Ron Paul 8 million left in bank

[Derek Johnson]

Jesse Benton said 8 mill left as of January 1st on Ron Paul radio.

Better donate more soon.

Not after Monday...FREE AT LAST!

 

[Jeremy]

Have any of you actually realized that there is no source in the op....

 

[bkreigh]

Not if that billionaire maxed out his $2300.

Ill give that billionaire my paypal address and he can put 1800 or so in there so i can max out. He probably wipes his ass with an 1800 dollarbill.

 

[FreedomLover]

8 million is still a good amount of money for super tuesday.

And remember that Ron Paul has an eccentric billionaire in his corner of the ring, and a grassroots campaign unmatched by anyone else!

 

[NoMoreApathy]

If it's true, stick a fork in us.

Especially after the MLK bomb does as poorly as it's shaping up to.

It was on rprradio

I heard it too

 

[amonasro]

8 million? WTF?!

What happened to the other 12 million?

multiple state HQs
paying staffers
legal fees
radio, TV, print advertising
grassroots coordinators
shenanigan-watching at primaries
coordinating to get RP's name on the ballot in every state
security
transportation, lodging
random expenses no one ever thinks of

...and the list goes on, anyone have others? This stuff adds up.

NEWS FLASH: Running a national presidential campaign is RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE

It will not get any cheaper, either. Keep donating, the MLK moneybomb is going to be HUGE!

Not a bad idea...thread of all our paypal account links?

Umm.. 12 million?

This revelation has dampened my spirits more than any caucus, primary, or hit piece.. This is seriously not good.

" Snyder, Kent 90,674.61"

for a Quarter..

that's a $360,000 yearly salary.

I wish I was Kent Snyder.

Edit; I lied.. I wish I was Sherrel Moore.

" Moore, Sherrel 116,751.66"

That's the price you pay for setting up the infrastructure (staffers in all states, offices, phone banks, etc) to run a national campaign.

The RP campaign is only one of maybe 3 or 4 other campaigns that can afford to do this. And it's all because of us.

 

[MN Patriot]

Ron Paul has a billionaire backer so we are in good shape.

yeah, right. The tooth fairy and Santa Claus will do our canvassing for us, so we can just sit back and let everything happen for us, all by itself.

 

[crink]

... whatever.... just keep fighting

I agree that it is expensive, but Huckabee has a fraction of the cash we have and he is so much higher than us IN EVERY STATE. The campaign has zero tv. ads in florida. Rudy from what i have been hearing "has been saturating the airwaves"...I heard on CNN he spent 3 million on t.v. time there. Why didn't we spend 3 million on t.v. time ANYWHERE. What state is Ron planning on breaking out in. Did his campaign beliee that magically everyone was going to drop out and the entire nation love him on one magical day? Why do we have field offices in so many states instead of getting on t.v. and not dumpy talk radio. We could overwhelm one state. For some reason they decide against it.

 

[Exponent]

As has been suggested, they've likely already purchased ad time, paid for the production of ads, et cetera. Don't everyone get all depressed so easily. Now I'm not saying that this is definitely the case, and I'll admit to being worried too, but we need some stability more than we need discouragement or panic. The mood swings that this forum experiences are wild!

your right i just needed that off my chest. I reallly hope they purchased airtime already becasue 8 million is not going to last at the clip they are spending money. I hope they "Go for broke" in one state. Just pick one like nevada and just saturate every minute of it so we can win and none of this 3 or 4th place crap.

He panders to evangelical dipshit sheeple.
