People who waited till the last hour are utter fools.

[tomcat]

Look at it now. There are begining to be problems with donating because so many people are rush-rush-rush to get it done.

If donations had been made starting around 10am - 12, then we would have had 2x the momentum we have.

Donating at midnight last night was a GIANT waste of momentum.

And people who wait til the last hour to donate are GIANT wastes of human beings

[mport1]

Yes. There was absolutely no reason to wait until now or even later on in the day.

[Valis33]

Agreed, morons. No reason at all to wait.

[wfd40]

i waited.. and my donation went through..

Maybe its all you guys with the site open watching the ticker go up??

[RobS]

And... you want people to do what about it? They're still donating to the same friggen cause you troll.

[DirtMcGirt]

there was a grenade bomb mention on ron paul radio, could be the cause

[olehounddog]

[JoeySweets]

We like Making a Final Push.

We're gonna Top 5.7 for Sure

[TheWhiteRider]

it doesn't matter what happened happened we still did awesome today no matter how it turns out

[mexicanpizza]

I wasn't planning on donating again. It was a decision we just made.

Don't talk down to people for donating. :D

Mercy for those 11th hour donors, please! ;)

[ChristopherBearkat]

I'd say it's a good sign the site's so busy. More fuel for the fire!

[travr6]

i waited.. and my donation went through..

Maybe its all you guys with the site open watching the ticker go up??

DING!

anyone who donated to Ron Paul is not a fool.
If you want to go that route then Ron Paul is a fool for knowing this was coming and not making sure the site was ready for it.

[zzxf]

And don't forget that a lot of these people are donating for the second or third time today and are being fueled by the last minute momentum. So get out and donate again!!!

[realitywiz]

Some folks already donated earlier but they're doing it again, which is a good thing. Final surge.

[stljim]

I just donated for the fourth time and didn't have any problems.

[ccannizzaro]

ahhh, isn't freedom great?

[dircha]

UTTER FOOLS, yes!

How dare they even support Ron Paul!

They can keep their stinkin' donations!

/sarcasm

Uhh, hello? Let's not call Ron Paul supporters who are intent on donating, "Utter Fools".

[mexicanpizza]

And don't forget that a lot of these people are donating for the second or third time today and are being fueled by the last minute momentum. So get out and donate again!!!

Exactly. I couldn't resist. Heck I might go again...!

[RonPaulCult]

I was out all day and didn't have time until now! Am I a moron? Shut your mouth ya jagoff

[NewEnd]

Somebody should ban that troll immediately.

[derekjohnson]

It may also have somethign to do with the two e-mails the campaign has sent out in the last few hours.

[hambone1982]

Chill with the moron calling. That doesn't help anything.

People are going to donate when they want to donate. Its their money.

[Copperhed51]

Sorry I decided to make a second donation today. Maybe I shouldn't have done that.

[markj]

Thank you all who donated no matter what time it was when you did it!

[JDeVriese]

Stop being such downers LOL -- we should be proud that we're flooding the campaign with donations

[Dequeant]

Exactly, STFU trolls.....

For one, it's our money, if you don't like how i spend it......well it really doesn't matter one bit now does it?

What, would you have donations stop at 11pm? Great strategy there genius.

[sparebulb]

And people who wait til the last hour to donate are GIANT wastes of human beings

The conservative in me applauds your enthusiasm, however, the liberal in me thinks that you are being a bit harsh on your fellow humans. The libertarian with me thinks that you aren't much of a libertarian when it comes to personal choice. But all three of me agree that freedom of speech is great.

[Steve4RP]

I welcome all donations: First, second, and thirds. Thank you procrastinators, morons, and lazy people you are all patriots and your funds are appreciated!

[aspiringconstitutionalist]

Yeah, I didn't think I was going to donate more, but I couldn't resist popping in another $30... sorry, it was a spur of the moment kind of thing :(

But there's no use bitching about it now--just have to go with the flow.

[Mark Mosconi]

I was afraid of the site getting bogged down by traffic later in the day, so I donated in the first 10 minutes.

[Mark Rushmore]

Go us.

[Regarius]

I don't know why anyone's surprised. A few others and I brought this up earlier when the server acted overloaded for a bit-midday at the peak of donations.. I believe the response from many was yelling back "It did not, you don't know what you're talking about, the server will be fine" over and over... as if wishing a thing to be true will make it true.

It was obvious donation #s would speed up at the end of the day... and they have. And, of course, the server is completely overloaded. Hopefully most of those who want to donate will be able to before midnight.

[RPSignbomb]

Look at it now. There are begining to be problems with donating because so many people are rush-rush-rush to get it done.

If donations had been made starting around 10am - 12, then we would have had 2x the momentum we have.

This post is a waste - are you really bitching about when people donate? SHUT UP

[derdy]

Just donated another $50 because I told some dude I'd match him earlier. $550 for the day!

[ConstitutionGal]

Oh! Put a sock in it you naysayer! I just donated for the second time today to try and help us reach our final goal and had NO problem!

For all of those who have been waitinn until the 11th hour - GO GET 'EM!! Let's top 6.3 mil and give the media something great to ignore us over!

[nimo]

How about a big handful of STFU! Its a free market!

[Cigaboo]

I agree that it was a bad idea for people who waited to wait. However, they still have good intentions and are trying to help the campaign. Also, some people who already donated are trying to give a last minute push that they hadn't planned on.

[NewEnd]

I was afraid of the site getting bogged down by traffic later in the day, so I donated in the first 10 minutes.

According to tomcat, you are stupid also.

:rolleyes:

"waste of momentum" he says.

:rolleyes:

tomcat should be banned.

[Richandler]

Between clogging the servers and dwarfing the total, YES, people who waited to donate are utter fools.

[justatrey]

Whos with me for $11.59 at 11:59 bomb???

[Matthew Zak]

take the wigit off the forum

[RPSignbomb]

According to tomcat, you are stupid also.

:rolleyes:

tomcat should be banned.


People who call for the banning of other's should be banned.

your words are the waste. go away troller :)

[blakjak]

For us to reach the goal of $10 million, the site would've had to handle this 'last hour' traffic the entire day.

[McDermit]

worst thread.

[Regarius]

People who call for the banning of other's should be banned.

So does that include you now too?


...


And me?

[kaleidoscope eyes]

Somebody should ban that troll immediately.
Really, he's totally harshing our mellow. ;)

[Jagwarr]

One of the most moronic threads I have ever read.

[dawnbt]

Ok, folks! Everyone grab your Paxil and take a handful! This has been a great day! Sit back and feel the LOVE!

[Patriot2572]

First, i didn't wait until now to donate. However, i wouldn't call them utter fools, or morons. Alot of meetup groups have plans to donate at 10, 1030, 11, 1130 etc... or so. Late? sure is. That being said, don't think they deserve to be degraded.

Got through just fine only two minutes ago. Since the swag I bought earlier counts, I had to go down to the penny to get the amount right...I think...I'm at either 2300 or 2400...oh well, off to federal prison if I made an honest mistake.

[richk]

Worst post ever

[Jagwarr]

I guess by Tomcat's (OP) logic no one should donate during the next week either, otherwise they are complete fools and should have learned about Dr. Paul sooner.

[GJ-CO4RonPaul]

I donated my first last night at 2AM EST and my double up just went through.

I may be foolish but I'm still doing my part to save America!


GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO

This is the most fun I've had spending money in a long time!

FUCK YOU MAN!!! NOONE WHO DONATES IS A GIANT WASTE OF ANYTHING!!! I SET A BUDGET FOR MYSELF I DONATED IT EARLY THIS MORNING...IVE BEEN KEEPING TRACK ALL DAY AND DECIDED TO GIVE A LITTLE MORE JUST NOW FOR A SMALL PUSH DOES THAT MAKE ME A WASTE OR ANYONE ELSE WHO DID THAT??? OR ANYONE AT ALL DONATING MONEY???

[gpickett00]

I just donated for the fourth time and didn't have any problems.

Not to criticize you for being generous but why did you donate 4 times? Instead of say, 1 or 2?

[ronpaulitician]

Thank you for your donation, all those who have just donated.

[davidt!]

Did you ever think that maybe people did donate early and are digging deep to try and donate some more before Midnight.

[silus]

And people who wait til the last hour to donate are GIANT wastes of human beings

Just remember, they are donating. You got that? Show some fucking respect! There is no place in this revolution to be attacking it from within.

[TomTX]

We already passed $6.2M - the widget didn't capture the offline donations when they were added.

The day started at $11.55M
We're now over $17.84M

Nearly $6.3M so far.

[Eric23]

geez, all you guys do is bitch...

shut up already... my donation went through

[plp]

Yess, these are my people.......



It is going to be an interesting campaign, to say the least.


Thanks to everyone for taking the time to donate.


Now, procrastinators of the world, unite! Sometime later.......

[Lance C Roseman]

No doubt, funny how you can spot idiocy a mile away after awhile hey? The entire friggin world has been waiting for America to wake up and it is, and then someone tries to stipulate the time and date of something! Here's a bit of Canadiana for those who think those donating 'late' (whatever that means) are fools...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Icb_tRTnA4g


Donate when and in whatever way you can people, this is OUR thingamajig, it need not have chuckleheadedness or tardiness excluded. Maybe it is time to get wyrd, or I've been up watching the bloody ticker go for too long...

[Cali4RonPaul]

What a sour attitude the thread starter has.. please keep your negativity to yourself.
