Everyone is taking Hedge Fund (super investment machines) donations but Ron Paul. He is the only one. Hedge Fund Managers are courting the candidates to get them to do what they wish and to not tax them! Ironically the most funded are the Dems, but both parties are taking huge donations and are entertaining them. When in office they will have to repay these exuberant donations one way or another! I guess John McCain sees this as being "outside" lobby restrictions! Hypocrites!
It's these things that go under our noses during the debates!
Happy Holidays!

To people who wonder who's posting all these "propeganda" for Ron Paul I say this: We're not just one person sitting at his computer. We're a whole lot of republicans,democrats and independants who are sick of candidates who live and vote one way, but when it comes to running for high office, they say another. We're not using propeganda, we're telling the truth about our favorite candidate, and stating our opinions about him. As Americans It's our right to do so. Don't like it? Don't read it. Simple.
ps Jennifer, I just LOVED your adorable answer a couple of questions ago:
"Ron Paul is just straight-up nerdy and that is what we need!"
It made me smile and I gave you a huge thumbs up! ;o)

I'm registering Republican to vote for Ron Paul in the primaries. He has more $$$ in the bank than McCain and is gaining support faster than any other candidate. Good point about power to the executive. I think it was Cheney's priority, although he's not part of the executive or any other branch of govt. He's Dick Cheney, in his own universe where information can not get in or out.

There has never been a single president or candidate in this country who wasn't a big, fat liar! Even Abe Lincoln had to of told his fair share of lies. Promises that when they got elected, they either changed their minds about, procrastinated too long and it did not get done or they could not convince congress to support them on it. Even some things they said, just because they knew the public wanted to hear them say it. They are all in it for them selves and not us. It is that simple.
Lets stick to the biggest issue in my opinion, the next president better do some thing about the gas prices. Bring them down for good and/or make cars that don't use gas at all! If they don't make that promise, or at least lie and convince people that they will, I won't vote for them any way.

As a veteran...I am giving myself the right to vote for whatever, and whomever I choose. Guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. Always guarded, and defended by our past, and current veterans of the Armed Forces. Remember...It is not Judge Judy, nor Attorney Cochran , nor a "hippie" from the 60's, and 70's!!! It is the veteran! lol If I had to choose between him, and Hillary. I would choose Rudy, and I don't even like him!!!

So where does it show that Ron Paul has no hedge fund money? The article doesnt even mention half the candidates or more including him.

You sound very green. You think that the fact that Ron Paul is not taking "money" he will not have to repay anything? You truly believe that whoever gets elected president will have complete power of decision? Listen the president doesn't simply do whatever he wants. more then often he does what he is told to do. The president is not God, just a man with a mandate and a bunch of people working for him, with him and around him. Ron Paul just like any other candidate will have to give in to get support one way or another. We are no longer ruled by a president we are ruled by a conglomerate of politicians/corporations. Welcome to the real world of politics.

Jennifer, I wish I could give you a Christmas present just for paying attention and for saying nice things about Dr. Paul. I know, Dr Paul has a problem with his speaking skills, but his ideas are good for the USA and I only hope he can go the distance. Thanks for the link . . .
