The First Amendment isn't there to protect our right to discuss the weather.
Try coming up with anything in oh the last decade? You don't because you can't. Show me a candidate that accurately predicted the Housing bubble fully 4 years before it happened.
Think Progress has about as much credibility as World News Daily and Alex Jones. So that source is rejected as a partisan propaganda rag.
The Washington Post even provided the following in it;s article:
Since 1988 when he ran as a Libertarian we have exactly ONE questionable incident. Otherwise it goes like this:
Married to the same woman longer than you've been alive.
Gives back nearly 100K of his house budget annually.
Return nearly Half if his Salary to the Treasury
NEVER voted for a tax increase
NEVER voted in favor of passing an unbalanced budget
Doesn't even meet with Lobbyists
97% of the money raised is from individual donors
Somehow I don't think when IAM Membership declines that Buffenberger gives back a portion of his Salary
Ron Paul's supporter haven't beaten any rivals unlike the IAM in PHL
Numerous Desertification filings
Approximately 50 DFR Complaints pending
Shall I continue?
Shall I continue?

the 'If so' qualifier says he might.
If you read everything SH says about him he also has wings.

You have yet to prove that the "overwhelming number of active military donate to Ron Paul". All you have done is make the claim. No evidence that the majority of the 1,431,403 active duty military personel actually support him. Here are actual numbers US Army $81,255, US Navy $60,369 and USAF $59,606 for a total of $201,230. That means if every member of armed forces contributed to Ron Paul it comes to a total of .14 cents per service member. Please tell me how this is proff that the overwhelming majority of active duty personel contribute to Ron Paul? Just another case of a Ron Paul supporter twistig facts and words to make it look like their guy is already picking out drapes for the Oval Office.

So the point here is to belittle? As usual.

First, your analysis is flawed in so many ways I was tempted to dismiss it out of hand. It ignores the basic principles of statistical analysis and is essentially a straw-man argument. The bottom line is this. No matter how you slice it he gets more money from active military then all other candidates COMBINED,
Now what we don't know is that $200K, 200,000 donations of #1 each or 1 donation of $200K? Clearly the number is someplace in the middle and no matter where in the middle it lives the bottom line dollars collected far exceed that of others. There is nothing to spin. A fact is a fact. You want to sift through the thousands of donor who are active military and come up with an accurate average per candidate? Have at it because at the end of the day you average number you posted is meaningless except for pushing your agenda.
Military or not here is all you need to know regarding Ron Paul. I found a picture for you so as not to overwhelm you and others.

So pointing out when someone is twisting facts to support their argument is belittling? Seems to me it's pointing out when someone is twisting facts.
Hmm.....Let he who has not sinned, cast the first stone.

Dell,
Answer me this please.
If you make $78,532 this year and I make $53.483 which one of us made more money?
If you work for a company that has 13,000 employees and I work for one that has 89,000 employees how does that effect your earning?
If Ron Paul collects $210,000 in donations from active military and Barack Obama collects $93.000 who collected more money?
Now then did I miss something?

You missed the part where you have not shown any supporting evidence that the majority of 1.4 million servicemen support Ron Paul. Not that it really matters one way or another since Ron Paul is on his way to being a three time loser.

Ever hear of "Put your Money where your mouth is" Well the amount of money donated at minimum is a measure of support for a candidate. I still maintain it all depends how you define Victory.
I've said it ten times over that anything that is over 15% is a victory because he is positioned to be a power broker. He needs enough delegates to force a brokered convention. He has the entire political structure against him and his net vote total over 2008 has doubled or better, 50% of those who vote for him are under 30 and that means the Liberty Movement continues after he's worm food. OWS and Tea Party are starting to warm to the message if not the candidate.
I think you'll see a President Paul just not one named Ron.
