Racism is one of the last things one might be able to accuse Ron Paul of being. Libertarian, yes, racism, no.

There are also lots of weirdos who support every other candidate out there. It’s a free country and they vote for whom they choose.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that most candidates lack any ability to debate Ron Paul on the merits of his positions, so instead they attempt to reduce their politic to calling him weird for actually believing in the Constitution and voting his convictions, and not selling out to particular lobbyists who offer funds for the campaigns of anybody who will vote their interest.

I may not vote for Ron Paul, but I know no other candidate who has consistently for about 30 years voted his sincere beliefs and stated them plainly, and in strict compliance with the intent of our formally described Constitutional power structure. That is something I cannot say of any other politician I’ve seen in American politics over the past 20 years.

BTW, he doesn’t support the views of the KKK or other racist organizations, but he does support their Constitutional rights to form and express their beliefs, even though he disagrees with them in particular.

There are plenty of arguments against his positions without resorting to false accusations and false labels.

Very noble. His writings clarify his beliefs. Oh, that's right, it was published under his name but he wasn't the author.

With all due respect, and your sanctimony notwithstanding, I don't believe you and I don't believe him.

The "believing in the Constitution" schtick, is the catch-all for his forgiveness by his fawning cultists.

You'll excuse me, if I don't partake.
