Ron Paul April Fools MONEYBOMB
aprilfoolsmoneybomb.com — Yet another money bomb to help contest in the remaining primaries for Ron Paul. He's still in the race and he's still winning delegates and votes. John McCain hasn't clinched the nomination because the delegate math is wrong. Besides, Ron Paul is taking the state conventions by storm. Pledge to donate $25 on April 1st.

- keltin, on 03/25/2008, -0/+4Likewise, B22.
- Herkimer56, on 03/24/2008, -20/+18It seems appropriate to have a money bomb for Ron Paul on All Fools' Day.
- silentboom, on 03/24/2008, -5/+13You think it's foolish to defend our constitution? The only April's fool is you for believing the garbage being told to you. Our Constitution and nation is the one time in history that a nation has been free and we were able to maintian that until they started playing with the money. Your extremely ignorant, I suggest you educate yourself before your freedom is totally gone and we will welcome you back after you see the error of your ways.
- Herkimer56, on 03/24/2008, -11/+7I believe it's foolish to believe that Ron Paul gives a ***** about the Constitution. He's not interested in defending the Constitution. He's interested in forwarding his political agenda.
- Observant1, on 03/24/2008, -4/+7as opposed to every other candidates agenda of approving wiretapping, security camera's and microphones everywhere, destroying our rights and sovereignty, economic treasons to be crashing our economy, engaging in BS wars because the globalist UN says so, defending nazi Isreal who has the 4-5th largest military in the world as if they need protection. scorched earth genocidal warfare policy using depleted uranium, using sound cannons that make people vomit, skin burning rays against citizens peacefully protesting... if you support all of that, you are an idiot.

- voterp, on 03/24/2008, -11/+18You shouldn't have a problem most of the mainstream media and the people who follow it are fools for thinking he is not in the race.
FOOLED YA HE IS!!- bingobongony, on 03/24/2008, -8/+2He is in a race in which the leader has already crossed the finish line. He is like that Boston Marathoner who walks acorss the finish on Boylston Street some time around 7 o'clock at night.
- throughtheblack, on 03/24/2008, -1/+6The "finish line" isn't until September. No one could possibly have crossed it yet! Granted, someone could have quite a lead and appear to be likely to cross it first, but the race is not over. Besides, hundreds of his delegates are now void since he broke his own campaign financing laws. Delegates from states where he got on the ballot because of the FEC matching funds program are no longer his. He no longer has enough to "clinch" the nomination.
- bingobongony, on 03/24/2008, -5/+2Dude..it is over. delegates are NOT going to vote against their states wishes. Not going to happen. OIf you can't accept that fact, then get the ***** out of this reality.
As for your second part...his did NOT break his own financing laws. He didn't take any pubic funds. So...you take your ignorant ***** guesses and go back to the Ron Paul Forums where your ignorance will be celebrated

- flohoff60, on 03/24/2008, -9/+20The America people are being fooled by a controlled media who decides your elections. I would love to see Paul rake in a cool
100 million and give McCain and Hillary a run for the money,- Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -5/+17well I seriously doubt he'll be getting 100 million. Maybe $20,000
- Hortnon, on 03/24/2008, -8/+16Probably less.
- Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -6/+6hey, $20,000 will still send a message to the campaign... normally it wouldn't, but since they're only bringing in about $1000 a day now, that should be pretty nice... it's sad that we now consider $20,000 a lot when we used to think $6,000,000 in a day was a lot... however, considering everyone says John McCain has won the nomination, I think it's impressive that anyone is donating money to Ron Paul's campaign... especially $1000 a day. I'd like to have $1000 a day...
- Hortnon, on 03/24/2008, -8/+16Probably less.
- bingobongony, on 03/24/2008, -8/+2I'd love to see hundred dollar bills float down from the sky and land in my back yard tomorrow. But it ain't gonna happen. If he gets 5 figures it would be a miracle.

In fact I dare you to name one outlet that the other candidates appeared on that never reported on paul. Just ONE.
The fact is, paul got much at LEAST as much coverage proportional to his poll numbers than all the other candidates. You people only believe he was "blacked out" because the media didn't verbally fellate him as you do.
People had a chance to hear his views, and by and large they rejected them. Don't try and blame anybody but paul. The fact is, that the GOP base simply does not agree with him. You should learn to accept that instead of crying "whaa blackout whaa" or other ***** conspiracies.- Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -6/+3Yes, he had several INTERVIEWS. But not once did they report on any of his campaign events like they did/do for the other 3 candidates. The media never reported live from his events... they only did that for McCain, Clinton, and Obama. There was even a report (not from the media) that counted the number of times the MSM reported on a candidate's events and Ron Paul received zero reports.
- onetimer, on 03/24/2008, -6/+9Well, who says the media has to report on each candidate equally? It's in their interest to report on who the country is interested in, which at the time, were those leading in the polls. Huckabee got just as little reporting time until his poll numbers (and therefor public interest) started sky rocketing. If paul's numbers had risen to the level of frontrunner, he would have gotten more time. What bothers me is you people think it's some kind of conspiracy, when in fact there were many other GOP candidates who's names weren't even mentioned.
Even still, it doesn't change the fact that he had enough time to get his message exposed, and if people were interested, they could start supporting him, as what happened with huckabee after the first few debates. - Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -5/+4ya, call me crazy, but I guess I've always felt things should be equal and fair and not biased...
- onetimer, on 03/24/2008, -6/+6Things were fair and equal, and in PROPORTION to how much support each of the candidates had.
What were you expecting? Besides the 9 or so candidates in the debates, there were dozens of others in the GOP running for the nomination as well. Do you seriously expect the media to report on all of them equally? There'd only be time for minutes a day on each one. Should I complain because my downstairs neighbors were running, but didn't get any mention?
The media wasn't out to get paul. The sooner you people realize that, then maybe the sooner you'll realize why paul didn't get the nomination in the first place (hint: his platform)
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 03/24/2008, -8/+12http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/index.asp
Seriously... Obama and Clinton both have raised over 360 million COMBINED, and McCain has raised almost 70 mil without even trying.
Paul has raised $34 mil TOTAL. IF your math skills tell you that $34 mil is more than $430 mil, then I think your math teacher back in 2nd grade needs to be punched in the face.- Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -4/+3He was talking about Giuliani and Thompson I think... they were considered bigger candidates and they all lost/dropped out.
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 03/25/2008, -1/+1They dropped out months ago.
Maybe Paulites can run with this bit of information: Ron Paul is polling higher than Bob Dole or Michael Dukakis for 2008!
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 03/25/2008, -1/+1They dropped out months ago.
- Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -4/+3He was talking about Giuliani and Thompson I think... they were considered bigger candidates and they all lost/dropped out.

- srodolff, on 03/24/2008, -20/+15 "and he's still winning delegates"
WTF!?! Certainly not delegates for winning the nomination. Ron Paul's 15 minutes are over.- Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -11/+8um, he is... he just won all the delegates from Missouri... you see, the primaries are absolutely meaningless. They're just a popular vote. It's the state conventions that are important, and right now the Ron Paul people are changing the rules at these conventions and electing their own delegates, and they can do it because they're showing up at these conventions with the most people.
- rexblade, on 03/24/2008, -9/+3How dare you contradict the troll force. Even if it is true.
- ssn697, on 03/24/2008, -5/+11True? BWAH! Come on, post a link that says Ron Paul won all the Missouri delegates for the PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, of the Republican party.
When you can't, will YOU are wrong, or slink away? I'd appreciate it if you call yourself a stupid sheeple troll... - rexblade, on 03/25/2008, -0/+3Lol was more intended to point out your TROLL BULLYING that you guys do daily/hourly. Once again you guys turn a post that has to do with nothing you care about and noone you even like into a collection of derogatory insults, will full ignorance voicing your support for the status-quo. I dont really care if youd appreciate it if I called myself a stupid troll. YOU ARE THE ARROGANT SHEEPLE TROLLS. This was an article directed at Ron Paul supporters not ***** bullies. And I didnt slink away I don't troll here hourly looking for something that YOU like to ***** on like The TROLL FORCE does. And by the way Ron Paul slaughtered all opposition in my home town and im looking forward to the state convention (which is hosted in my town this year) because it's kind of hard for people to get away with lies when they are subjected to debate. As the TROLL FORCE knows.
peace
- ssn697, on 03/24/2008, -5/+11True? BWAH! Come on, post a link that says Ron Paul won all the Missouri delegates for the PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, of the Republican party.
- onetimer, on 03/24/2008, -7/+12Missouri is a winner-takes-all state, is it not? Aren't the delegates required to vote for who the constituents voted for in their precinct? Could you show me some evidence that paul has the majority of the states delegates?
- Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -8/+5I don't think you understand this election process.... the primaries are essentially a popular vote. Normally, the primary vote picks the delegates who then have to vote based on the election result, unless the state's rules differ. However, every state has a state convention for its party. At these conventions (which are generally sparsely attended), party members and supporters of candidates gather to debate and vote on the future rules and platform of the party and national convention. Currently, Ron Paul supporters are flooding these conventions and changing the party rules so that the delegates are unbound. They are then voting to remove the selected McCain delegates and replace them. That's what's happening. Now, the GOP is starting to catch on and is trying to bar Ron Paul people from these conventions while also trying to repeal the convention results.
- ssn697, on 03/24/2008, -7/+10Again, you are trying to take advantage of a little known loophole, AFTER the people have already spoken, so YOUR agenda takes center stage, despite YOUR agenda being soundly rebuked by the people of Missouri?
Very impressive following of liberty, and American principle... - vault, on 03/24/2008, -6/+9That is the stupidest scam ever, Dan. You really think the RNC is going to let you get away with unpledging all the pledged McCain delegates?
The GOP isn't dumb, despite what the media tells you. You're not going to beat them at their own game. - Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -7/+3hey, it's in the rules, it's part of the process, so it's not illegal. Besides, all general votes are meaningless. If you haven't figured that out yet, that's kind of sad. You think there's never any election fraud anywhere ever? You think your vote has ever mattered? HA! The system is broken, and if you want to get something done, you have to do it yourself, show up, and actually care.
- vault, on 03/24/2008, -5/+8lol you're trying to undo the way people voted in the primaries and in the same breath condemning voter fraud? By your own admission, the primaries are a popular vote- the people have already voted, and the Ronbots who claim to value 'liberty' are trying to subvert that.
- Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -6/+5no, I think you're confused.... I'm not doing anything. I'm not taking part in these conventions. See, I don't give a damn about saving the Republican party. I think the GOP is so corrupted and ***** that I would try to burn it down and sink it faster if I could.
Ron Paul's supporters tried to save the GOP in this election and the GOP refused the medicine. Now the GOP will die, and I say good riddance. - onetimer, on 03/24/2008, -8/+8The GOP will continue to exist long after Ron paul is dead in the ground, and after most of his supporters are as well. What makes you think that a 140+ year old political movement is coming to an end just because some fringe candidate didn't get the nomination?
- Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -5/+4Oh, I never said it was going to work. Actually, I said it would likely be in vain...
- vault, on 03/24/2008, -6/+7You're a bit emo, Dan.
Maybe Ron Paul rallies should be held after Jimmy Eat World concerts? No one meant that you individually and alone were going to go to 50 state conventions and try to screw the system. The word 'you' can refer to a group of people. - onetimer, on 03/24/2008, -6/+7Yes, but you did say "Now the GOP will die" at the end of your post. Sounds like a prediction to me...
- rexblade, on 03/25/2008, -0/+3Sorry NEOCONS either way your time is about up.
- ssn697, on 03/24/2008, -7/+10Again, you are trying to take advantage of a little known loophole, AFTER the people have already spoken, so YOUR agenda takes center stage, despite YOUR agenda being soundly rebuked by the people of Missouri?
- onetimer, on 03/24/2008, -7/+10Correct me if I'm mistaken, but aren't those rules about the delegate process being changed only apply to FUTURE conventions? I didn't believe it was retroactive. I've NEVER heard of a case where you could change the rules regarding bound delegates in the same year and then unbound the candidates from the same election cycle.
- Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -8/+5I don't think you understand this election process.... the primaries are essentially a popular vote. Normally, the primary vote picks the delegates who then have to vote based on the election result, unless the state's rules differ. However, every state has a state convention for its party.

Now, the GOP is starting to catch on and is trying to bar Ron Paul people from these conventions while also trying to repeal the convention results.
- vault, on 03/24/2008, -4/+9But there's not enough unpledged delegates for Paul to beat McCain regardless?
- Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -8/+2that's true... for the primaries that are left. But the Paul people aren't going for those.... well, they are, but they're focusing on attending the state conventions where if they have enough people present, they can vote to change the rules and unbind the delegates and replace them with Pro-Paul delegates, or else bar the state delegates/representatives from voting for McCain by passing "unsatisfied" resolutions.
- ssn697, on 03/24/2008, -6/+10So you are purposely trying to subvert the will of the populace, ignore the wishes of the people of the state, and insert yourself in a dictatorial fashion?
- ssn697, on 03/24/2008, -6/+10You would, of course, support a group of White Supremacists doing the same thing. Or a group wanting to change the Repbulican party platform to a communist/Socialist platform, right?
You know, a group denying a STATE it's right of choice, so they can promote their own agenda. You have no problem with that, as your actions in Missouri demonstrate. - vault, on 03/24/2008, -6/+9That isn't how it works. ~80% of Republican delegates are pledged to a given candidate. Even if the Paulestinians got the entire 20% of the unpledged delegates, they still couldn't beat McCain based solely on pledged delegates alone.
What you're suggesting is....try to change the Republican Party's policy on a state level across all 50 states to 'unbind' every single pledged delegate after the fact? How delusional does one have to be to think that's possible? - Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -7/+3hey, if they want democratic values, they can all join the democrats. First of all, I'm not doing anything, I only wrote about what other people have been doing. I never said it was right, I never said it was going to work, and I never bitched and moaned about how unfair it was like you're doing now. Maybe if the republican party really cares they'll be responsible enough to have enough of their own people at their own conventions. I think the claims of including Ron Paul people in the party is *****. They'd like nothing better than to silence them and keep them out, and likely that's what will happen and it won't matter because nobody will care.
- Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -8/+2that's true... for the primaries that are left. But the Paul people aren't going for those.... well, they are, but they're focusing on attending the state conventions where if they have enough people present, they can vote to change the rules and unbind the delegates and replace them with Pro-Paul delegates, or else bar the state delegates/representatives from voting for McCain by passing "unsatisfied" resolutions.
- ssn697, on 03/24/2008, -7/+10Well, there is Dan's version, then there is the REAL version:
"Jon Bennett, chairman of the Republican Central Committee, said ultimately it won't matter if Ron Paul supporters got a majority of candidates from a few counties across the state.
"The bulk of the people who will attend the state convention are going to still be bound to vote for John McCain for president of the United States," he said."
Oh, and nice job getting called out for doing EXACTLY what you claim to hate:
"I welcome these people to the Republican party," Bennett said. "If they want to be apart, that's fine, I have no problem with that. ... I think the way they are going about doing this, it disenfranchised a lot of the Republican faithful of St. Charles County."- Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -9/+5it's hard to be a republican in a republican party that doesn't even have republican values anymore. I'm sorry, but being against abortion is just not enough these days. I'm not saying we're going to win, because it will probably be in vain, but I can guarantee you one thing. John McCain will lose the election. He is unelectable.
- rexblade, on 03/25/2008, -1/+2There is the possibility of him winning I'm well aware. These people dont care about morals individual freedom or non-interventionism. They have no problem rigging an election. The elite want the candidate who will keep the war going for as long as possible. Even if it is a fraudulent immoral war. If you need to see an example of the brainwashing power of these elites just read any comments by the TROLL FORCE. They pride themselves on believing anything that is crammed in their ear or eye holes by the media. Like a pack of stuck up bullies in school who get off on ***** on people who believe in the constitution peace and liberty. Applaud yourselves you stupid NEOCONS you truly are SCUM. What lies wont you believe regardless of the evidence? Hows that dollar doing stupid Neocons? Wheres those WMDs stupid neocons? Wheres those ties Saddam had to al-queda stupid Neocons? What happened to people rights stupid Neocons? When someone you know dies in the war or loses their home thank the stupid Neocons.

- rexblade, on 03/24/2008, -8/+9Nice to see the trolls out in full force. Well not really nice I think when we post articles we should just include their comments on there behalf to save them some time. Always wrong and always predictable.
- onetimer, on 03/24/2008, -11/+9I know. Some of them are even posting ridiculous comments like "it's not over mcCain doesn't have the nomination" or "ron paul still can win". Of course, you're right, those statements are always wrong, just like the "ron paul will sweep the primaries" and "ron paul has the nomination locked up" comments that preceded them.
- rexblade, on 03/25/2008, -0/+3Oh well i havent seen those other articles yet but im sure they are already filled with TROLL FORCE comments. You guys should close your comments with- YAY! GO EVIL! TF (TROLL FORCE) 2008 REPRESENT
- onetimer, on 03/24/2008, -11/+9I know. Some of them are even posting ridiculous comments like "it's not over mcCain doesn't have the nomination" or "ron paul still can win".

- shawnoel, on 03/24/2008, -5/+12Yeah baby! Ron Paul all the way! It doesn't make a whole lot of difference who gets the nomination(get being the keyword) because Ron Paul has inspired and encouraged a group of individuals to join in the process who believe in individual liberty and fiscal responsibility. As someone stated earlier, it's the delegates that count....not Joe Shmo who votes at the primary. I personally have been to the precinct and county conventions where we passed resolutions that empower Ron Paul's platform.....which means that John McCain will have to run on the party platform if we get enough resolutions passed in each state. We have delegates from the county moving up the ladder to the LD convention coming up. April Fools Money Bomb dot com. Spread the word and don't forget to donate April 1st!!!
- jcm267, on 03/24/2008, -6/+13I can't believe that these people are serious! Dugg!
- Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -9/+10why shouldn't they be serious about a message and a person they obviously care about? Are you one of those people who thinks you should just embrace everything you disagree with when you lose/are losing?
- jcm267, on 03/24/2008, -7/+9Do you not see the irony in choosing April Fools for a Ron Paul fundraiser?
- Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -5/+5yes, but I think it runs both ways... I didn't pick the date. I personally don't even see the need to donate more... he still has $5,000,000 and it's not like there's that many states left...
- onetimer, on 03/24/2008, -10/+9$5,000,000 left? That's it? I thought he'd raised some $35,000,000 in total? How much has he spent on advertisements or paying his campaign staff?
To think all that money could have gone to something beneficial like cancer research...
- ssn697, on 03/24/2008, -9/+9I am one who understands when others have rightfully made a choice that differs from mine, and I can accept it. I don't find myself trying to subvert their lawful decision by using underhanded tactics.
"95% of the people disagree with me, so I am going to figure out a way to cheat them out of having their choice!"
"Freedom id Popular"
What a joke. - Dan2263165, on 03/24/2008, -6/+6so because I disagree with you and you happen to be a part of the (in my opinion immoral and uneducated) majority, I'm not allowed to have an opinion anymore and I just have to suck it up and bear the consequences of your poor decisions.... um, ok, that's a little ***** up, but whatever, you said it.
See, I'm all fine for majority rule, but I'm not ok with it if the minority doesn't have rights, and that's what people like you are effectively trying to do.
Lastly, once again, I AM NOT THE ONE TAKING PART IN THESE CONVENTIONS, I simply wrote about it. - Herkimer56, on 03/24/2008, -7/+8So we're immoral and uneducated for not backing some racist little turd for President? Are you joking? Ron Paul has introduced far more legislation to take away individual freedoms than he ever has to protect the freedoms we enjoy. Ron Paul is all for freedom for white, straight, Christian males but not so much for everyone else. If wanting everyone to have the same rights is immoral then I suppose I'm immoral. Ron Paul, however, must be amoral.

Yup! That's the way it works! I can tell you have never been involved in the process. How do you think GWB beat Gore? Duh!!!

Well it's like this.....if Ron Paul didn't run then we wouldn't know all that much about NAU or REAL I.D. as he has brought it into the lime light. Hooray for freedom! The presidential bid was a long-shot, but if there were enough people with backbone and brains then he could have won easily....but most americans are like yourself. Then dingleberry said:
"Speaking of do-nothing, how's the fundraising going? I heard he's up to $800 a day now! That's almost as much as Obama is raising every minute!"
When you pander to special interests like Obamalama ding-dong and Hitlery it's easy to raise money. When you look at who raised the most money from individual folks then Ron Paul is the winner.....he also receives more money from Active Duty Military than ANY other candidate. Ha ha ha ha! You're such a moron! Someone call the whhhaaaaaaammmmbulance for this clown!- onetimer, on 03/24/2008, -10/+10Looks like shawnoel just got home from middle school and was ready to troll. Dingleberry? haven't heard that one since my days on the playground.
The NAU? Ha, looks like we're dealing with a troofer nut-job as well. Shame kids are so easily indoctrinated during adolescence. People long before you were born were talking about the "NAU conspiracy", kid. It's never happened; not even close.
No brains? I'm willing to bet you never attended college, or maybe didn't even finish high school. I wouldn't be the one talking about no brains, unless you were referring to "i don't accept evolution" r. paul (PBUH).
As for your claim that paul received the most "individual donations", you're dead wrong. According to http://ronpaulgraphs.com/total_donors.html , Mr. Paul has had a total of 200,000 unique donors in the last 7 months. Meanwhile, during the months February and March ALONE, obama received donations from nearly a million NEW donors. People on active duty military aren't supposed to be donating to candidates anyways, so congratulations, you've received the most money from people dumb enough to break the rules. This figure doesn't even give an idea of how many donations candidates have received from military donors donating through someone else, or even unique NUMBER of military donors.
I guess with your head so far up your ass all you see is the ***** you've just posted.- rexblade, on 03/25/2008, -0/+4Lol whos got their head up their ass? Comparing current fundraising trends really isnt fair when you consider the fact the media controls the opinions of people like you. Theres been nothing but a steady stream of Obama Clinton Mccain drama for 3 months at least now. None of those candidates have anything to say about monetary policy. Therefore they are a non-threat to the status quo. And yeah the NAU you ignorant *****. Why do you think it's almost like the fed and their lapdogs are ***** up the economy on purpose? Because they are! Thats why only the candidate who will serve their needs gets attention from the media they own. Stupid Stupid Stupid. Hook line and sinker *****.

- onetimer, on 03/24/2008, -6/+6Wow, you really are kind of stupid, aren't you? This is the second piece of ***** that you've posted in 15 minutes.
You really should read up on the Equal time rule (Section 315) before opening your mouth and making yourself look like an ass...
"Congress reacted quickly by creating four exemptions to the equal opportunity law. Stations who gave time to candidates on regularly scheduled newscasts, news interviews shows, documentaries (assuming the candidate wasn't the primary focus of the documentary), or on-the-spot news events would not have to offer equal time to other candidates for that office. In creating these exemptions, Congress stressed that the public interest would be served by allowing stations the freedom to cover the activities of candidates without worrying that any story about a candidate, no matter how tangentially related to his or her candidacy, would require equal time."
"Since the 1970s, debates have also been considered on-the-spot news events and therefore exempt from the equal time law. "
http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/E/htmlE/equaltim ...
I dare you to name ONE instance in which their was a violation of the equal time rule, that wasn't one of the exemptions listed above.

I guess Moses called you dingleberry, huh?
Dingleberry-The NAU? Ha, looks like we're dealing with a troofer nut-job as well. Shame kids are so easily indoctrinated during adolescence. People long before you were born were talking about the "NAU conspiracy", kid. It's never happened; not even close.
since you have a great understanding of links, why don't you post one for that pops. What do you call NATO or the UN. Sounds to me like you haven't read all that much while attaining your presumed Higher Education. Depends? Pun intended raisin face.
Dingleberry-"No brains? I'm willing to bet you never attended college, or maybe didn't even finish high school. I wouldn't be the one talking about no brains, unless you were referring to "i don't accept evolution" r. paul (PBUH). "
I actually did 4 years at the school of hard knocks, and no, not the hard knocks your boyfriend gives you sweet pea.

Where's the link for Obamalama ding dongs donors? Ahhh. Couldn't find that one, huh? Put your bi-focals on. I'm sure you can find it.
Dingleberry- "People on active duty military aren't supposed to be donating to candidates anyways, so congratulations, you've received the most money from people dumb enough to break the rules."
This is nothing more than a lie dingleberry. I served and know better, but thanks for calling our active duty military criminals. I'm sure between fighting for their lives and piecing the one back home together in their off-time they can come here and read the great things you have to say about them. COMMIE!
Dingleberry-"This figure doesn't even give an idea of how many donations candidates have received from military donors donating through someone else, or even unique NUMBER of military donors. I guess with your head so far up your ass all you see is the ***** you've just posted."

Here's a link from a month ago when he first reached a million. Unconfirmed reports are saying he's also reached a million more in just the last month alone. I'll be waiting for your apology.
As for the military donations thing, Ssn, who has served in the armed forces, is the one who alerted me to the rule about donations from active personnel. I'll go find where he posted, and post it here later. Even still, most money raised != most individual donations.
Seriously, if you're an adult, and are still using words like "dingleberry", you need to take a good introspective look at yourself. Sit back and think where your life went wrong, and try to make an effort to sound intelligent.

We can place you right next to GWB! There's no need for me to name one instance where these rules were violated. I'm not your secretary gramps. That was mother nature.
- onetimer, on 03/24/2008, -4/+6I've come to the conclusion that you really are an idiot.

You want to see them, fine.

Well it seems the vocabulary-nazis are in full force. What else can't I say? It sounds like you fit right in with the current anti-freedom crowd. Don't worry pops.

I can only assume you were uneducated based on the idiotic claims you made as well as the vernacular you chose to use. I added "self educated" when you didn't refute my comment, and instead said "school of hard knocks"
People have been talking about the "NAU" long before either of us were born. Proposals and criticisms go all the way back to the '30s.
So your excuse now is that Barack Obama has been lying to all the major media outlets? Really? Do you really think obama hasn't gotten more than 200,000 individual donators? How am I supposed to post the FEC donation records for this quarter considering they won't be published until after the quarter is over? Just man up and admit you were wrong. Seriously, using phrases like "gobble on lil' boys sweaty scrotums" (email sent to abuse team, by the way), you just make yourself look like an idiot.
I'm only 25 years old, so for me to be your "previous generation", as I suspected, you are some dumb 12 year old. Your pathetic. I've proven you wrong on multiple facets, and you won't admit it. You resort to childish, bigoted name-calling in an attempt to prove a point that holds no merit. Thank goodness people like you stand little chance of reproducing and spreading your idiocy to the next generation.

You come off sounding like a closet homosexual, by the way. Your insistence on using insults that revolve around homosexuality, male genitalia, and finally, that link to that gay porn site (you probably got it from your bookmarks) just screams closet case.
