Ron Paul's imaginary internet-poll-spamming supporters sure have a lot of money!

Hannity spin prediction: "oh come on, he didn't raise $4 million dollars -- it was just the same 10 people sending in the same dollar bill over and over."

Christopher,
Please pull your head out of the cave and educate yourself..Provided below is a link that shows the gold standard is not far fetched...Nixon took us off the gold standard in 1971...and because of that, the money people save in the bank is eroded away because of the hidden tax and that hidden tax is called inflation.

I have to say I did not think that we would make the 10 million, but I really did hope too. But we have made one heck of a statement. We are tired and fed up. Those polls the media put out do'nt mean a thing, but that money honest hard working people have put forward do.

We are here we are making a difference, I think this is only one of many statements to come from us. Hold on it's going to be a thrill ride.

Heh; if Ron gets elected, gold and paper money won't be a dichotomy any more. Exactly. It's amazing how many MSM members don't even understand the concept of fiat money. But I heard Ron Paul say there are members of CONGRESS who think our dollars are still backed by gold!

Huck is the top of the bottom tier; Ron is the bottom of the top tier.

I, too, wonder about the Guy Fawkes tie-in, considering that Fawkes's objective was to destroy Britain's constitutional government and replace it with a theocracy.

I wonder at the choice of the 5th of November for this (very clever) gimmick. Does someone plan to blow up the Federal Reserve?

Note for the overly literal: This is just a joke. Get over yourself.

Re TheWhatNow?'s comments, I'd have a hard time believing that Ron Paul would come within 20 or 30 points of Hillary Clinton in a worldwide vote (which thankfully will never be a reality in our lifetimes). Much of that comes from her name recognition and association with Bill who most of the world now thinks looks pretty good in the rear view mirror. But even once Ron Paul was better known, I'd still be shocked if he could beat her. Even if Paul could get his agenda thru Congress, would much of the world *really* want the US to pull out of the UN, reduce aid, withdraw troops from everywhere? Lots of instability there for people to fear, even if they are salivating at getting rid of Bush. Paul's performance is impressive. I'd definitely consider voting for a libertarian, although I'm a bit disappointed with Paul's divergence from the LP platform on abortion and immigration. Where is the small government in a big police state wall and hunting down businesses trying to make a living by hiring people who are available? Did Paul always take this view or is it a recent conversion so that he doesn't differ with the GOP base on another big issue? I'd guess the former, just wondering. Does anyone know what other issues he may differ from the classic libertarian position? I know he was the LP nominee in '88 so perhaps it isn't a long list.

"Stephen Colbert ends White House bid after being removed from South Carolina primary ballot."

This is what the "news" talks about, a fake candidate from a faux political TV show, while a REAL candidate -- Ron Paul -- who refuses corporate donations -- takes in $3-$4 million in ONE DAY from REAL Americans from a supporter-driven drive not even promoted by the Paul campaign! What a story!

No mention of it.

We live in a facist police-state controlled by tranquilized media puppets. Watching the "news" makes me want to puke it is so dumbed-down and diluted of any fair or intelligent content.

You know 10M$ would EASILY be surpassed today if it were legal for non-US citizens to support Ron Paul. As Canadians, our politics are a like a delayed reaction to yours. Our Prime Minister is really just your President's bitch, no matter who he/she is. Ron Paul is #1 on the world's voting card because of what he stands for (that's why online polls are ludicrously in favour of him - cuz the world gets to vote here), and when he wins the presidency, it will mean a return to the USA everyone used to respect, it will mean a return to Canada as it was created, and a different world ready to embrace the true globalism...and don't worry - America can still kick ass eh!

If we set a goal for 10 million, and only raise 4 million, then yes the media could use it as a chance to highlight our failure. But it would backfire because even just 4 mill in one day is a record, right?

Whenever the media tries to spin a record as a failure, it usually wakes up a few more people!
