Ron Paul - Fundraising surpasses $18 million in Q4
Update 12/19:
Ok, the liberal bloggers and anti-RP folks are basing that Ron Paul is a racist because he refuses to return donations coming from white supremacists. In this Yahoo AP article, Don Black contributed $500 to Ron Paul's campaign. If you check his background, he runs a web site called Stormfront with the motto, "White Pride World Wide." So yes, he is a white supremacist.
Ron Paul's campaign is not going to give his $500 back. In fact, They will take his money and use it for the better good of the country, and that is to spread the message of freedom.
If folks think they can easily persuade Ron Paul to become a racist with thousands of dollars are sadly mistaken.
What if folks donating to Hillary Clinton are found out to have pro-life or anti-illegal immigration links? Will her campaign return the money? Or what if they found the person's political affiliation to be "Republican?"
Take the money and put it to better use.
Anti-RP's, try again.

In primary news, the Ron Paul 2008 campaign has turned in 20,000 signatures to guarantee a place on the Virginia state GOP primary ballot on February 12.
Well, it's hard for folks to label Ron Paul as a fringe candidate when his campaign has raised over $18 million in the fourth quarter. This is more than the $12 million that was set as a goal by his campaign. Over $6 million was raised on Dec. 16th, another record.
More Americans are going over to Ron Paul's side as we try to change the current political establishment.

You ought to see the folks at dailykos.com. They're calling Ron Paul crazy and a racist. Some Ron Paulites are trying to defend him there.
Some of Ron Paul ideas may seem far-fetched, but others are quite sensible, and I think folks are just afraid that he is an anti-establishment candidate.
They are calling all Ron Paul supporters loony or weirdos, saying their donations are being wasted. In fact, we are not fanatical or even radicals. We are all hard-working Americans fed up with the status quo, from the elderly to the college-age student, from professionals, active and veteran soldiers, union people, and even minorities. They just cannot seem to grasp this new reality.
