are rather bothersome to me. "Put up" or "give 20 mill", do this or that.

You have no idea what the impact alone of Jims public endorsement means. The monetary value, IMO, is at least a few hundred thousand. Additionally, as I believe my donating to a candidate from another state is not my place, he might believe that PAC's are unacceptable.

As I search the FEC website under "rogers" around page 20 I see a person that could very well be Jim himself. James Beeland Rogers, jr. In either case, I appreciate his endorsement.

I will keep my thoughts on Jim in my head.

Type in Rogers and go to around page 20.

Small minded posts

Submitted by anothernobody on Tue, 05/08/2012 - 10:54.

Why do these inept posters assume that Rogers hasn't contributed monetarily to the campaign or to one of the liberty minded super pacs? Get off the guy butt people, Jim Rogers is a very intelligent person and supports Paul and like HonorGod says, his endorsement alone is extremely helpful.

Furthermore

He definetly gave to Ron in 2007.

Calling Jim Rogers............Please Help Saint Paul

Submitted by Ron Paul Support on Tue, 05/08/2012 - 10:06.

Please help RON PAUL at least 10 million the best investment for your money.

Focus on results and not just money to Paul's handlers.

Submitted by lib on Tue, 05/08/2012 - 10:09.

it doesn't take money to win, but foremost it takes courage to explain and defend paul's position and break thru media blackout, which can be done is there is will.

a silly treehouse cabal

Submitted by SophiaH on Tue, 05/08/2012 - 09:44.

is stalking here to vote down links that refute their views and attack a philosophy they are unable to understand

the juvenile posts that have no value show who the immature boys are who troll to spit on anyone they are afraid of, most especially a female

have this thread to talk to yourselves now you silly kids

I have better things to do than watch you roll about in your
sand box wiggling your wee weenies in the air.

Why is it

Submitted by Bamobo on Tue, 05/08/2012 - 10:04.

that so many on here choose to tell themselves that some group of members must be following them around and downvoting them when a much more likely explanation is that they've simply made a few unpopular posts?

Speaking of, you made a post recently where you claimed that people used to be able to live to be 500 years old...still waiting on finding out where you pulled THAT one from...

since you wanted battle, then that is what you got.

it is unfortunate it doesn't concern you that Romney has long made similar comments about Paul, though Paul has only said positive things about Romney.

It is nice

Submitted by armchairpickleback on Sat, 05/05/2012 - 12:01.

That a very successful man supports Paul with his words. But ya know what Mr. Rodgers, put up or shut up. No offense but you could spare 20 million for revolution pac or liberty pac. Put your money where your mouth is. sorry if people might be offended or if Rodgers is offended himself, but it takes money to wake the masses up, the grassroots can only do so much.

Again, you think money to official campaign is the ticket

Submitted by lib on Tue, 05/08/2012 - 10:12.

to salvation. Well, it is not. It takes courage to actually explain and speak of paul's platform, which ads of tens of millions of dollars did not do.

the only you thing it seems you want from people is their money and not much else.

No that is not it at all lib

Submitted by holbrook on Tue, 05/08/2012 - 10:40.

What we are saying is that talk, by itself, is just that...talk.
Talk needs to be backed by ACTION, if it is to be worth anything, especially when you use the word "support".
If he can't support the campaign with FRNs, then his support is ...not!
Money should be the least he can send to the campaign.

" In Thee O Lord do I put my trust " ~ Psalm 31:1~

The best and least someone can do is not Money.

Submitted by lib on Wed, 05/09/2012 - 12:07.

Money is the last thing to express support and that money can go into numerous other things other than the campaign.

Genuine useful words to explain paul's platform is better than tens of millions of money, especially when that money will not go to fight romney-establishment/anti-conservative candidates.

ya know what

Submitted by armchairpickleback on Sat, 05/05/2012 - 12:02.

scratch that 20 million.

Put up 100 million. YOU CAN AFFORD IT MR. RODGERS. There are many liberty candidates across the country that need help from the pacs .

This is old and where is the money anyway?

Submitted by David A Dudenhoefer on Thu, 05/03/2012 - 11:17.

He came out a few times and said a few words about Dr. Paul, but now it's time to put his money where his mouth is....

Snobs

Submitted by IMissLiberty on Thu, 05/03/2012 - 11:07.

There sure are lots of poor snobs in the world. Lashing out at famous rich people instead of walking precincts.

It's great that supporting Ron Paul is something that famous rich people sometimes do, but it won't win the battle. If it were a guarantee, then Romney wouldn't be having so much trouble.

Every time someone on here lashes out at some famous rich person--without having any idea what causes they have supported, especially--it bugs me. Thou shalt not judge. You don't think Ron Paul brags about where he gives his money, do you? Why should Jim Rogers be called names or become a target because he doesn't, what? Dump a million bucks into a PAC? Two mililon? Five? Can you imagine the backlash from the GOP?

What do you think? http://consequeries.com/

Oh really?

Submitted by holbrook on Tue, 05/08/2012 - 10:43.

Jesus Himself said "Thou shalt know a tree by its fruit"
My question to Mr. Rodgers is "where's the fruit"?

" In Thee O Lord do I put my trust " ~ Psalm 31:1~

Thank you Ron Pauler supporters, especially.....

Submitted by President Paul ... on Thu, 05/03/2012 - 10:52.

Thanks to all do pay attentionto current politics and have actively sacrificed blood, sweat and tears to make a difference and spread the r3VOLution. Special thanks to those who somehow found time to help out - despite not being independenly wealthy / retired.

Thanks to all who donated funds to the campaign. Special thanks to those who struggle each month to make ends meet - yet through sacrifice - still found a way to donate something somehow.

Thanks to all who:
1) know Dr. Paul understands the monetary problems we face as a nation
-AND-
2) Actively and vocally do whatever they can to get Dr. Paul elected and spread the r3VOLution.

Special thanks to all who have been known to be 'apolitical', yet maybe for the first time shrugged off apathy, stopped watching from the sidelines, became politically involved and joined the fight for liberty.

Finally, thanks to all of those who work tirelessly to help Dr. Paul get the nomination. Apparently as near the nomination, folks like billionaire Jim will support him. Thanks for
working to actually MAKE it happen, not just being willing to jump on board if someone else does all the heavy lifting AND it pans out.
PS: Welcome aboard to all. May you get inspired.

duplicate comment redacted.

Show US the Money

Submitted by JustLiberty4US on Thu, 05/03/2012 - 09:41.

"If Ron Paul gets anywhere near the nomination?" Uh, Jimmy, how about supporting him NOW? People are giving their last $5 to support the Paul campaign. Many people on this forum give until it hurts. Help make it happen.

If Rogers understands where this county is at, and does indeed support Paul, he needs to put his money where his mouth is.

he needs to put his money where his mouth is. PROVE HE HASNT

Submitted by SophiaH on Thu, 05/03/2012 - 09:55.

he needs to put his money where his mouth is.

PROVE HE HASNT

you know what you ARE proving with that attitude...doncha!

u THINK it makes you look like a hard core Paul supporter but if he heard your rant he would say GENTLY what the man does with HIS money is none of your business nor is it any oh his what you do with your money

why do you PRESUME to tell a man what he should do with his?
you do NOT sound like a tough Ron Paul supporter

and I hope you dont post such drivel in the utube threads
as people will think we are childish mercenary jerks

Continually Defending Rogers

Submitted by JustLiberty4US on Thu, 05/03/2012 - 19:39.

You can save the ad hominem attacks, SophiaH. It doesn't do anything to advance good discourse.

You have over a half dozen posts defending Rogers. Why?

Donations are public information. Besides, how do you know what Rogers would say? Nice rant. ;)

Defending Rogers as in not projecting what he should do

Submitted by SophiaH on Fri, 05/04/2012 - 11:30.

JustLiberty4US

There are no ad hominem attacks except in your opinion.
opinions are just... opinions.

What I am wondering is WHY so much BITTERNESS toward a man who owes no none here anything including a print out of his donations
for any year of his life on this planet.

I would defend any one who was so visciously attacked by so many snarling posts stating he is so eeeevil for not giving up millions of his own money to what these atackers think he should give to instaed of allowing that he has the RIGHT to his own choices

I dont know him or Paige but they seem like a lively & adventurous couple and are entitled to their decisions about their own money management

the incredible HATE for him expressed by so many here has given me a nasty taste of how SOME who claim to be supporters of Ron Paul are obsessed with HATE and venom against a man who owes this campaign nothing

I dont even like billionaire Donald Trump but if he had some good words to say about Ron Paul (he hasnt) and others here atacked him
OR ANYONE ELSE THE SAME WAY

I would defend tham also. What I cannot defend is the obsessive HATE shown here for a person in the public eye just because some have to HATE THE RICH

Do these "Ron paul supporters" also Hate Theil with the same vehemence

and do you rush to attack me for defending a man who owes no one here any explantions because you HATE him or is it that you feel you must castigate lil ole me ? ?

mmmmm.....

Trump said plenty of nice things

Submitted by eric2223 on Sun, 05/06/2012 - 16:41.

you just dont care to look for them. you are now a hypocrite, on top a idolator of certain rich folks, on top a narcissist, on top of a self described pagan (littel p my choice).

pretending to know more and better is a form on intellectual violence. maybe you need to read a little more about who you are.

$UPPORT

Submitted by erschiessen on Thu, 05/03/2012 - 11:39.

Donations to Campaigns and SuperPACs are public information.

If he donated over the minimum threshold, it would be available for all to find.

Jim might LIKE Dr.Paul, but I do not see that as the same as SUPPORTS him.

Does this guy have a FB page?

Submitted by Jaed Deaj on Thu, 05/03/2012 - 04:25.

Anyone know how to get in contact with him and politely ask him if he'd like to help NOW? When it could really be used maybe... instead of waiting to see.

HATE is HATE and its poison

Submitted by SophiaH on Thu, 05/03/2012 - 09:49.

Do you know this man and his wife?

http://www.jimrogers.com/

Email: Jim Rogers (jim@jimrogers.com)

Email: Paige Parker (paige@paigeparker.com)

He may very well have been giving money for years and lambasting him
as to what no one does KNOW how he handles HIS CHOICE of donations to whom or where is a childish game of "HATE the RICH"
which is puerile and silly and decidedly NOT Libertarian, y'all.

Its HIS LIFE and HIS CHOICES and you cannot know what or when he has or hasnt done with his money so you are merely HATIN' for your own deep seated NEED to HATE

why not HATE the POOR equally ? or have you embraced the PTB class warfare jingoism?

if so why do you believe you are a Ron Paul supporter?

No I dont need an answer
people who think like that are not worth my time to interact with or even read.

I am not blessed with the phenomenal patience that Ron Paul has

there are plenty of those negative nellies on the utube threads who leave nasty comments on my channels because they NEED to HATE
someone/anyone, especially a female name

one has left a remark on one of my channels that I am
a "zionist whore and should go u kno what myself "

it obviously just needed to HATE and didnt bother to
scroll that channel, HA HA HA

so give up the HATE and hear what others think and say
and allow that others will choose what they do with their money
or lives or where they live or personal plans or bodies or schools, lunch, vehicle,vocations....

:)
