- inactive, on 01/27/2008, -11/+269individual contributions, and a LOT of them. Small average donation, Large number of supporters. Obama may be able to make Hillary cry again...
- ThinkBox, on 01/27/2008, -11/+263Here comes the Hillary Clinton Whhhhhhaaaaaaambluence!
- inactive, on 01/27/2008, -56/+206What's this? You mean, a veritable "money-bomb" without anyone setting up a cheesy website, and obnoxiously spamming the URL on every corner of the internet for weeks? Must be a candidate that has real support outside the internet.
- rhabd0mancer, on 01/27/2008, -5/+150Hillary is going to have to auction off some of her pantsuits to keep up with Obama.
- RansomHoldiay, on 01/27/2008, -7/+131"We don't take money from lobbyists or political action committees, and we're building a broad base of individual donors to ensure that this campaign answers to no one but the people."
Obama 08 - trotskyist, on 01/27/2008, -28/+135Obama can Money Bomb without even trying.
- jdh24, on 01/27/2008, -43/+134Good for Obama. Ron Paul can't even compete with that kind of fundraising, and everyone would like to see Hillary lose to Obama.
- sutro33, on 01/27/2008, -13/+102My broke ass just gave $50. Go Obama!
- insomniac8400, on 01/27/2008, -13/+101Hillary is done. We've seen hillary and obama basically tie in each race. So there was no clear winner. But now that obama has shown he can decimate hillary, her campaign is over.
- DifferentAngle, on 01/27/2008, -2/+73Since when were Ron Paul and Obama competing?
Or are they just competing for the Digg fanboi awards. - mianus230, on 01/27/2008, -9/+73I gave him 5 bucks myself, I hope he wins.
- Arkavus, on 01/27/2008, -10/+62FTA:
"A source inside the Obama campaign says the candidate's web site has seen one of its best hours tonight, raising $525,000 in one hour."
Hate to play devil's advocate but Obama did not beat Ron Paul's single day record so I don't know exactly what you think you're talking about. But you are right about one thing: everyone wants Obama to beat Hillary, unless they're idiots. - zKman, on 01/27/2008, -3/+52The Dec. 16 donations (the $6 mil one day record) had. a maximum rate of $450K and an average of $250K per hour
- trotskyist, on 01/27/2008, -9/+58Obama did better than Hillary did in Michigan
...when Hillary was the only person on the ballot. - Gabberwok, on 01/27/2008, -12/+49All you Ron Paul people out there... hedge your bets and give some money to Obama too. I'm betting a lot of you would prefer him to any of the other Republicans or Hillary.
- inactive, on 01/27/2008, -21/+54I'm not a registered democrat or Republican. I just am anti-***** so naturally I reject paul and his spammer brigade.
- Akronos, on 01/27/2008, -3/+36I'm glad that at least one decent candidate is doing well. Congrats.
- Hortnon, on 01/27/2008, -11/+43"WOOHOO I AM A CLUELESS ***** IDIOT!!"
Well, at least there was some truth in that post somewhere. - inactive, on 01/27/2008, -11/+42"Why don't you go play in traffic - blindfolded?"
You just can't stop the LOVE in the rEVOLution, can you? - amawg9, on 01/27/2008, -13/+43https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/scv ...
give what you can. - inactive, on 01/28/2008, -0/+30Real men don't cry. Hillary Clinton should be ashamed of himself.
- theutopian, on 01/27/2008, -3/+31I was one of those people. Donated $25. Never donated in a campaign before. I've never been prouder to be able to do so. Obama is going to wipe the floor with Hillary and I'm happy to provide the money to do so.
- fadeout, on 01/27/2008, -21/+49Thank you for your generous donation to the Ron Paul retirement fund.
- inactive, on 01/27/2008, -1/+28hey, wouldnt it be neat if democracy were like digg where you can cast voes for and votes against?
- ThreeDee912, on 01/27/2008, -19/+46Seems like the new algorithm is filtering out the Ron Paul spam effectively...
- Ajajadude, on 01/27/2008, -20/+47And how many primaries has Ron Paul won?
- inactive, on 01/27/2008, -3/+29YOU FORGOT THIS:
Individual contributions: $79,218,370 (99%)
Yeah, he is a shill for 1% of of his donors. - inactive, on 01/27/2008, -13/+39"Stop being a "progressive liberal" coffee shop ***** and read a ***** economics book. "
For some reason you don't strike me as being very educated yourself...
Reported. - Comatose51, on 01/27/2008, -0/+25I would be a little more careful about that. Super Tuesday is coming up. Clinton is very shrew (which is why I won't vote for her) and luring us into a false sense of victory and thus leading to apathy on Obama's supporters could be a gamble that could pay off. No matter what, when the primary comes, vote for your candidate! Don't expect other supporters to do it for you!
- martalli, on 01/27/2008, -1/+26I waited until this morning and got left out of the rush. However, we bought some bumper stickers and such last night and the website's store was sllloooooow. I think some of the stickers went to "sold out" while I was shopping!
- martalli, on 01/27/2008, -7/+32Wow, Obama's the number two candidate there, after Ron Paul. If RP doesn't win the Republican nomination, will you support Obama in the general election?
- ArrowheadAddict, on 01/27/2008, -6/+30He doesn't take ANY money from lobbyists or PACs, people. How many times must people repeat that...
- inactive, on 01/27/2008, -5/+29Yes...what HAS he been doing with the money?
- trotskyist, on 01/27/2008, -3/+26"Such a tolerant democrat.
okthxbai"
I thought you said you had blocked him? - DifferentAngle, on 01/27/2008, -4/+25Digg talks about how dumb the general public is... except when it agrees with them.
- ErosAmadeus, on 01/27/2008, -5/+26You brought up a lot of good points, but you did so in a very childish and unbecoming manner. If you want to help Ron Paul, please try to communicate more effectively by being courteous, respectful and composed.
- inactive, on 01/27/2008, -10/+30If Obama were to win the nomination, he would quickly surpass Ron paul's one day record come the day he spoke at the DNC.
- inactive, on 01/27/2008, -21/+40Fine with me. Go back to ronpaulforums where your whining ***** is not only accepted, but is expected.
- wonderboy, on 01/27/2008, -7/+26Obama has been criticized on here many times about voting for the Patriot Act and I never saw a response (I may have missed it). So as a Ron Paul supporter, I looked up his reasoning and here it is. You're welcome :)
" Mr. OBAMA: Mr. President, 4 years ago, following one of the most devastating attacks in our Nation's history, Congress passed the USA PATRIOT Act to give our Nation's law enforcement the tools they needed to track down terrorists who plot and lurk within our own borders and all over the world--terrorists who, right now, are looking to exploit weaknesses in our laws and our security to carry out even deadlier attacks than we saw on September 11th.
We all agreed that we needed legislation to make it harder for suspected terrorists to go undetected in this country. Americans everywhere wanted that.
But soon after the PATRIOT Act passed, a few years before I ever arrived in the Senate, I began hearing concerns from people of every background and political leaning that this law didn't just provide law enforcement the powers it needed to keep us safe, but powers it didn't need to invade our privacy without cause or suspicion. Now, at times this issue has tended to degenerate into an ``either- or'' type of debate. Either we protect our people from terror or we protect our most cherished principles. But that is a false choice. It asks too little of us and assumes too little about America.
Let me be clear: this compromise is not as good as the Senate version of the bill, nor is it as good as the SAFE Act that I have cosponsored. I suspect the vast majority of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle feel the same way. But, it's still better than what the House originally proposed.
This compromise does modestly improve the PATRIOT Act by strengthening civil liberties protections without sacrificing the tools that law enforcement needs to keep us safe.
In this compromise:
* We strengthened judicial review of both national security letters, the administrative subpoenas used by the FBI, and Section 215 orders, which can be used to obtain medical, financial and other personal records.
* We established hard-time limits on sneak-and-peak searches and limits on roving wiretaps.
* We protected most libraries from being subject to national security letters.
* We preserved an individual's right to seek counsel and hire an attorney without fearing the FBI's wrath.
* And we allowed judicial review of the gag orders that accompany Section 215 searches. The compromise is far from perfect.
I would have liked to see stronger judicial review of national security letters and shorter time limits on sneak and peak searches, among other things. "

- drizzlelicious, on 01/27/2008, -4/+22I pray so, but I wouldn't speak too quickly
- ShogunWarPig, on 01/27/2008, -7/+25True, still voting Ron Paul though.
- jhuckabee, on 01/27/2008, -3/+21$5 here or $3.01 there, every little bit helps!
gOBAMA!!! - relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -3/+20I JUST DONT WANNA SEE US FALL BACKWARDS BAWWWWWWWWWWW
;A; - inactive, on 01/27/2008, -3/+20relax, dude.
- JettaMan, on 01/28/2008, -1/+18IT'S JUST SO IMPORTANT (THAT I GET NOMINATED).
- COINTELPROAgent, on 01/27/2008, -6/+23Agreed, reported.
- nymphetamine, on 01/27/2008, -18/+34No, no, no. Don't start any of this "Obama money bomb" *****. Just support him if you want and leave it at that. Don't go all crazy like the Paultards.
- thebellmaster1x, on 01/27/2008, -9/+25Reported for the following reasons:
1) You mentioned the CFR. What the hell, dude. IT'S A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO MEET AND THINK. THAT'S IT. YOU ARE CRAZY.
2) Use of "'progressive liberal'" as an insult.
3) Use of "*****" as an insult (especially).
4) Acting like since I don't support your candidate I condone an Orwellian dystopia.
5) Spamming Ron Paul in a story about Obama.
6) Being an overall dick instead of starting a calm discussion like a normal person. All of that failure on Paul's side must really be pissing you off, huh? -
