Ron Paul Revolution Raised Over $4 Million on November 5th!

by Alex on November 6th, 2007

Yesterday, Ron Paul broke this year’s single day republican fundraising high by raising more than $4 million! This topped Mitt Romney who back on Jan. 8th raised $3.14 million which he managed to quickly blow by running ads to tell everyone who he was. From what I gather he is some really rich Mormon dude who used to run liberal Massachussetts, supports big government by wanting to double Guantanamo Bay and has his four over privileged sons “roughing it” by riding around on his campaign bus.

Anyways, part of the November 5th drive for Ron Paul was invoking the memory of Guy Fawkes, an anti-protestant terrorist who back on June 5th, 1605 threatened to blow up the British parliament and assassinate King James I. Ron Paul supporters truly believe that Ron Paul represents a revolution in this country, and he truly is like Che Guevara because “Che” was a doctor too. 

So now that they have risen over $4 million in one day, the Ron Paul campaign is shooting for Hillary Clinton’s overall record of $6.2 million back on June 30th. And considering that on Monday alone, Ron Paul managed to garner an additional 21,000 donors who knows.  

I personally have not donated a cent to any of the candidates and now that Stephen Colbert has not been allowed on South Carolina’s democratic ballot, I figure what’s the point? But I know that my sister and her boyfriend have donated $100 each to the Ron Paul “revolution.” And my sister has attended some rallies and has a Ron Paul hat and Ron Paul wristbands. In fact, she was in Borders one day drinking coffee and upon seeing my sister wearing her Ron Paul hat, one girl asked, “so your part of the revolution too?”

Now that Ron Paul has raised $6.8 million in the first 5 months of this quarter it will be interesting to see if this finally starts to reflect in the polls as even Mike Huckabee is ahead of him. Paul has raised all this money with a largely thrifty campaign and loyal internet following spamming the news of him.

Who would have thought that at the next republican debate it could be John McCain asking Ron Paul if he can spare a few extra bucks to keep his campaign staff? And on one last sidenote, Ron Paul says he does not support blowing up buildings.
