Lousy Name, Great Concept

If you’re a Ron Paul supporter, and you haven’t donated to the “Free at Last” MLK money bomb, please consider doin so. Ron Paul Graphs explains:

“‘m sure I’m not alone in saying this has been a depressing month… bad fundraising numbers.. disheartening scandal… poor showing in some early primary states… but with the 2nd place in NV, and the great fundraising showing today I feel my hope and enthusiasm returning. I hope this is our second wind.”

I’m not a fan of the term “money bomb”. I’d prefer something like “victory salad”, with “salad” referring to various denominations of money. Hmm…winter greens….wint-o-green…

But I digress…

I’m not entirely comfortable piggy-backing off MLK’s legacy for political gain, either. The fact remains, though, that Dr. Paul needs our donations more than ever. In fact, he needs another $23 million. So far, this money bomb isn’t shaping up to be as big as the Tea Party, or even Guy Fawkes Day. That can change, though. Let’s show the world that you can’t count a fundraiser – or a political candidate – out based on early statistics. Let’s give whatever we can to make this money bomb a record breaker, and help Dr. Paul make Super Tuesday an opponent breaker. 🙂

Ron Paul vs. Obama on the War

Obama is often touted as the true Democratic candidate for change in contrast to Clinton and the Neocon Republicans. One such change would then be ending  the war in Iraq and maybe trimming down our overseas empire–this would be a pleasant change, right?

What would you say then if I told you that Obama wants to expand the military?  He has called for 65,000 more soldiers and 27,000 Marines at a time when we are hard-pressed to maintain current recruitment levels, compromising on aptitude, health and criminal backgrounds.

Faux News Advertising Ron Paul?

If I weren’t already a Ron Paul supporter, this article (at Faux News!) would likely have made me one. It reads like a greatest hits compilation of Dr. Paul’s policy ideas.

Foreign Policy, Recession-Proofing the U.S. Dominate GOP Debate in South Carolina

“The Republican candidates returned to their respective outposts on the campaign trail Friday, hours after appearing in a vigorous debate that focused on national security and America’s role in the world. The conversation began when the candidates evaluated the U.S. response during a recent incident in the Strait of Hormuz between a U.S. Navy ship and five Iranian speed boats. Five of the six candidates on stage at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center in South Carolina applauded the commanding officers for responding with restraint when they did not fire on the speed boats even though a radio call claimed the U.S. ship was going to explode in minutes. Of the six candidates, only Ron Paul said he thought the incident was being blown out of proportion.

‘Let’s put it in perspective. We have five small speedboats attacking the U.S. Navy with a Destroyer? They could take care of those speedboats in about five seconds. And here we’re ready to start World War III over this? … You know there are people in this administration and in Washington, D.C., that are looking for the chance’ to bomb Iran, the 10-term Texas congressman said.”

A Message to Michigan Democrats and Independents

Michigan has its primary in six days, and has been punished by both parties for being early. However, while the Democrats have stripped Michigan’s entire delegation, the state still has a Republican delegation at the convention, albeit smaller. Your vote for a Democratic candidate has no direct influence on who gets nominated at the convention.
