In a recent letter to his supporters, presidential candidate Ron Paul detailed his two favorite moments of the Florida Republican debate: one involved John McCain and the other, an admission by Rudy Giuliani. Paul wrote in a campaign letter to his supporters: "I mean this: mainstream politicians NEVER attack an opponent they think is far behind. The McCain campaign, we've heard, is worried sick about New Hampshire, and they thought a slam at me would help. Ha! Of course, it only strengthened our forces." Strengthened indeed: within two days after the debate was held his campaign warchest brimmed over the $10 million mark. Undoubtedly the exchange with Senator John McCain over foreign policy also played a role in the uptake in funds.
His other favorite moment was when, after the debate, Rudy Giuliani "walked up to me and said, 'Oooh, you sure have a LOT of supporters.' It's only the beginning, I told him." He went on to describe the carnival-like atmosphere of the event, with only a handful of Romney supporters present, and virtually no supporters showing up for other candidates: "We, on the other hand, had about 500 enthusiastic revolutionaries, plus a boat, a trolley, and two planes towing lighted signs. As I looked out at the crowd, I thought: the establishment has no idea of what they are facing. We have an army of freedom, prosperity, and peace."
Paul also mentioned the recent Los Angeles Times article in which the author of the piece warned media-annointed "frontrunners" that "the British also thought they had no problem with the Americans -- until Yorktown."
Seems the revolution is in full force, and McCain feels the threat. Ron Paul is right: presidential candidates rarely waste their time attacking fellow candidates unless they perceive them as a viable threat to their own bids for the White House. I cheered when I watched the debate live and saw John McCain take a jab at Ron Paul, even invoking the name of Hitler in his attack. We all know what that usually means: John McCain is getting desperate, and is being put to shame by Ron Paul's campaign fundraising prowess. John McCain mentioned Hitler to get attention; Ron Paul responded with an uncomfortable fact for McCain and other neocons: Ron Paul has more money from active military donations than any other candidate running for president. That's got to hurt someone like McCain -- you could see the pain in his face as he listened to Ron Paul bombard him with the truth. Looks like Rudy might be following. My problem with Rudy is, the more he realizes that Ron Paul is one of the most well-funded candidates running in the GOP race, and also has bar none the most enthusiastic grassroots supporters out there, what kind of thuggish tactics can we expect from his supporters in the weeks to come?

Ron Paul will easily win if the votes are counted. Vote fraud is a serious concern in the day. Ron Paul is simply the people's choice. While the bankers and CEOs may not want him, the rest of thinking America does.
Ron Paul can no longer be labeled a "long shot" candidate as he absolutely dominates in the Straw Polls, Debate Polls, Fund Raising, Web Traffic and Grass Roots Networking and is clearly a "top tier" candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination.

Rudy's supporters? What supporters? Where are they cause I can't seem to find any. And if you happen to be one you just might want to check out http://therealrudy.org its a real eye opener as to who Rudy really is. Thanks for the great article.
Hmmmmm, that sounds like a president, I guess Rudy is employing people to post his link, well here is one for ya.
And John Mccain is an idiot, I would have picked a better time to attack ron paul on foreign policy, I thought the question was about taxes. He is very dumb. Go Ron
Remember, remember the 5th of November
The moneybomb blew them away
It was all the media could say
But a small bomb it was - that was because
Of what followed in forty one days
It was all the media could say
With Liberty stirred with our faithful word
Boston’s Tea Party again held sway
We yelled with our money - “Freedom’s not funny”
We shouted - “Moneybombs away!”
Remember, remember the 16th of December
We the people will have our say
For America, for the world, for all boys and girls
It’s a very, it’s a very fine day

I so detest the question asked Dr. Paull, "Would you connsider running as a independant", or the other that boils my blood, "Who would you support?". I ask myself why don't they ask Fred, Huck, Rudy, or Mitt? Ask them! I want it to sink in that Ron is on their heels! And gaining! The other candidates are waking up in cold sweats. God bless Ron Paul. God bless America.
