Millions upon millions in their campaign coffers

The Democratic candidates have millions of dollars in their campaign coffers and yet the most visible support from the people at the debate came from a group of volunteers that met through meetup.com. Seems to me like they took a risk in using the opportunity to come and show support for a Republican, and it looks like it paid off huge for them. They probably also did it on their own time and dollar. Or, I know, those Ron Paul cranks must have used their leet haxxor cumpooter skillz to make those signs appear on TV or something. Seems to me like the more likely answer is that the big bad Empire is naked.

It also makes me wonder if Ron Paul wasn't running, would those big signs be bearing someone else's name? Someone who is supposed to represent change and is resonating with the grassroots or w/e the meme is supposed to be?

I like how Dodd was sounding like Ron Paul, and he is polling even lower. The Ghoul jokes were funny but the real joke is how hard the fabrication that is Ghouls is going to be made a into a case study before any Democrat even has a chance to debate him. How much sucking up does Richardson have to do to show Clinton that he would be a good choice for VP?

Keep cryin, I love it

Man, listen to all of you cry about Ron Paul. I guess you're mad because GG isn't lauding over a lefty or a Dem? OMG, is Salon not catering to the left in every single article it puts on its site? Oh noes!

Haha. Your tears, they are so tasty. I knew that GG would eventually write a positive piece re: Ron Paul. How could he not? He seems to me like a Constitution kind of guy, judging from his background and all, and Paul's constitutional position had to be appealing enough for him to at least write an article. Ya dig?

But the funniest part is that listening to all the haters hate all over the Internets, and how, left or right, it all sounds the same. The left wants their abortions and their entitlement money, and the right wants massive military money. Both sides have the same basic complaint, not that Paul might get rid of what they don't like about Big Government, but that Paul will take away what they love and are passionate about regarding Big Government. Tax more, spend more, just spend on it things that interest me and suit me. It seems selfish, petty, and pretty extreme to me (but let me guess, it all somehow helps children or the poor). All the hate doesn't even insult most Paul supporters anymore, especially coming from people who so partisan that they would alienate themselves from their family over petty political differences. I see a lot of the hate linked to the RonPaulForums where everyone gets a good chuckle out of it.

Hannity forums, RedState, Salon, DailyKOS, HotAir, etc. etc. They all hate Paul for the same reasons, they are scared that Paul might cut spending on the big government programs they agree with, regardless of their effects on Civil Liberties.

Civil Liberties are a joke. Both sides want to strip them away with Big Government, they just disagree on what to strip and from whom.

Divide and Conquer.

L.W.M., still singing that old racism tune

Man, still riding that old racism/antisemitism horse, L.W.M.? I figured you'd be beating it's bloated corpse by now, but I guess the old mare has some life left in her, eh?

I guess Walter E. Williams is like the self-hating cop from Boys in the Hood then? I guess the only pictures that Paul has in his Congressional Office are portraits of Mises and Rothbard because they were antisemitic self hating Jews and that is what Paul respected about them?

I guess the 1st AA Female Combat pilot who applauded Ron Paul at the PBS Debate, a debate in which the "top tier" didn't show up, is just drinking the Kool Aid and doesn't understand that Paul wants to turn the clock back and get her into chains ASAP.

typical

I haven't been to a carnival side show in years.

Typical. Hey look, someone anonymously flamed a Ron Paul supporter on a website. Fresh.

We?

The left has looked at him and we find him sorely deficient outside his desire to end the war.

"We". That's cute how your groupthink speaks for everyone.

and here comes the newsletter

Wow, calling Paul racist and/or antisemitic by touting out something that was ghost written by someone who was fired, how unpredictable of you all. Maybe CapitalHillBlue can give you some advice when it comes to people making false statements on your behalf? Oh well, CHB seemed to enjoy its crow.

But hey, all of this is new and interesting stuff. I guess when that's all you got, then that's all you got.

Police your own wounds first....

I'm comfotable with the fact that I am a bit of an "extremist". I have not spoken to any Republicans in my own family in over ten years, including my own mother. They can't take a joke either.

Looks like you have your own wounds to lick, tiger.
