I Was a Card-Carrying Libertarian: Confessions of a Black Sheep Republican
Roark, I suggest you stroll over to the FEC’s reporting website to check the numbers on donations for the last two quarters – not to see the much-reported $5 million number for Paul, but to check out the number of donors he has had.
His number of donors trounces most of the Republican candidates.
Unless every single person in the US who is supporting Paul has made a donation [an absurd notion] then his support is demonstrably not made up of a few thousand people on the internet.
In any event, it’s no more “dishonest” for someone at the non-campaign-affilated ronpaulforums.com to direct other forum users to an online poll then it is for Atrios to put up an email link for his readers to bitch at Harry Reid. That’s what the internet is for: communication. You just don’t like it because Ron Paul’s people are doing MORE communicating than the anemic supporters of Giuliani or Thompson. It’s not Paul’s fault that his supporters are actually paying attention, and the supporters of the other candidates are unmotivated layabouts.
