Ronポールを信じる$4.3百万理由

オレンジ・カウンティーの記録の社説

これが主流媒体および共和党の確立の注意を得なければ、であるちょうど把握することは困難かものが-本当らしいことは先生のさらにもっと劇的な開発が。 大統領職のためのRonポールの操業はまだ来ることである。

大ニュースはそのRonポール、テキサスからの10言葉の共和党の国会議員であり、自由意志論者およびconstitutionalistの考えのための長い間のstandard-bearerは- 24時間の期間の…、他のどの共和党の候補者もよりより多くのお金を-かなりの量上げた。 Some 37,000 people, 21,000 of them new donors, contributed $4.3 million to Ron Paul’s campaign Monday, Guy Fawkes Day.

Guy Fawkes Day? Go rent the DVD of “V for Vendetta” to gain an insight into the spirit that moves the Ron Paul revolution.

The previous single-day fundraising record for Republicans was held by Mitt Romney, who raised $3.14 million last January, when he held a “national call day.” Barack Obama on the Democratic side has raised more money in a single day, and Hillary Clinton raised $6.2 million on June 30. But Paul is the single-day champion among Republicans.

Dr. Paul surprised the political world by raising more than $5 million in the third quarter, and his campaign set a goal of raising $12 million by the end of the year. As of Tuesday afternoon it had raised $7.396 million, so that goal, which seemed utopian a month ago, looks as if it will be surpassed easily.

“What was striking to me,” Lew Rockwell of the Mises Institute in Auburn, Ala., who’s a longtime friend and associate of Dr. Paul, told us, “is that this was entirely a volunteer event. It was conceived, designed and run entirely by volunteers. A normal campaign that tried a one-day fundraising event would have had weeks of top-down coordination and a huge staff manning the phones. This was an example of bottom-up spontaneous order.”

So what does it mean? We believe it shows a considerable constituency not just for ending the war in Iraq, which Dr. Paul opposed from the beginning, but for an honest candidate who says what he thinks rather than what has been poll-tested, and for the kind of constitutionalist, limited-government philosophy that many Republicans and conservatives (as well as libertarians) used to think they supported.

In short, there’s a hunger for liberty among young and old of all races and backgrounds, and many are willing to put their money where their mouth is. Ron Paul has been the catalyst, but he has awakened a growing group of Americans whom standard-issue politicians will no longer be able to ignore.
