I'd like confirmation

[samforpaul]

During Ron's 08 Presidential Run I recall hearing someone call Sean Hannity and say that Ron got more donations from the military than any other candidate. Could someone verify this?
Thanks.

Absolutely happened, at least in one of the quarters. Can't source it, but I'm very positive of it.

It was probably our own Derek Johnson, who frequently calls neocon squawkers like Hannity and Levin and tries to bring a little truth onto the airwaves.

Is this what you're looking for?

or

from the Air Force Times:


From January 2007 through March of this year, service members or civilian employees of the military donated at least $766,000 to presidential candidates, according to data made available April 20 and provided by the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit research group in Washington.

The analysis included donations of at least $200 made by individuals who listed their employer as one of the four branches of the military — Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps — or the Coast Guard, National Guard, Army Air Force Exchange Service, armed forces or military.

During the reporting period, Paul — a former Air Force surgeon who broke with his party to vote against the Iraq war — received the most military contributions, with $201,271.

That’s significantly more than the presumptive Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain from Arizona, who received $132,133 from military donors, according to CRP.

Thanks Lafayette and RSLudlum. I feel more equipped now when people poo-poo Ron's position on Iraq.
