Ron Paul ‘Surprise Fave Among Troops’

Now this is very interesting. Ron Paul is the one who believes in finding the reason(s) why the terrorists terrorize our world (for which he was chastised by the Giuliani the Idiot).
WHAT’S UP: Among Republicans running for president, the anti-war candidate - Texas Rep. Ron Paul - has the highest total of campaign contributions from service members, according to the most recent Federal Election Commission reports. Paul collected $14,840 from service members, slightly more than the $14,775 collected by Arizona Sen. John McCain, a supporter of the war in Iraq. The other Republican candidates got $2,600 or less from contributors who identified themselves as service members.

WHAT’S NEXT: Paul, who served as a flight surgeon in the Air Force in the 1960s, and McCain, a Navy pilot who was a prisoner of war in Vietnam, could not be further apart in their views of the Iraq war, which is the biggest military issue so far in the 2008 campaign that is just beginning. The current front-runner in the race, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, received $2,550 from military contributors, the FEC report shows.
