Ron Paul spent multiple thousands of dollars in New Hampshire trying to convince those same independent voters to back his candidacy.
This is the shit that makes me want to just give up. Tell me..Is multiple thousands of dollars alot of money to spend in this instance? What's the actual number?

If it is indeed only "in the multiple thousands" do YOU realize what you are saying? There seems to be a sort of willful ignorance on your part which makes me wonder..

I don't "hate" Ron Paul.
...

but if he's a racist I'm out. That information above makes me want to at least ask him the questions. in public, on tv or radio whatever.

Does he believe we are born equal? Does he agree that the statistics he endorses indicate more of a social problem rather than a racial one.

For instance. I'm the kind of person who'd wonder if even 5% of WHITE voters could be considered informed. It does seem a little skewed. But then, I also have to consider the stakes and realize that if Ron Paul could be characterized as a racist, his demographic is going to crumble. I'd like to know. We should ask him...

Everybody is expecting the next Hitler so bad, someone innocent could be swiftboated rather easily. The one we want could maybe seem almost too good to be true and it's easy to second-guess, as one should usually do.

Seriously lets ask the question. Someone ask him. Who should ask? I don't want...Bill O'Colbert to ask him. Keith Olberman? I get the feeling good ol kieth believes racism is shcizm at least.

There's some prominent individuals who are likely to be haters in my mind. So I could be convinced, but right now all I see is a neo-con and a rabbid democrat trying to keep a good thing down. Lets ask him.

Rabid, am I?
What's this that you say?
For reprinting the words,
That he put into play?

Are you claiming fabrication?
Are you saying it wrong?
To hold someone to task,
For a vile theme song?

If he did not believe,
If the ideas were not shared,
Why for so many years,
Was desention undeclared?

Or maybe you mean,
He simply ignored
What was said in his name,
By some ingnorant horde.

If that is the case,
This rabid demoncrat,
Wonders why would you follow?
What up wit dat?


All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground, Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard -
Tell me, could that be you?

How would you expect him to respond? How would you expect any racist to respond when called such. The term carries such an inherent stigma that the only real answer to the question "Are you a racist" is "No, I am not a racist". And his past appears to say otherwise.


What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?

I also said in the following sentence that Paul purchased prime time ads in the Boston market this week, increasing his money outlays significantly. I never claimed the number to be only multiple thousands of dollars. Please take care to read my full post.

You guys are so horribly boring I just can't stand it!
I thought I'd come back here after several years and find again the cutting edge of thought... instead I hear bantered about such revolutionary ideas as 'is Ron Paul a rascist? Let's ask him!' Is this Fox & Friends?

Ohmigosh! Ron Paul said something BAD about Lincoln? Precious President Lincoln who invented the income tax (contrary to the Constitution) to pay for an unpopular war, who suspended habeas corpus and involked executive priviledge? Precious President Lincoln who tore this country apart, even though the Constitution supported the succession of any state who felt compelled, coerced, or in general it's libery trampled.

Isn't there more to be pondered than numners of dollars spent? What about the issues?

Notice you forgot to mention he compared african-americans to animals, and multiple other vile things. It is an issue when a person running for office is either an actual racist (most likely) or so unconcerned with those running his organization that he pays NO ATTENTION to what they say and do in his name. Is that really the man you want running the show? Both are real concerns.

And by the way, if you were running, I wouldn't vote for you either.
