You all laughed at me when I said 100 million

[Paul4Prez]

I'm expecting the Tea Party to bring in around $7 million, but $100 million isn't as outlandish as it sounds.

Even if Ron Paul is only at 5% in the polls, that would be around ten million American adults who support him. If half of them gave just $20, you'd reach $100 million in a day.

That may be extremely unlikely, but if we can get five million people (or more) to the polls for the primaries, Ron Paul could well be the Republican nominee.

btw, to the OP, we're still laughing at you, incase you hadn't figured that out yet

 

[Midnight77]

We can do it. $100 Million. Woot. Woot.

If Ron Paul made 100 million in a day, he could go buy a small country and we could all live there, no need to run for president here. That way we could be safe and sound when the economy collapsed and we could scream "We told you so!" from afar.

I've never seen any legitimate prosperity come to anyone from wishful thinking or prayers, however. Boots gotta hit the road sometime...

Won't work. We'd be invaded by the US for not complying with UN Resolutions

Paul's Paradise = Galt's Gulch

Who is John Galt?

Who is John Galt?

With all do respect why don't you search the internet first?

Ask not if 100 million is doable...

instead...ask urself if National Media Awareness of an anti-tax..anti-war...anti-big government "donation protest"...can be created by using the MSM.....

take care of that...and rest CAN happen


open ur mind to the possibilities...GET THE MSM BUILDING THIS UP!

Its "Old Media" not "MSM"

$100 million would be logistically impossible. They would need to have like 20 servers to handle the bandwidth. But it's nice to think big.

with all due respect, did CableNewsJunkie happen to mention that his first name was "John" ?

The question "who is John Galt" is much like, (even if along a different 'spirit') than the question "who is Ron Paul."

But please forgive me for expecting people to pick up on the subtlety of it all...

I picked it up. One person made a stupid reply to you, and you convert that to 'people are unsubtle'? Many of us are fully aware of the subtle reference in "Who is Ron Paul?".

Or, in the words of Luke Skywalker... "I care."

 

[GunnyFreedom]

i know i know .... apologies for the broad brush. that was stupid of me. or if not stupid, then at least selfish - allowing myself to feel slighted because someone spoke before they thought. Sorry.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

There is a lesson to be learned here. my response would have been more powerful if I had just snickered at Man from La Mancha without trying to "defend" what I had said. This is much like how Ron Paul operates. People who know, would have known, and people who didn't know would have looked it up. The end net effect would have been more potent than the approach I actually took.

I'm of the opinion that we can look at the Meet-Up groups' numbers and multiply it by 10, in terms of people that are likely to support Paul enough to donate.

That number is currently almost 86,000. Times 10 equals 860,000.

Some people don't "do" politics. Some don't do the internet. Some don't do contributions. But we can change the first one and the last one.

We should attempt to double the meet-up groups' membership between now and the "Super Tuesday".

 

[DeadtoSin]

Honestly, I still don't see it being anywhere near 100 million. 15 million tops, but as high as we can reach is just peachy to me!

 

[noiseordinance]

I project $4,000 dollars. That's right. $4,000.

that meetup total includes lots of duplicates, such as myself. I'm in 5 meetup groups.

$100 million and i am still laughing.

 

[maeqFREEDOMfree]

i'll be hapy when we set a new record of online fundraising. I'd be especially happy if we end this quarter with more money raised than Mitt Romney's campaign has this quarter... (he loaned the campaign an additional 17+mil from his own personal fortune)


that'll put a smile on my face
