Ron Paul (R-TX) has just raised almost $6 million in less than 24 hours, beating his previous record of $4.3 million in one day, back on Novemeber 5. From THE WASHINGTON POST's blog, The Trail:
"Paul's online popularity, to the surprise (and envy) of other Republican campaigns, proves to be one of the most fascinating fundraising stories of the year. He's the only candidate, Republican or Democrat, to increase his fundraising haul with every quarter, raising $640,000 in the first quarter, $2.4 million in the second, $5.1 million in the third. And more than two-thirds of the money, his aides say, has consistently come from the Internet."
In 2002, before the invasion of Iraq, Congressman Ron Paul (R -TX) appeared on NOW WITH BILL MOYERS and explained why he was not yet convinced that an invasion was necessary and justified:
"Well, I think that President Kennedy gave us a pretty good idea of what we should do. He had to deal with some tough times.
As a matter of fact, the various presidents had to deal with the Soviets. They had 50,000 nuclear warheads, and they had tremendous power, and they brought them 90 miles off our shore. And not once did we think that confrontation was a good idea."
