Ron Paul Bests Everyone in Military Donations, Again.

Its striking that Dr. Paul once again gets more support from the military than any other Republican. It shows that these blow hards on Republican ticket are nothing but hot air - if they really spoke for the military, the military would be supporting them - not Dr. Paul. Not only does he beat every one individually - but he beats them all combined: an amazing feat!!

American Chronicle | Ron Paul Bests Everyone in Military Donations, Again.: "Ron Paul not only out-raised every other Republican candidate in the 4th fundraising quarter of 2007, but defended his 3rd quarter title as the United States military´s favorite candidate. This time, the victory was decisive. Paul received approximately three times as many Army donations as Senator John McCain, twice as many from the Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force, and more military donations overall than all the other Republican candidates combined. In fact, the United States Army alone was Paul´s biggest contributor, outstripping students and every other branch of the military.

Total Military Member Donations:

Ron Paul – 931
McCain – 466
Romney – 125
Huckabee – 141"
So McCain - what do you have to say for yourself?

Dr. Paul on MTV (Part 1)

Here was the first part with Dr. Paul on MTV. He gets some tough questions but sticks to his constitutional line. Have a look.

The kingdom of heaven will be like 10 virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.

The foolish ones said to the wise: 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.' 'No,' they replied. 'There may not be enough for both us and you.'"
It goes on to list the 10 virgins of our current Folly and Turmoil...
