Ron Paul's "Tea Party" - December 16th Fundraiser (looks to be bigger than Nov. 5th!)

[Zimzum]

Just got back from the Boston rally! I've got about 3 hours of footage. Would of had more if it wasn't for the rain today. Anyways, will take me some time to convert and do some editing but will post them as they go up on youtube.

Rand Paul is the shit and would make a great VP!

does he really have a chance? most of my friends aren't registered to vote, when i've breifly mentioned any candidates they've had no clue about any of them, and most of them have said they most likely won't vote when that time comes around.... there is "Google Ron Paul" and all this other ron paul shit all around campus though, i don't know anything about him besides he's pro marijuana..... i don't think most baby boomers will vote for him either....

Everyone needs to donate $100 to Dr. Paul's campaign.

lol would you mind showing me your receipt of donating 100 bucks too? i don't support any campaign enough to donate anything over 20 bucks, actually as of right now i doubt i would donate anything besides change to anyone, i don't know enough about the candidates yet, but right now im leaning towards obama

yes, he has a chance. He has raised over $5 million today! The establishment controlled media is trying to silence him, but he slowly is moving into frontrunner status. We need your help though. Donate (if you can afford it), Register republican and vote ron paul in the primaries. He is our only hope. Ron Paul 2008 — Hope for America

Ron Paul is our only hope. He is literally fonding father material. Not only is he pro cannabis, and would end the illegitimate war on drugs, legalize hemp, and allow the states to legalize marijuana, or other drugs. He is a pro freedom libertarian, who will eliminate the federal reserve, and get the government out of our lives.

He's definitely my favorite republican candidate. Although I'm not crazy about all the isolationist stuff. I'm down with peace and not intervening with other countries problems, but in this day in age, especially considering china and the middle east, we really need open trade. We get goods from them and they get goods from us.

Either way, I'm still voting, or at least donating for now, to Dr. No.

It isn't about isolationism. It's about making sure that Americas problems are put first and not another countries. And when America is doing good you can diplomatically help countries who need it, but NEVER by force. Thomas Jefferson said, "Commerce with all nations, alliance with none." This is very important as it insures that Americans interests are always #1.

Just another good quote from Jefferson,

"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government."

does he really have a chance?

There is no clear leading candidate in the republican field, he's got more money than a lot of them, why wouldn't he have a chance? His campaign just needs to turn that money into actual votes, how they do that is the tricky part.

If I was in the campaign I'd spend some good dough and hire some talented people to produce his commercials, and also hire an excellent marketing team to make sure his high points are highlighted in the commercials, and I also think it would be cool for the Paul campaign to run a contest for fans to produce their own commercials to be plastered on the TVs in the early states.

They need a healthy mixture of both physical fan support as well as professional support. Voters need to understand Ron Paul is professional and ready for the White House. His advertisements need to do this for voters or they won't trust he is real enough to win.

He isn't an isolationist, calling him one was just a slimy political method McCain used to slam his competition. McCain attacked Paul because he sees him as a threat to his campaign, not because he seriously believes Ron Paul is an isolationist. It's all politics.
