I've always appreciated Dr. Paul's trust in the individual rather than hoardes who wrap themselves and represent themselves with one ideology or another.

Hmmmm. That hasn't stopped him from accepting donations from the likes of Truthers and Fascists. So, are you saying he's willing to take their money but doesn't trust them? Then why take their money? Oh, I see, he can't help it if they want to help out. Yes. That makes it alright.

Other candidates are taking money from wealthy individuals who own percentages of foreign factories that employ indentured serfs and slaves, as documented and verified by anti-sweatshop coalition groups. Do you want the anti-sweatshop coalitions to be made aware that Mitt Romney, McCain, Clinton and others are accepting donations from slavers, and that both Bushes and both Clintons did the same? I know who they are, they live in my area, they show up on the opensecrets.org records.

How about the fact that several states have Republican parties that are significantly by business owners who have over 50% illegal labor?

That’s not a good line of argumentation for ANY Republican candidate (outside of outliers like Tancredo) to bring up in this primary season.

Stop using such the flimsy canard of rolls of self selecting donors to smear candidates, it doesn’t hold any weight in rational discussions.

Any candidate for President generally accepts donations from people of all kinds, including individuals who subscribe to collective ideas. We ought consider a danger those collective ideas that would, in practice, override individual rights and responsibilities, particularly when they would be subsumed under the authority of the Federal Government.

I do not want a President who attains to the office of Theologian in Chief. Such danger does not reside in the person of Ron Paul, but it might reside in a candidate who uses his particular faith explicitly as a reason to be elected.
