[shrugged0106]

There is still 5.5 hrs to go and we've beaten our previous record.

glass half full much?

We are at Nov 5th with 5 1/2hrs left

You kidding, we will get about 6M

[Mandrik]

Yeah, I know I'd be disappointed if I wanted $10 million dollars in 24 hours but only had over 4 million with 6 hours to go.

:rolleyes:

[shoms_w]

7M+ sir. Money still on the sidelines :)

It's a valid question. Don't be rude. C'mon.

[LibertyEagle]

damn, what a HORRIBLE day...

Horrible? We've broken all the records AGAIN. How is that horrible?

[ross11988]

To tell you the truth I am disappointed also. Why did this happen? I dunno, but the good thing is that we are over the Q4 goal and we will probably make 20 million for the Quarter. We did what we could

[grfgerger]

It's a valid question. Don't be rude. C'mon.

how is it a valid question?

there was a goal of 100,000 subscribers but some people artificially inflated actual dollar expectations.

5 million+ in a single day is not disappointing in the least

[Wingman]

actually its a Magnificent Result!!

remember that the usual approach is to aim a bit high and stretch ourselves.

[Ozwest]

Nice thread.

Thanks for coming home and being a righteous prick.

now seriousyl were's the 10 million we were suppose to make

[stefans]

now seriousyl were's the 10 million we were suppose to make

why don't you look for them at the same place the 100,000 pledges are!

[Ozwest]

The Ron Paul grassroots has donated their hard earned, and has made him the highest earner this quarter of any of the Republicam candidates... without money from lobbyists and big business.

And we're supposed to cop shit from someone who knows sweet FA.

I've had a gut-full of you gut-less wonders!

If you are not a troll, then you are an idiot. Personally, I'd rather be a troll.

[tnvoter]

I haven't even made my 2nd donation yet. :)

[Ozwest]

I haven't even made my 2nd donation yet. :)
Please do.

Respect.

[JosephTheLibertarian]

It's a valid question. Don't be rude. C'mon.

Valid question? Not really. Maybe to you.

[Delain]

sometimes u gotta stop living in ur RP fantasy world and realize the facts


lol

And what *facts* would that be?

The fact that no other candidate has this much support and couldnt possible pull off something like this? Let alone twice in one quarter.

We're blowing everyone out of the water and you are whining... :o

Are you just trying to cause trouble. Or what?

we need to start right now redonating or we will miss the single day record!

That would look very bad

[icon124]

what im trying to say is....everyone here acts like RP is god or something and if someone doesn't like him then they are crazy and so forth, now wonder some ppl get tired of this stuff...RP "supporters" (def. not all of you, but the it only takes a few to give a bad name) attack ppl left and right...u guys may be the reason why some ppl don't support RP...you need to calm down and stop getting so defensive about every little thing in the RP world...no go donate some money.

[ronpaulitician]

Note that the November 5th goal was $10 million as well.

Getting another million or so would be great, but anything between $5 and $6 million is definitely not disappointing.

I am sorry we just failed miserably. This whole thing has been a waste of time.

[TheNewYorker]

I'll have to agree with the OP. I'm a bit disappointed myself. We aren't going to break Kerry's record. I was pretty sure that was the plan.

The media is going to report our failure tomorrow. This will not be good.

In about 5 minutes, 5 million will have been donated today.

Some media will. Most media will just report, and some will even be impressed.

I hope there was some sarcasm there I am not detecting.

1)Kerry got that on the day he got the nomination...so its not a "primary fund raiser" Like this is.

2) there was noting reported about a failure on Nov. 5th.


I cant believe what I am hearing....

Except for the fact that Ron was told we would exceed 11-5 by quite a bit and he reported on that in at least a couple of interviews on the MSM. He made a statement about how much, but I won't say, because I don't remember the exact thing he said.

[LibertyEagle]

We still have time left. We can pull this thing out. :)

There were by some hit websites with the old version of the website

The 10mil goal was removed when they saw donations wouldn't make it

Now I come home and the dishes aren't done!

what have you ppl been doing all day while I was at work? just lounging around on the couch? I work hard all day and you lazy good for nothings just lay around and expect me to do all the work!

LOL!!

Sorry MOM!

Wow! First try to downplay this day while its still going and now lecturing how bad "u guys" are. :rolleyes:

Rudy.. is it you?

[TheNewYorker]

Ron Paul said we would exceed 11-5 by "a couple million possibly".

I'll take that as 2 million over the 4.3 million we raised.

We need to hit at least 6.3 million. If not we PHAIL.

[Ozwest]

Last time I looked, there was still four and a half hours left in the day.

Why don't YOU see what might be done about that before YOU smother everyone with your defeatist attitude.

[pacelli]

Thank you to everyone who is disappointed. You just motivated me to double my donation last hour.

[TheNewYorker]

Last time I looked, there was still four and a half hours left in the day.

And we are on the downslope. We are screwed unless a miracle happens.

[sparebulb]

And we are on the downslope. We are screwed unless a miracle happens.

Yea, your right Rudy, we're screwed. Let's just quit now.

[Ozwest]

And we are on the downslope. We are screwed unless a miracle happens.
How do I know that you're a man who obeys orders?

[anewvoice]

Can't we all just get along? Don;t worry, be happy, and other such drivvle.

Seriously though, we're over 5 million, and we're 9 DAYS AWAY FROM CHRISTMAS!

We're dominating during the worst time to try to do so.

We win.

[LibertyEagle]

How do I know that you're a man who obeys orders?

I'm sorry, but heh! :D

[werdd]

do not feed the trolls.

[rothnic]

I just put the graph in photoshop, and it looks like we are heading right for 6mil, so we'll at least beat Kerry. Hopefully with a push at the end we'll make up the 300,000.

[Drknows]

Nice thread.

Thanks for coming home and being a righteous prick.

I <3 this post

We're already well over the November 5th total.

Donations are still coming in at ~ $300K/hour. We've been within spitting distance of that rate since 10AM.

I donated til it hurt. Over $1K.

Looks like we should end up pretty close to $6M for the day in online donations.

We haven't counted the "offline" donations.

Still might beat the Kerry last-minute "cheater" donations. Possible, anyway.

[ursamajor]

what a failure.

[Valis33]

Seriously guys, get a grip.


We are on course to meet or beat records here, cheer up!

[eok321]

Unamazing....truly unamazing....

[parke]

Horrible? We've broken all the records AGAIN. How is that horrible?

I believe that was meant to be sarcasm.

Here is a thought. This is the second time in a little over 1 month that the grass roots will pull 10M+ in for Dr. Paul.:eek:

we need a very large and massive push to hit 6 million.

On target for 5.6 to 5.7 right now

Your expectations were WAAY too high. Thats something I feared is that people would blow it out of proportion. We are doing well.

[dude58677]

Setting big goals is what motivates us to raise so much. I remember when were setting really tiny goals such as $10,000 a day(this was back in march) and it didn't produce the results to be competitive in the race. When we set big goals, we ended up breaking records.

[wgadget]

$25K more and I'm in another $100...totaling $500 for the day.

[Cowlesy]

Guys - Perspective!

We are going to raise more in a single day than the campaign did for the entire freakin' 3rd quarter.

Cheer up!

Smiley Bomb for any of the negatives,i squash it with more positives;)
