Now that really is funny. He probably is going to have to win somewhere first.
Ron Paul has a nice racket going. Ostensibly, he is raising cash on the premise of running for office. An office he has no chance of winning. Perhaps, his conscience will move him to refund all donor cash and apologize to supporters for this trainwreck laughingly called a campaign. There is still hope 2012 will be a great year as Obamacare and Ron Paul go away. Hard to tell which poses the greater threat: full-on socialism or libertarian gimmickry.
But some think he is winning.
I tell folks not to be fooled by Ron Paul's mild-mannered demeanor. His policies are a threat to America's national security, world peace and little children on every continent. Sally Struthers should kick Ron Paul's shins for the danger of his decriminalization of illicit drugs. Imagine drug-frenzied kids paying homage to Saint Paul of Texas as they light up a crack pipe. I think Sally could take Ron down, but I am not advocating for that to happen.
I don't think there is too much to worry about. He would have to win something and that hasn't happened.

Are you always this ignorant, or is today special? It's obvious you're letting the neo-con fearmongers feed you news bites. Do your own homework.
Ron Paul supporters can be so nasty. Lighten up, T-Hawk. I enjoy poking fun at Ron Paul. Stop the personal stuff. You're establishing a trend of nasty remarks.
I just think it is something the doctor put in their koolaid. It actually has some of them thinking he is going to be a president. Pretty hilarious on so many levels. I actually like some of his positions but that is a long way from whether he is electable or not.
Don't hold your breath. Some people have asked why he keeps running, especially on the GOP ticket - all one has to do is follow the money. His operation seems very similar to those of Jimmy Swaggart, Jim & Tammy Faye Baker or maybe even the Rev. Sun Myung Moon; appeal to a fanatically dedicated segment of the population who are attracted by the sermons preaching (in this case) libertarian ideals. All he needs to turn them into reality is for those in the flock to send him their money. It does stand to reason he would hire family members whom he can trust - to not be whistleblowers.
The article in the OP really brings some things into focus, especially the part about collecting receipts for every insignificant item. I especially like the last paragraph about 119 receipts from the Kum & Go gas station in Ankeny, IA. Now, if that's from somebody that was stationed there for 10 or 12 months it might be plausible. Surely someone's not padding their expense account?

He probably won Iowa & Maine. That those elections were stolen skewed everything since.

When the last chance for freedom is at stake, it's time to get nasty.

Probaby is just that. Same thing Santorum said on Iowa stating he won. I don't know the actual truth as to whether they were stolen elections but do know the results. The results are what they are regardless of where you look.

Well, yeah, just like how a cop or judge can be wrong, but they've got the guns and what they say is what's going to go on the record.
Iowa & Maine were probably stolen but those are the totals that are going to go in the history books.
Just remember it in the near future when you're trying to light a fire with a couple sticks to keep your family warm, it didn't have to be that way.
2012: Ron Paul or not at all.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
