Ron Paul beats all candidates with most donations

[Bindare_Dundat]

from military personnel again.

Paul $ $36739.79
Obama - $28833.99
Total Candidates (minus Paul) - $44231.99

Paul does not beat total donations of all other candidates combined, however hes still comes in double the Republican's combined and #1 out of all candidates.

With Ron Paul in charge the military would be cut by a lot though

[Bindare_Dundat]

 

Go choke on some bee pollen you sad blob.

[Freeborn126]

Ron Paul is the only 2012 repub candidate that has actually seved in the military as well.  He would use the military for what it was meant for, defense of the nation.  Not ten year occupations and nation building.   

[whork25]

He gets my vote thats for sure

[Freeborn126]

“Our fighting men and women take an oath to protect America, defend our Constitution and defend our borders,” said Ron Paul 2012 Campaign Chairman, Jesse Benton. “They look at Ron Paul and see a leader who takes their oath seriously, and who will fight to ensure that we don’t misrepresent that oath by sending them off to police the world, instead of defending our country.”

[Dos Equis]

Just to put this in context, it looks like a total of 35 military donors for Ron Paul.

So if this is the case... Why does he never show up on polls... The media must actually hate this guy.

That might be reason enough to vote for him as is.

Probably because the fact 35 people donated to a political candidate isn't newsworthy.

Why is that not newsworthy? HE doubled the rest of the republicans combined... That sounds like news.

And how is it only 35 people? It does't show individuals... Just branches of military.

Looks like 35 to me.  Look at the link I posted.  But even if it's 350 people, that isn't newsworthy, because it's such an insignificantly small number of potential voters.

It doesn't look like 35 people to me... looks like branches of government and the amount each gave.

Sure, it's a small percentage of voters, but it's still newsworthy. Look at the other retarded news that is posted... Seems every bit as valid as any of the others... of course you like to be disagreeable, so you will of course, disagree.

Where on that page does it say that only 35 people have donated to Ron Paul?

They are referenced, yet differently... for instance "ARMY" isn't "US Army" nor is it "United States Army"

So perhaps they are broken down by how people put their branch of government in the form and duplicates were added together.

You don't know, but it doesn't say 35 people anywhere... So continue to be disagreeable.

Ron Paul ain't going anywhere in the presidential  election.  Why is he even relevant?

[Skip8282]

I'm guessing loyal internet followers.  Wouldn't surprise me in the least if he wins every single internet poll from now till election time..........and still have a piss poor caucas or primary showing.

Can you actually substantiate that claim?

He's certainly better than Obama-lite.

No doubt, if it's between those two, I'm voting RP. 

But, the regular polls never seem to match the internet polls.  It's difficult to even determine if a lot of voters know who he is or where he stands.

That's the problem. He destroys some polls (obliterated the TIME one, I believe) and then he's nowhere to be seen in others. I'm guessing the powers-that-be in the GOP are manipulating them. We'll have to wait until the primaries to see.

He wants to fix the economy, hates the UN, NATO and wants to stop sending billions to terrorist states and various other countries that hate us. Good enough for me.

Yea, also wants to make the federal reserve transparent - something I really support.

Definitely.

I'm not sold on everything with the guy but he's been the most honest about the economy to this point.
