Representative Ron Paul’s $5 million in third quarter campaign contributions have not only impressed his ardent supporters but also (finally) ABC News! Apparently ABC News packed up their cameras on Wednesday (10/3) and went to New Hampshire where Dr. Paul has been campaigning to interview him.
The original leak of the interview occurred on the Free-Market News Network (FMNN). Then looking on ABC News web site I found their article/interview. The article seemed grudgingly positive with text such as:
“It’s really fascinating,” Paul said, seeming as surprised with the news as was much of the rest of the political world. “I think the time is right. People are really frustrated — frustrated with both parties, frustrated with the war.”
Paul’s campaign announced Wednesday afternoon that the congressman from Texas had raised more than $5 million — twice as much as he raised in the last quarter. Almost every other candidate hit the traditional third-quarter lull in the summer and raised less money.
And while Paul’s haul is likely less than that of better-known Republicans, such as former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who have not yet reported third-quarter numbers, it’s roughly what Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is estimated to have raised, and five times what former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee brought in. {Please note the table I compiled which estimates or reports on the third quarter donations for the various Presidential candidates.}
Be sure to read the entire ABC News article. It is GREAT that finally Dr. Paul is getting his message out there and commanding respect by the establishment!
Go Ron Paul for President in 2008!

This is an interesting one. Either it is very funny, tongue in cheek or the blogger has left their spaceship somewhere and haven’t been able to find it.
Snippets from the blog (http://protoplasm.wordpress.com):
“In this picture, you can see an Evil Paul Campaign worker yell and threaten bodily harm to obviously distraughtt young boys to waken the occupant of that house so that she can give him Dr. Rep. Ron Paul campaign literature and threaten to burn down his house unless he supports Dr. Rep. Ron Paul. It is further alluded that the boys, who live in that neighborhood, understand that the occupant of the house is a perverted philanderer and child fornicator, a convicted sex offender, who is known, on occasion, to hold young children hostage and to torture their small pets.”
“I spoke with Rep. Tom Tancredo during my nightly vision just last night. We were discussing how quickly the government moved to deport this quiet old German man. We concluded it could only have happened with the support of the almost rabid-like eagerness of the Jewish-Business-Banker-Israel Cartel, which has such a firm grip on governmental power. And then, through the Power of Divine Revelation, we both, at the same time, saw a strategy that can as quickly get the Wheels of Justice rolling to rid our nation of the 20 million illegal immigrants, who for the most part are mexicans: We simply charge all illegal mexican immigrants to be former members of elite units of the Nazi Waffen SS who served as guards at notorious concentration camps and whatnot.”
“It is now a matter of public record that I have completed a 30 day Prison Ministry, where I endeavored to service the souls of the liars and thiefs and thugs and fornicators who populate the Sumter County Jail. Please don’t listen to those who would have you believe that I was serving a sentence for enticing minors for indecency. As Baby Jesus the Lord is my witness, I entered the jail willingly. Parking down by the levy that night with Mr and Mrs Hanson’s 16 year old daughter and her boyfriend, all faithful members of my Church, with an open bottle of Boone’s Farm wine was all part of the ruse — the only way I could figure to gain admission into the jail so that I could Do the Lord’s Blessings.”
“In my night time Visions last night, the Lord God showed me a policy speech that He wants Rep. Tom Tancredo to prepare, a policy speech that will put him in the drivers seat in terms of driving the sort of Christian Republican Issues that are needed to mobilize Christian Republicans to Vote. God showed me, through the medium of Holy Vision, why Rep. Tom Tancredo has been and will be The Leader of Republican Issues. In this speech, Rep. Tom Tancredo will propose that Congress adopt a “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy regarding the Sexual Imperversities of Our Congress.”
“Although Sen. Sam Brownback no longer represents a threat to the election of Rep. Tom Tancredo as President of the United States of American Dominion, one must wonder if ‘problems’ of a personal nature are in any way coupled to his ‘disappearance’ from the minds of voters and the way he seems to be rapidly losing key constituents and focus groups, including all of the Christian Republican voters? News reports now appear to confirm that Sen. Sam Brownback is not exactly different from any other catholic, who all talk a good anti-abortion game, but when push comes to shove and they actually have an unwanted pregnancy, are first in line waiting on the front step of abortion clinics at opening time each morning. These disturbing news reports indicate that Sen. Sam Brownback was not only pregnant, and had an abortion, but in all likelihood impregnated himself through a despicable act of self-fornication and degradation of his own bodily flesh. All the while trying to pretend that he was not pregnant, but in fact was “simply carrying a large, unexplained abdominal mass.”
The line between humor and insanity is both thin and well worn.
I hesitate to OK the comment and reference their site .. but it makes my rants seem sane so I’ll let ‘em stay.
It’s amazing the breadth of human thought which some take seriously/sanity, e.g., from the blog re: Ron Paul’s campaign:
“God has revealed to me that these foursupporters, with the full authority and knowledge of Dr. Rep. Ron Paul, have entered into a secret option contract with the Central Canadian government to consummate the purchase Manitoba by the second week of November, 2008–using funds donated to the Dr. Rep. Ron Paul campaign–in the event that Dr. Rep. Ron Paul fails to win the election.”
All I can say is I hope Ron Paul et. al. are planning on creating a nice theme park there. Maybe something based on snow, ice, and freezing your butt off. They should have purchased the ‘land’ I have in Florida. If only I’d have known.

This has got to be a joke. Even psychotics can get it together better than this.
