Ron Paul, in case you missed this over the week-end, has raised a ton of money and done very well in this quarter. The campaign is claiming over $16 million. That's a lot of dough. And he still hasn't handled the accusations that some neo-nazis have contributed to the campaign and that he has not given the money back.
The campaign sent out several emails over the week-end with press releases about the fund totals. It does raise a number of questions, how is he doing it? Who are his donors? Are they all questionable types? Is it real? Hmmm.
Do the other candidates see him on stage and feel confident until they see his numbers for money?

“Americans are sick and tired of our broken borders and they know the other candidates are not serious about illegal immigration. Dr. Paul has proposed serious and substantative legislation to fix our immigration problems once and for all.
“Americans know Dr. Paul is the only candidate who has a real plan to go after the terrorists and provide a strong national defense, instead of spreading our military too thin across the globe.
“Finally, as Americans see the value of their dollar plummet, they know Dr. Paul has devoted his political career to stopping the inflation that makes it impossible for middle-class families to get ahead. Only Dr. Paul has a plan to cut spending, balance budgets and take care of people who have become dependent on government programs.
“Americans spoke loud and clear on December 16th. They want Dr. Paul’s solutions.”
