nov. 5, supporters of Ron Paul raked in more than $4.2 million in donations in 24 hours, mostly of them collected over the Internet.
Today, they're at it again. Hoping to detonate what they call a "money bomb," the supporters started fundraising at midnight Saturday and have already raised $2 million as of about 10:30 a.m. today, more than at this point on Nov. 5, according to figures they posted online. They hope to collect a total of $10 million by midnight Sunday.
Last time, they tied their fundraising to Guy Fawkes Day, which commemorates a British mercenary who tried unsuccesfully to kill King James I on Nov. 5, 1605. This time, they're seizing on the 234th aniversary of the Boston Tea Party and converging on this snowy city to rally.
They plan on gathering on the State House steps at 1 p.m. and parading down to Faneuil Hall, where they will listen to speeches in tune with Paul's libertarian platform. Speakers will include the Republican presidential candidate's son, Dr. Rand Paul, an eye surgeon, and Carla Howell, the libertarian who ran unsuccesfully for governor in 2002.
There are also plans to dump some tea (or at least some boxes labeled tea) into the Harbor, though the details were still sketchy as of this morning.

It’s people like you who IGNORE the FACTS about that senile retard you support.
“but they know how to bring in the cash.”
In other words it was a silly little gimmick.
“I dont think Ron has anything to do with. Its all grass roots and volunteers.”
And silly little gimmicks with all those promises that he’ll never in a million years be able to keep.
And apparently, the brainwashed fool goosesteps to the village idiot’s BS.
And since you can’t see beyond the tip of your nose, I don’t expect you to see the facts in the historical comparison.
For one thing it’s BS.
I don’t trust anything posted on Wiki since any slack jawed yokel can edit the page to suit their needs.
Second, the claim of military support has already been debunked time and time again.
Awww can’t back up your claim?
Can’t defend your foolish position?
No wonder why you support paul.
Awww he's back to throw a temper tantrum. With cursing to boot. I realize this comes as a shock to the 'faithful' but there are a lot of us that can think for ourselves and get out to do it because no one else will. It's called initiative. From your rantings it's clear you probably haven't heard of it I'd imagine....
IF and that’s a huge IF “conservatives” were as “pissed off” as you claim, then your little village idiot would be polling at 90% or better. The problem is is that a vast majority of the village idiot’s support are not “conservatives” because they are cross overs from the hillary camp who have ZERO intention of voting for that senile hick in the general election IF he gets nominated.
LOL, look at the numbers voting over the past generation. What? Less and less people are voting every cycle. Wonder why that is? Oh that's right, they're so satisfied with the choices they just let fewer and fewer people vote for them....(that's sarcasm if you didn't catch it, I just feel I have to actually type the stage directions else you might miss the obvious)
From a friend of mine: “ron paul is a charlatan... a snake oil salesman with an American flag label on the “cure-all” bottles with “We the People” scrawled across them. Every time I see him speak, I’m waiting for Josey Wales to walk up to his podium and spit tobacco juice on his lapel.”
A) get better friends
B) present an argument refuting his points
C) learn to think for yourself
I’d show you where your heerow has lied to you and your fellow sheeple, but I would be wasting my time since your blinders prevent you from seeing the truth
Gee I can't tell you how much I'll miss your 'insight'...
Maybe the moderator has shown us mercy. Either that or this guy’s mommy made him come inside for dinner.
Oh, he’s plaguing another RP thread. I was sorta hoping he was back on his medications.
As for the military support, if you know where I can find this thorough debunking you speak of, I would love to look at it. Here are a couple of the sources cited for the military support claim in the wikipedia article.

Please show me the debunking.
Oh, and I thought you might enjoy this as well

You sound so mature for your age. I didn’t know they let 13-year-old boys into the US army.
“but there are a lot of us that can think for ourselves and get out to do it because no one else will. It’s called initiative.”
Then explain the group think of your ilk.
“I just feel I have to actually type the stage directions else you might miss the obvious)”
Sorry, but somehow you assume that I’m a paul supporter
“A) get better friends
B) present an argument refuting his points
C) learn to think for yourself”
A.) At least my friends are not a bunch of knee knocking Blue Falcon cowards.
B.) Arguments refuting his points have already been made, but it isn’t my fault that 1.) It’s beyond your comprehension and 2.) That people like you close your eyes, stick your fingers in your ears and scream LA LA LA LA just so you don’t have to accept the cold hard truth about your false idol and reality in general.
C.) I do think for myself. THAT is the reason why I can see through the rosy colored sunshine BS that your heerow spews.
“Gee I can’t tell you how much I’ll miss your ‘insight’...”
You can’t miss what you already ignore (see #B-2 above).
It’s been debunked numerous times on here and elsewhere.
You’re a grown up, so I suggest you find it yourself.
And I don’t know why they allow mentally challenged people like you to vote.
mmm, good answer. Quite helpful. I will attempt to do so, despite your being an unhelpful ass.
“despite your being an unhelpful ass.”
What you want welfare?
“I’m waiting for Josey Wales to walk up to his podium and spit tobacco juice on his lapel.”
The only problem is that Josey Wales would support Ron Paul. If you understood the movie it was big oppressive government that Wales was against.
“In other words it was a silly little gimmick.”
I don’t know if it was little, but it was a gimmick.
“The only problem is that Josey Wales would support Ron Paul. If you understood the movie it was big oppressive government that Wales was against.”
I understood the movie quite well.
And I stand by my friend’s statement that ron paul IS a snake oil salesman with all his slick packaging, and silly gimmicks.
