The cult of Ron Paul seems to be picking up lots of new members — and some serious money.

 

The 72-year-old Republican presidential candidate — a conservative-libertarian congressman from Texas whose anti-war fundamentalism has attracted a broad youth following and Internet buzz — has been widely considered a long shot all year, with his campaign running on a shoestring budget and not much more than gumption.

 

Or so it appeared until Wednesday, when Paul's team announced that it had raised about $5.1 million from July through September. That puts his total at more than $8 million for this year.

 

That may seem like spare change compared to Democrat Hillary Clinton's $27 million third-quarter take, but it puts Paul in range of several other contenders:

 

_ Democrat Bill Richardson and Republican John McCain estimated that they each had raised about as much as Paul did for the quarter.

 

_ Democrat John Edwards reported raising about $7 million.

 

_ Republican Fred Thompson is expected to report that he raised about $8 million — and he's running second to Rudy Giuliani in national polls.

 

_ Democrats Joseph Biden and Christopher Dodd combined were expected to have less cash to show for the reporting period than Paul has raised.

Is it true the NY mayor is the best one the city has had in history?

Posted

Huh? Sorry i don't understand.

 

Saw him in a press conference over here and he was getting nothing but rave reviews

Posted

Do you mean Rudy the former mayor or Bloomberg the current mayor? Because Bloomberg is extremely popular, Rudy got mainly mixed reviews.

Well it seems that Rudy can get away with talking about how much of a 9/11 hero he is when he isn't in NY. He is trying to sell that to picture to "middle america" yet whenever he is in NY, the people don't seem to buy it, and for good reason.

Al Gore won the Nobel Prize.

 

Hannity & Beck will devote plenty of news time to what plane he took to Switzerland.

Al Gore isn't worth defending.

He's not tappin' the Beeze.

 

Wait, wait...this just in. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided to take the Nobel Prize away and give it to George W. Bush.

 

Sorry, Al. Maybe next time.

Wait a minute. He won the Peace Prize? I thought he won it in some other category. Well, that's a bit of a reach.

Yeah, it's been bothersome how lacsidasical all the other Democrats campaigns have become. Maybe they're just assuming they have no chance and playing nice so they can maybe get the VP spot on the ticket.

B-I-N-G-O. While Hillary is the front runner, there is plenty that the other candidates can challenge her on, but they seem very reserved in their criticism during debates. Almost like they know they will be run over by the giant ball of hungry critters better known as the Clinton Machine.
