McCain told Ron Paul the troops said "Let us win" and Ron Paul responded by informing him that he (Ron) leads in donations by members of the Military.
;D ;D ;D

oops!!! That was one hell of a open mouth insert foot moment :)
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA— The Houston Chronicle is reporting that Republican presidential contender Ron Paul has received more campaign contributions from current and past military personnel than any other candidate. The Chronicle’s financial record analysis indicates that the Texan congressman has received $63,440 in donations from military affiliates in January through September. Following Paul is Democrat Barack Obama, who, like Dr. Paul, is critical of the war in Iraq, and has received $53,968 in military contributions.
Congressman Paul is no stranger to military support. Former president Ronald Reagan once said “Ron Paul is one of the outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and he always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our country!” Dr. Paul served as an Air Force flight surgeon in the 1960s, and one third of his military financial support comes from the Air Force. Another third of his military contributions come from the Army, and a quarter stem from the Navy; the rest come from the Marines and other military branches.
“Dr. Paul has the soundest position in the war in Iraq, and that is reflected in his overwhelming military support,” said Paul campaign spokesman Jesse Benton. “His military experience, patriotism, and sound analysis of the war resonate strongly with other military personnel who believe in his message of freedom, peace, and prosperity.”
The Houston Chronicle released their report this morning.

The disgusting part, is that all the replays I've seen in the media today only show McCain's attack and not Paul's response--fair as usual ::)

The RP revolution is now bigger than ROn Paul. No matter how he does, I bet we'll see ten RPs in 2012 running.
