AP: Ron Paul Raises $8M In 3 Months!, page 1

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul says he raised $8 million in the last three months. The Texas congressman said Wednesday that his campaign will report that sum when it files its fundraising report with the Federal Election Commission later this month.

Paul also says his campaign has more than 100,000 donors. Paul says "we are very pleased with that" and called his effort "pretty sound numbers." Paul raised $4.5 million during the first fundraising quarter of his campaign.

This is the story. Pretty simply. Those are huge numbers for Ron, and show his support is not dying. Also very happy to see this on the yahoo front page. Every little bit helps.

Very nice to see, that he can raise this kind of dough, while being blackballed by the MSM. The other GOP candidates couldn't do this without the MSM tooting their horn every five minutes.

I'm thinking you're right...at least for this quarter anyway. Isn't Romney always being touted in the media as having huge support and overflowing coffers? I'd like to see his public announcement for this quarter.

Romney is expected to raise around $14 million...around double that of RP....that's no good.

Ron Paul is against the protests on Wall Street. He said so in a speech to the American Press Club.

Fact is. Fundraising is a get rich quick scheme for all of these people. Sarah Palin showed that it's all just a scam. She raised a lot of money and blew it on a bus tour of the US. She's not even running.

He's just scamming the American people just as the rest of them are.

Um, no. What he actually said was, “I can’t speak for the people out there because I don’t know who they are or exactly what they are demonstrating against,” Paul told the Nation Press Club. “I can argue the case for their right to express their outright frustration with what is going on. Some are liberals and some are conservatives and some are libertarians and some are strict constitutionalists. And if you read carefully over what I’ve written over the past 10 or 15 years, I talk a lot about this, that eventually we will go bankrupt.”

“As far as the federal government involved in the practice of civil disobedience in the various states, it’s really up to the states to deal with it. I think that civil disobedience, if everybody knows exactly what they are doing, is a legitimate effort. It’s been done in this country for many grievances. Some people end up going to jail for this. But to speak for a special group and say, ‘Yeah, I like what they are doing or they are not doing,’ but what I want to do is try to sort it out and tell people why they are struggling and that this was a predictable event.”

You're absolutely right, he did babble on like an old man with dementia, rambling incoherently and making no sense whatsoever, trying desperately to get back to his prepared talking points while attempting to avoid the question altogether.

That's so much better than just denouncing the protesters aims while looking like the oligarch he really is.
