Ron Paul Fails in Record Bid

Laughable.

Ron Paul… even with the money games such a claim would invariably have attached to it, failed in his attempt to raise $10M USD in one day.

Of course, in the press, no mention that it was a failed attempt to get $10 million in… rather the press is NOW all excited:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, aided by an extraordinary outpouring of Internet support Monday, hauled in more than $4.2 million in nearly 24 hours.

Paul, the Texas congressman with a libertarian tilt and an out-of-Iraq pitch, entered heady fundraising territory with a surge of Web-based giving tied to the commemoration of Guy Fawkes Day.

Fawkes was a British mercenary who failed in his attempt to kill King James I on Nov. 5, 1605. He also was the model for the protagonist in the movie “V for Vendetta.” Paul backers motivated donors on the Internet with mashed-up clips of the film on the online video site YouTube as well as the Guy Fawkes Day refrain: “Remember, remember the 5th of November.”

Paul’s total deposed Mitt Romney as the single-day fundraising record holder in the Republican presidential field. When it comes to sums amassed in one day, Paul now ranks only behind Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton, who raised nearly $6.2 million on June 30, and Barack Obama.

I know I’m not supposed to ask this… How many days did they record NO income, for the purpose of stacking it on the ‘record’ day? And you still missed the target by over half the stated amount? And the press spins this as a victory?
Comon, guys… don’t insult our smarts, huh?

We appear to have made the New York Times, with this post. Interesting. But they get the questioning wrong:

Anybody working for the Rudy-Fred-Mitt power trio has to wonder why the Republican base is so hungry for these other choices.

Objection, your honor… Assumes facts not in evidence.  This isn’t the base, but a lot of people from outside the party. Ask yourself; Would Ron Paul be doing even this well… falling halfway short of his stated goal.. if the Republicans had their way? Why are so many supporters of Ron Paul, coming from traditionally wacked out left wing groups?

Except for the Nazis, of course…

OTB traffic jam

Update II: Attention Ron Paul idiots. I’ve already told you no.

I MEAN no.
