Ron Paul Donation Shocks Media…
As of 10:47PM, Ron Paul has raised over $3.6 million dollars surpassing the $3.1 million from Mitt Romney. This is what the AP reported concerning this donation explosion, which has just appeared on Drudgereport.com:
The AP weighs in:
Paul’s total deposed Mitt Romney as the single-day fundraising record holder in the Republican presidential field. When it comes to sums amassed in one day, Paul now ranks only behind Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton, who raised nearly $6.2 million on June 30, and Barack Obama.Paul spokesman Jesse Benton said the effort began independently about two months ago at the hands of Paul’s backers. He said Paul picked up on the movement, mentioning in it speeches and interviews.
“It’s been kind of building up virally,” Benton said.
The $3.5 million, he said, represented online contributions from more than 22,000 donors.
Tomorrow, there will be more reporting of this historical event. This is what has been printed thus far:

And greetings to you…this is Uri Brito for our fourth Ron Paul podcast. You have just heard John Fund from the Wall Street Journal talking to Tucker Carlson about Mike Huckabee’s record. I would like to spend a few minutes further speaking about Huckabee’s record and then making a final observation as to why a Paul campaign is superior and far more conservative to the Huckabee message.

Ron Paul Podcast #3 – On Foreign Policy
Show #3: 911- Calling Dr. Ron Paul; save us from this senseless foreign policy.
Also included, a portion of Ron Paul’s response in the first presidential debate.
This podcast lasts 7 minutes. For previous podcasts go to archives.
Podcast Notes:
Today, I would like to speak about Ron Paul’s foreign policy. As anyone who has watched all the debates or even one of them will know, Ron Paul stands away from the pack. He opposes the neo-conservative agenda of policing the world and using force as a way to achieve peace. The idea of achieving Middle Eastern stability through the barrel of a gun is senseless and Paul has made that clear. Read more »

Ron Paul’s Podcast #1
Ok…so this one went about 10 minutes long… I will try to keep them between 5-7 minutes in my next one. I would love to hear your thoughts since this is my very first podcast. Leave me your comments or e-mail me at: apologus@hotmail.com
Show #1 – Topic: Response to Gary Demar and Bob Enyart
In this first program I spent some time answering to two opponents of the Ron Paul campaign. These are men I deeply respect, but disagree on this point.

Third behind Fred Thompson…
This is a strong showing in Texas. The bloggers at TownHall are having a blast mocking Ron Paul supporters. What can we expect from neo-cons? Do they realize that a third among ten candidates and a third among a very strict polling is a superb mark? Though others recognize his rock-star status.
Duncan Hunter won the straw poll, which on the negative side means he will not drop off the race yet. However, to his credit he did what candidates should do: show up and shake hands.
Fred Thompson, who will soon announce his candidacy early next week came in second, which reveals that his campaign is already in trouble before he starts the race.
Freedom under God…
What is unique about Paul’s message is that his support ranges beyond your typical right-wing voter. Paul brings people together under one slogan: freedom. However, we may understand freedom, from a Christian perspective freedom can only be had under Christ’s rule. It is true that under Ron Paul we may flee government control, but at the point we despise God’s control over our lives, we lose true freedom. Then what does it profit a man to gain worldly freedom and lose true freedom?
Ron Paul is interviewed by a bull-dog…
John Lofton is host of the American View. He calls himself a recovering Republican. I have met him several times, spoken to him on the phone, and corresponded via e-mail…the man is a bull-dog. When he sat at my lunch table at a conference a year ago, he barely talked and when he did, he had some harsh words to say about some of the speakers. It’s just how John is! The man worked for Goldwater and for various Republican candidates since then, and after being abused by the Republican party–perhaps betrayed–is a better word, John left the party and is recovering from years of substance abuse or promises abused.
Well, John the pit-dog or bull-dogg Lofton interviewed the great and honorable Dr. Ron Paul…as as always he didn’t back down. I am not sure Ron was expecting John’s style of interview…but again it’s just the way John is! John encouraged Ron Paul to preach to his fellow congress-men and to uphold God’s law and fight for righteousness and continue to defend the Constitution. Paul made some troubling statements in my opinion, particularly when he said he was not sure if homosexuality is a sin according to the Scriptures. I am not sure if too many years in Washington has eased his religious beliefs. Nevertheless, the interview was superb. Believe it or not, Ron has found his Constitutional match…John Lofton the Bull-dog. Here is the interview…
P.S. If you have never heard the American View, you are missing one of the most American, Constitutional, and Biblical programs on the internet.
Ron Paul 3%…
In a surprising (only for the media) new updated polling from Fox News, (this poll is based only on registered voters, so there is no possibility of scam) Congressman Ron Paul is up to 3% tied with Mike Huckabee. He is in 6th place assuming Newt Gingrich and Fred Thompson enter the race. As for Sam Brownback, his poor performance at the Ames Straw poll ( in light of the enormous amount of effort and money he spent) continues to have negative results. He is tied with Tom Tancredo with 1%. Sam, I think it’s time.
