Whoa. Ron Paul Raises a Fortune in One Day

Paul is worse than a nut (4.00 / 1)

He's an apologist for cross burning. This would explain why he's a darling of the KKK and the Minutemen.

David and Sara have been all over this one.

Is this the best the KoS Attack whimper can do ?

Paul voted against the war and Patriot Act.

Did Hillary ?

Accepting the legitimacy of government force for your conception of the polity is to be admonished.

Recycled, Willful Ignorance (0.00 / 0)

Yeah, who cares if he's a racist fuck! He hates the war!

Sorry, I had to wait for my marching orders from my Orange Overlord before posting this morning. I'm sure you understand how these things go.

Orcinus has done extensive coverage of Paul. You're way off base on this one, ESun67, if that really is your name.

Fiat Currencies Collapse (0.00 / 0)

Dr. Paul's position on the gold standard is very sound. Continuation of this type of credit expanding currency has always failed. It creates apologetics for a very unsound Keynesian approach. You should do more research.

Aye, he's a nut... (0.00 / 0)

but he'd make for an amusing Indy candidate in the general.  Plus, he'd pull more votes from the Repubs than from the Dems (with the possible exception of the anti-war votes).

here's my dream scenario (4.00 / 1)

ron paul does well in NH, let's say top three, not that far fetched a possibility in the "live free or die state". rudy immediately goes after him and says something nasty in public about ron paul. a million or two very, very pissed off, very, very net savvy online libertarians the proceed to tear him to shreds.

now that would be something to see.

Daily Kos (0.00 / 0)

I have to inject a little cynicism here... tons of politicians "post regularly" at Daily Kos.  (Or, their assistants do, under their names)

They don't ever participate in actual conversations there, though, which basically makes their posts on Daily Kos nothing more than e-press releases.  Big whoop.

Not necessarily true... (0.00 / 0)

Off the top of my head I know that John and Elizabeth Edwards, Sen. Chris Dodd, and Rep. Louise Slaughter have participated in actual discussions at Daily Kos.

So have several serious candidates, including future Reps. Eric Massa and Brad Miller.

I'm also fairly certain some other senators have stuck around as well, but I can't remember exactly who or when (I think Sens. Kerry and Kennedy have made extended appearances).

But that's besides the point; what's a Ron Paul supporter doing there, anyway?
