These guys have been giving me hell about Ron Paul being fringe. So, this morning I posted this:

52.53%of contributions from the armed forces to 1 candidate! Edit | Reply

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You guessed it! Ron Paul has received 52.53% of all campagin contributions from families in the military thus far.
I guess that means our troops don't support our troops.

Check it out yourself. The numbers are available at the FEC website.

Sports board? Interesting. Hey, getting Ron Paul's message out to anyone other than the web-savvy crowd that already knows about him is a good thing.

Those numbers are actually incorrect, because it does not include USN (US Navy) which adds $1,000 to the $64 something something ...

Actually, I run a football board myself, and the majority of the people who post in the political section are Paul supporters. It's actually where I first heard about him. And now a bunch of us have started a blog (check my sig for that).

I also talk about him on another football board, which has more neoconservatives, but a few guys there support Dr. Paul.

@Warhawk: Would it happen to be a Rivals board?

Thanks for supporting Ron Paul.

I post about Dr Paul on hailredskins.com which is the best Redskins board I've found but the people there have all but written him off as fringe and say he has no shot despite my portest.

Yikes, I've heard bad things about that board. I'm a Ravens fan, but I frequent TerpSportsReport.com for most of my sports-related discussion. There's the occasional Ravens/Redskins flaming, but the posters are very knowledgable, on both the sports and non-sports boards.

That's exactly what I'm getting. He has no chance. Any ideas on a short but sweet refutation?
