Ron Paul says he has 2.4 million cash on hand (3rd among GOPs)

[LibertyEagle]

Come on everybody. These are not disappointing results! Granted it is always nicer to have more than less, but put this in perspective. We have a solid base of volunteers that no other candidate has. We have the most frugal candidate. $100 raised for Ron Paul is probably the same as $1000 raised for "Trudy" Guiliani. Look at what happened when McCain overspent. When you take out Romney's loans he only has $1 million more than Ron Paul. And finally we have the best message. This is fantastic! [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]

Ron Paul could be the 2nd coming, however, if people are not aware of him and his message, it won't really matter. People know who Guiliani and Romney are. They do not know who Ron Paul is and why he is so wonderful.

I'm only saying this, because somehow we're going to have to do better. His message is not going to be spread by osmosis, or solely on the internet. I'm going to focus on calling the Iowa delegates, because that is something tangible I can do. Please join me if you can.

He's on the USA Today main page now

That's good, but in the article they note he's still lacking the polls. They link to their own polls which shows Ron Paul being more popular in April than he is today, which is clearly the reverse. Sad.

Guys, visit www.usatoday.com

Visit Ron Paul articles to encourage the mainstream media in posting them!

Let's see if Murdoch and Turner pick it up.

We will see. I'm extremely happy Drudge picked up on this...

I check his page frequently. I like the spin he puts on the news.

It's better than the Fox spin, or the New York Times spin.

Do you have any links to support this assertion?

Hahahaha

Research it yourself. Q2 ENDED ON 6/30. It is a fact. Do you know what a quarter is?

Q1: January February March
Q2: April May June

July 15th is just the required reporting date for April May June.

Yeah, he is right, not sure what leg you're standing on in this argument. Regardless...good news today!!!!!

Yes, but MSM campaign commercials cost the same, whether you are frugal or not.

MSM commercials are more expenseive for a candidate that raises money late in the season. Earlier reservations of airtime cost less.

I bet the $2.4MIL figure is what he raised on the date of 6/30 ALONE! I was there in Iowa that day, I was an usher. I saw the envelopes and how many people were there. 1,000 people X $2,300 each = $2.3MIL.

I bet that when the final Ron Paul Q2 donation tally is released on 7/15, it will be over $15MIL. In fact, I'll bet 2:1 odds to 5 people here that it will be more than $15MIL. I'll even bet 3:1 odds that the tally will be more than $30MIL to anyone who is willing to make $3 by putting up $1 if they do so within the next hour, limited to 3 takers.

My e-gold account is 2283869. I'll refund the payment to anyone who takes up the offer beyond the first 3 if they do show up within the next hour, and to any takers on the bet afterwards beyond 5. PM me if you're interested, I'll update on this thread if I get takers.

The other ad I saw said "The real Libertarian. Don't accept two party alternatives", clearly referring to Ron Paul. I'm going to contact the LP about this and threaten to never send them any money again if they don't put him on a leash.

The LP cannot and will not restrict someone from doing what is their right to do... What you suggest the LP do is no different the Saul Azusi, Failor, Beltram... IT is an ad. click on it. the forum gets paid.
I met Phillies, he is a bore. I don't like him... but i'm not going to demand he stop buying ads on google. That is his right. We should tolerate it.

I've had a government job before. I know about extensions. No links=no support for your assertion.

I'll take that bet, but we'll settle it after the numbers are released. I'm not going to transmit money to you on a bet that you are surely going to lose. How much do you want to bet?

I don't care if they promote him, but when they take deliberate stabs at Ron Paul like this, that ticks me off. He has a right to freedom of speech, but the LP can still put pressure on him to tone down the anti-Ron Paul rhetoric.

The LP isn't promotie George Phillies. George Phillies is promoting George Phillies. Lets get our facts straight before accusing the LP of underminding Ron Paul. The LP supports Ron Paul in the way Ron Paul wants us to support him. Silently, but through meet-ups.

Let me state this again: If the LP doesn't ask George Phillies to tone down his rhetoric, they're not getting any more money from me. I didn't say they were running the ads.

He's on the front page of ABC news, USA Today, and DrudgeReport.com

This is good stuff.

More media will eventually pick up on this as the story heats up.

Well, the $3 isn't quite enough to get you a pouch of Natural American Spirit Organic tobacco, but it well get you some Tops or Bugler if you're interested in spending what you win on the bet that way, provided that you win of course, which you won't. The official numbers for Q2 are going to be way bigger than the scoop that Ron Paul released.

I'll bet $1000 with you that RP will not collect more than $15 million in Q2 of this year. So that pays $3000 when I win, right?

Perhaps you missed this post because of the fast moving thread..here it is again... "The LP cannot and will not restrict someone from doing what is their right to do... What you suggest the LP do is no different than Saul Azusi, Failor, Beltram... IT is an ad. click on it. the forum gets paid.
