Ron Paul's Biggest Contributors is US Military

If I was in the Military I would support Paul too, I wouldn't have to worry about getting shot because we would never go to war.

Oddly, as a veteran, I most strongly disagree with Paul on foreign policy. The purpose of the military is to protect US interests, and Paul's foreign policy does not do this. I did not spend my time in the military just to draw a check from Uncle Sam, I spent my time in the military because I felt US interests where worth fighting for.

"Interests" is a rather broad generalization, yes? It can be used to excuse a lot of offensive, occupational wars which are none of our business. The US Military is here to protect US citizens and to preserve the sovereignty of the United States.

Of course it is broad. Narrow is rather useless. Can it be used improperly? Sure. However, the Paul isolationist roll back the 20th and 19th century plan goes way too far the other way.

It's not really an isolationist plan, just an anti-imperial one.
 
HOLY ****! Technical difficulties! It must be a conspiracy!!!11!ONE!!

The Internationalist Socialist Bankers Conspirators secretly meeting in Vienna panicking that the only Ron Paul stands between them and total world domination freaked when they saw that happening on CNN. So one of their command post operatives in one of their regional USA center immediately contacted their world communications satellite control center shouting "turn the satellites off! turn them all off!!"

This is the most important election and most decisive turning point in the history of the human race. Whether we are forever slaves or forever free will be decided in the next few weeks. If the Conspirators succeed in stopping Ron Paul all hope is lost and they will have everything. They will stop at nothing to stop Ron Paul.

There's a lot at stake. As soon as the election season ends Blitzer's ass is grass for daring to defy their strict orders and allowing even the few seconds of something positive about Ron Paul.

I agree completly with what you said. However several of my friends who have just enlisted are very scared about being deployed for the first time, so it is no suprise to me that some of them are supporters of Ron Paul. Are their soldiers who serve out of love of their country, of course. However there are plenty who join because they have limited options and the prospect of not having to worry about being deployed and killed seems like a pretty good deal.
 
NO proof has been offered that this claim spewed out by Ron Paul supporters is true at all. The "source" provided is just one of a thousand political websites. Now is the assertion of what such a trivial sum of money in relation to the size of the military that it means in terms of why it was sent anyway. It could be a few white supremacists in the military furious that there are African-American superiors daring to order them around.

I could use those numbers in the reverse to declare that it proves that 99.99 percent of those in the military oppose him and therefore refuse to send him a penny.

There are people who join the military as their best employment option who absolutely do not want to be in the military if it means they actually might have to be soldiers.

Every time there is a call up there will be those who howl 'I didn't sign up to fight!", when that is exactly what they did. So the very, very few who do send anything might just be malcontents who shouldn't have signed up for MILITARY service in the first place.

Because S Korea and Germany are so part of our empire...

It's pretty normal to be afraid before your first deployment.
 
Bankers love ALL politicians... bankers provide the grease to the political system.

And I love bankers. Without a banking system, our economy would suck.

You should pick a day on the calendar and advocate nationally for "Take your banker to lunch day" then. It might catch on.

I find it amusing that people love to demonize groups without understanding just what those groups do. "Bankers love him, OMGZorz", like being liked by a neccessary part of the economy is somehow bad.
