freakofthesouth Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 After a 6.6 million dollar day, I have seen no headlines referring to this. Being as objective as possible, how could they not cover this material as a major headline? It makes NO sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarborough mentioned it, Cafferty did a question on it just half an hour ago, I heard that there was a huge article on it in the Washington Post. It's still being treated as third rate news with all the other stuff going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't stop Blitzer's fill-in for dropping cynicism on the topic. Sorry, record-breaking political fundraising merits serious coverage. BTW, good for the Washington Post for having some balls.

SnyderShrugged Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I'm not surprised at the lack of coverage as it goes against their choices of candidates for us. It's actually almost comical to think about possible reasons that the GOP isnt yelling this news from the mountain tops that one of THEIR PARTY beat both Kerry's and Hillary's records in single day donations. Transparent for any person blessed with rational thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnyderShrugged Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 e-mail I received today Message from Ron - 5:00pm EST 12/17 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 17, 2007 What a day! I am humbled and inspired, grateful and thrilled for this vast outpouring of support. On just one day, in honor of the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, the new American revolutionaries brought in $6.04 million, another one-day record. The average donation was $102; we had 58,407 individual contributors, of whom an astounding 24,915 were first-time donors. And it was an entirely voluntary, self-organized, decentralized, independent effort on the internet. Must be the "spammers" I keep hearing about! The establishment is baffled and worried, and well they should be. They keep asking me who runs our internet fundraising and controls our volunteers. To these top-down central planners, a spontaneous order like our movement is science-fiction. But you and I know it's real: as real as the American people's yearning for freedom, peace, and prosperity, as real as all the men and women who have sacrificed for our ideals, in the past and today. And how neat to see celebrations all across the world, with Tea Parties from France to New Zealand. This is how we can spread the ideals of our country, through voluntary emulation, not bombs and bribes. Of course, there were hundreds in America. As I dropped in on a cheering, laughing crowd of about 600 near my home in Freeport, Texas, I noted that they call us "angry." Well, we are the happiest, most optimistic "angry" movement ever, and the most diverse. What unites us is a love of liberty, and a determination to fix what is wrong with our country, from the Fed to the IRS, from warfare to welfare. But otherwise we are a big tent. Said the local newspaper (http://www.thefacts.com/story.lasso?...5b4d132fc0a1): "The elderly sat with teens barely old enough to vote. The faces were black, Hispanic, Asian and white. There was no fear in their voices as they spoke boldly with each other about the way the country should be. Held close like a deeply held secret, Paul has brought them out of the disconnect they feel between what they know to be true and where the country has been led." Thanks also to the 500 or so who braved the blizzard in Boston to go to Faneuil Hall. My son Rand told me what a great time he had with you. A few mornings ago on LewRockwell.com, I saw a YouTube of a 14-year-old boy that summed up our whole movement for me. This well-spoken young man, who could have passed in knowledge for a college graduate, told how he heard our ideas being denounced. So he decided to Google. He read some of my speeches, and thought, these make sense. Then he studied US foreign policy of recent years, and came to the conclusion that we are right. So he persuaded his father to drop Rudy Giuliani and join our movement. All over America, all over the world, we are inspiring real change. With the wars and the spying, the spending and the taxing, the inflation and the credit crisis, our ideas have never been more needed. Please help me spread them https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate in all 50 states. Victory for liberty! That is our goal, and nothing less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
