Brumar89;

Re. Ron Paul - it doesn't matter how much he raises, he's a fringe candidate with little support from anyone

Where is all that money coming from if he is just a fringe candidate? I will agree with you that he doesn't stand much of a chance, but you are missing the point. The point is there is an awful lot of republicans that think this war is nuts.

As to terrorism - there is terrorism against Americans every single day in Iraq and Afghanistan. This year there have been more deaths than any other. The military, by accounts from them, suggest we are near limits with the men we now have. Pakistan is erupting into a real danger as is Turkey. The other members of the coalition of the willing are abandoning us. Iraq infrastructure is crumbling faster than the Americans can build it back up. The health problems and misplaced Iraqi's continue to escalate. Brumar, how does this end? Are you willing to pay for it with your taxes? Do you have family there?

Steve

Four point three million dollars from 37000 donors is $116 per. Looks like a Buchanan fest to me.

In my view, he will last about as long a Dean and not as long as Buchanan.

Haven't you noticed that the new talking point says that republicans are trying to scare the public into voting for them at the polls? Yes....talking about a war on terror where non exists and trying to frighten Americans into supporting them by saying that they are tougher on terrorists than dems all because of their unquenchable thirst for power?

Steve is a very apt student of the bds crowd who absolutely do not believe that there is a wot terror.
