Friends Of Ron Paul

Many of you will recognize Ron Paul.

You may not recognize his two friends -- Stormfront's Don Black and his son Derek. You know, big-time white supremacists and neo-Nazis. And, of course, Ron Paul campaign donors -- whose money Ron Paul insists upon keeping rather than doing the honorable thing like divesting himself of it by giving it to a charity that promotes racial tolerance or combats the putrid ideology of Don Black.

So let's see here. Ron Paul hangs out with racists. He takes their money. He and his supporters claim that the Constitution requires him to do so, because to do otherwise would be to violate the First Amendment -- despite the fact that Ron Paul has a First Amendment right not to associate with scum like the Black family and their followers.

On the other hand, Ron Paul claims that much of federal spending is unconstitutional -- yet he freely admits that he sponsors gobs of pork for his district. Of course, in doing so he actively sponsors what he believes to be unconstitutional spending -- you know, because his supporters and constituents demand it, of course. He claims that he is virtuous and pure because he votes against the bill that contains the spending, even though he knows that the spending line items he supports will be enacted anyway. So much for his principles and claims to be a strict constitutionalist -- if he were, he would refuse to put the spending into the bill in the first place on the grounds that it is unconstitutional.

I'm curious -- since Ron Paul by his own admission is willing to lay aside his principles and alleged devotion to the Constitution for his supporters and constituents, why should we believe that he will not do the same for these hate-mongering campaign contributors?

1 And pray tell what kinds of people are contributing to the other campaigns? Let's be fair. What did Stormfront donate? $500? That's a drop in the bucket. As a Jewish person I am glad Paul took their money - it's less that they can use to spread hate -

2 Any political "leader" who sees fit to knowingly take and keep money from Nazis and white supremacists is unfit for any office -- if Ron Paul had any decency, he would divest himself of it by giving it to a charity in the manner I have mentioned. As for who is giving to other candidates, show me a single one taking from such groups. And if you do find such contributors, let me know and I will make an issue of it. But if all you can say is "who is giving to the other guys", my response is "no one as reprehensible as the folks giving to Ron Paul."
