A circus clown, diet guru, exotic dancer, monetary architect and slacker in chief: These are some of the folks that help make Rep. Ron Paul’s presidential campaign the choice of individualistic voters.


Paul
Paul’s third-quarter financial disclosure report is sprinkled with supporters whose self-descriptions of their occupations are unusual, to say the least. Wade Talkington of Panama City, Fla., who donated $1,000 to Paul, lists his occupation as “tax slave to the Federal Govt.” Erik Hovden of Olalla, Wash., is the “Head slacker in Chg” at Simpson LLC, and housewife Pamela Schuberg of Moorpark, Calif., a $2,300 donor, lists her employer as “our children.”

Donald Cowles lists himself as self-employed and his occupation as simply “Capitalist.” On the opposite end, David Cameron of San Jose, Calif., lists his employer as “Looking for Work” and his job as “Unemployed.” Still, Cameron has given a total of $1,900 to the campaign.

Griswold Draz of Wellfleet, Mass., a $500 donor, is a self-described “curmudgeon,” and Andrew Maul of Pittsburgh, Pa., is a “Citizen Fighting Tyranny.” Others are more coy. James Harper of Vancouver, Wash., a $600 donor, offered “guess? ;)” as his occupation.

Starchild, a San Francisco-based escort and exotic dancer who ended up on Paul’s list as “Star Child,” contributed $300. Starchild, formerly Chris Fox, is a perennial Libertarian candidate in the Bay Area, having run unsuccessfully for district supervisor, the state assembly and the school board. Self-described monetary architect Bernard Von Nothaus, who has said Paul is the “Internet’s favorite presidential candidate,” has created a $1 Ron Paul coin and is listed in the disclosure report as giving a $2,300 in-kind contribution of coins.

Raw Food Diet activist Roger Haeske contributed $500, as has Jim Punkre, co-author of “The Fast Food Diet,” among other books. In the second quarter, self-described circus clown Eric Blair of Greeneville, Tenn., gave $2,300

Given his support base, the only threat he poses is apparently to one’s sanity. It’s just amusing to make fun of the Bircheresque Crank and his cultish supporters

All of them, they've invaded like cockroaches.

The tone of your question is obvious on your "information". Why are Obama supporters so afraid to allow opponent indications, particularly Ron Paul be on exhibit? RP takes faraway from GOP votes extra desirable than Obama's and could't harm the share of vote via dependable Obama supporters. indications play one in each and every of those small functionality in how human beings vote. i do notcontinual via an opponent to my decision and get a final minute whim to alter. Why might absolutely everyone. human beings stealing and vandalizing indications and commercials are dropping their means too. It makes little difference to how human beings vote. that's that one in each and every of those Marxist/Communist/Dictatorial sounding question!

ummm what is your point? Are you trying to prove that all Ron Paul supporters are crazy people working for weird jobs or just silly in answering who or where they work for?
All those people you mentioned didnt raise the $5 million that was raised in Ron Pauls campaign... the ones you listed are not even a fraction of the people who actually donated what he has for his campaign.
So please again what is your point?

how many farmers, truck drivers, policemen, soldiers, bankers, lawyers, accountants, or other normal hardworking americans were on the list of supporters?
or did you take the names listed because they were exceptional to "prove" that all of Dr. Pauls supporters were wackos
for all the supporters of Dr. Paul
it appears that the ultra libs and the neocons are getting scared by his message of truth and patriotism

Great! These people are much better than the horrific amoral thieves such as the Pharm companies that own our government.

Imagine someone not bought and paid for by Lockheed Martin, or the Pharm companies. People with MBAs who are filthy rich and steal/kill for more are far more evil than the worst average citizen. Yet these are the very ones that our politicians answer to.

How many times are you going to copy and paste that? Give us a break. Paul's got more credibility and honesty than the rest of the GOP candidates combined and tripled.
