Articles about Ron-Paul

If the momentum keeps going at the current rate he'll crack eighteen million for the quarter by midnight pacific standard time.From the Boston Globe: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.The WaPo confirms that this money bomb has met its goal and adds that he is the only candidate to

Over at RCP John Stossel has posted his most recent interview which is of Ron Paul. Here are a few highlights:What should government do? Ron Paul: Protect our freedoms. Have a strong national defense. Look at and take care of our borders. Have a sound currency. That was the responsibility of the federal government, not to run our lives and run everything in the economy and extend the interstate-commerce clause and the general-welfare clause to do anything they want to do. So defense, the military, police forces enforce contracts, and that's about it? That's it. We would have a court system to enforce contracts, and when people do harm to others, when they take property or injure property, or pollute a neighbor's air, I think there's a role for government to protect our environment through private-property rights. So keep us safe, enforce contracts, run the courts, pollution rules and otherwise butt out? Leave us alone? Basically that, which would mean if I'm elected,

Oh, Ron, most of your performance in last night's non-debate was not so bad. It does seem sometimes that the other guys smack you around too much with "arguments" that would fit on a bumper-sticker (e.g., John McClain's "let them win!").But then there was that question from Arlington, Texas [debate transcript]:I’ve met a lot of your supporters online, but I’ve noticed that a good number of them seem to buy into this conspiracy theory regarding the Council on Foreign Relations and some plan to make a North American Union by merging the United States with Canada and Mexico. These supporters of yours seem to think that you also believe in this theory.So my question to you is, do you really believe in all this, or are people just putting words in your mouth?I cringed and held my breath, wondering if you would take the bait or find some way to disarm this. You did the former, saying:Well, that all depends on what you mean by “all of this.” The CFR exists. The Trilateral Commission

Last night on the YouTube debate Mr. Paul gave the most concrete answer to date."I have no intention of running as an independent."There is one loophole in that statement though. Would he run as The Constitution Party's candidate?

Last night on CNN's YouTube debate Ron Paul answered the question, "Do you believe in a conspiracy to make a new (North American) union? While his answer wasn't as damning as Kucinich's UFO statements it certainly didn't help Paul out any.

This is a great clip from the debate last night. McCain is a doosh.

It's ok to want out of Iraq, but it's another thing to lie about it in order to get votes. He was properly smacked by McCain for his comments. To which Ron Paul supporters tried to boo McCain, but were drowned out with cheers

Sweet. Thats good news for him again. He really is making this race fun to watch. Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul's got a rabid following, plenty of buzz, surprising endorsements and fundraising records, but his poll numbers keep him in the second tier. Tucker Carlson, who has been following Paul for an article in the New Republic, describes Paul as being so

Ron Paul definitely has some fans over at DIGG.COM... Thats most definitely a good crowd to have. And they are obviously a more democratic crowd.

Congressmen & presidential hopefuls Dennis Kucinich (D) & Ron Paul (R) The Mavericks In a recent interview Elizabeth Kucinich acknowledged her husband, liberal Democratic presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich, would consider libertarian Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul as his running mate. For many a Kucinich vs. Paul presidential race would be a dream come true. Unfortunately, most voters do not delve deep enough into election politics and U.S. policy to give these maverick presidential campaigners a chance. However, with a whopping $5 million in donations freshly dumped into the Paul campaign coffers and an expected $12 million in the fourth quarter, it’s possible the two mavericks might team up as a third party ticket. http://garlinggauge.com/videos/paulkucinich.flv Elizabeth Kucinich at 2:36 in video. As a side note, the interviewer looks bored out of his mind with everyone except Mrs. Kucinich. Rep. Dennis Kucinich & Elizabeth Kucinich Elizabeth

Placing him in fourth place according to a CNN poll. Meanwhile Giuliani and McCain are within the margin of error for second place with Romney solidly in first. Ron Paul's ad blitz is having an effect and Thompson's lack of well anything resembling momentum, excitement, or organization have cost him dearly. I think McCain isn't as much gaining momentum as he is picking up Giuliani defectors as Giuliani has been making it very clear that he'll trade his values for votes. I'm betting after NH we'll see the GOP lineup pared down to the top four. Frankly I'm hoping McCain ends up beating Giuliani and Ron Paul does better than the poll estimates once all the votes are tallied in NH.

Rolling Stone has an interesting interview with Presidential candidate Ron Paul. Good read. What do you make of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and current U.S. posturing toward Iran? He’s a loudmouth, and he hurts their cause. But we help his cause when we gang up against him. When we pass sanctions against him, the dissidents in Iran who would like to get rid of him rally around him for nationalistic

Looks like Paul has broken the record for the most money raised in a day this campaign season...From The PoliticoRon Paul's 'money bomb' Proving again his ability to raise significant cash online, Ron Paul has raised nearly $2 million since midnight via his website.In what is being called a "money bomb," Paul's fervent backers spread the word that today they'd blast their candidate with Internet contributions, setting up a website, "This November 5th," to push the plan. An aide said they had nothing to do with the effort."Supporters have spontaneously organized what I can only refer to as a one-day attack of donations," said Paul spokeswoman Kate Rick. "We started at midnight with $2.77 million raised for the quarter, and have, as of 9:36 am, climbed up to over $4.1."As of 12:27, Paul had raised $4.73 million total....Right now as of 8:10 CST he's raised a total of 6.69 million dollars 3.93 million dollars today. and roughly four hours left. Odds are he'll at least cr

This is an ugly development. Some Ron Paul supporters apparently thought that upgrading from comment spam to actual spam was a good idea.From the University of Alabama at Birmingham UAB Spam Team Spots First Presidential Campaign SpamAnti-spam researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) noted a disturbing new trend following Sunday's Republican Candidates Presidential debate. One of the candidates has a new spam campaign dedicated to proclaiming him victorious in the debate and extolling his virtues as the future president.There is no reason to believe the current spam campaign is actually endorsed by Ron Paul or his official campaign engine, according to Gary Warner, UAB Director of Research in Computer Forensics....The new messages have headlines such as:Ron Paul Wins GOP Debate!Ron Paul Eliminates the IRS!Ron Paul Stops Iraq War!Vote Ron Paul 2008!Iraq Scam Exposed, Ron PaulGovernment Wasteful Spending Eliminated By Ron PaulWarner says, "We've seen many previous

Looks like after his appearance on the Tonight Show he actually managed to get a little overdue MSM coverage from Time magazine.The leader of the disaffected in next year's presidential election — the Howard Dean, the Ross Perot, the Pat Buchanan — is a kindly great-grandfather and obstetrician whose passion is monetary policy. Paul, a 72-year-old hard-core libertarian Republican Congressman who is against foreign intervention, subsidies and the federal income tax, is not only drawing impressive crowds (more than 2,000 at a post-debate rally at the University of Michigan last month) but also raising tons of cash. In the third quarter of 2007, Paul took in $5.3 million (just slightly less than G.O.P. rival John McCain), mostly in small, individual donations. On Oct. 22, he aired his first TV ads, $1.1 million worth in New Hampshire.The numbers are even more impressive considering that as of early October, 72% of G.O.P. voters told Gallup pollsters they didn't know enough about Pau
