Who do you think gives your candidate the majority of their money? You do realise that these interest groups expect reimbursement right? Wonder how your canidate will pay them back?

Awesome.
nice pic
nice.
lol i almost laughed when i saw the JP morgan and chase banks on obama haha.
and citigroup on everyone but obama.
come on it isnt that hard to figure out why wouldn't a big bank like ron paul.......
well for one he doesn't believe in the federal reserve banking system, he hates printing money and inflation which i am sure the bank doesnt lol, he also wants to phase out the IRS and wants to fix problems by CUTTING spending while everyone else wants to increase spending, and doesnt like huge banking corporations as they begin to have to much power and i believe i have heard him talk about liking smaller and state banks.
I believe that it was $500 from an individual labeled a "white supremist".

This is really a nonpoint, completely irrelevant to his campaign and if it had been for ANY OTHER candidate it would have NEVER been mentioned, you and I both know that.
When a candidate is trying to run a campaign, who would honestly expect them to police the donations of approximately 125,000 individual donors. Second, the white supremacist donated that money to Paul, why would Paul give it back to him so he could fund something that Paul believes is negative, Paul can now take his money and use it towards a positive message, and thats great. By the way this post wasn't directed at you Logan, its just in general.
Comrades:
I have kept quiet about the Ron Paul campaign for a while, because I didn’t see any need to say anything that would cause any trouble. However, reading the latest release from his campaign spokesman, I am compelled to tell the truth about Ron Paul’s extensive involvement in white nationalism.
Both Congressman Paul and his aides regularly meet with members of the Stormfront set, American Renaissance, the Institute for Historic Review, and others at the Tara Thai restaurant in Arlington, Virginia, usually on Wednesdays. This is part of a dinner that was originally organized by Pat Buchanan, Sam Francis and Joe Sobran, and has since been mostly taken over by the Council of Conservative Citizens.
I have attended these dinners, seen Paul and his aides there, and been invited to his offices in Washington to discuss policy.
For his spokesman to call white racialism a “small ideology” and claim white activists are “wasting their money” trying to influence Paul is ridiculous. Paul is a white nationalist of the Stormfront type who has always kept his racial views and his views about world Judaism quiet because of his political position.
I don’t know that it is necessarily good for Paul to “expose” this. However, he really is someone with extensive ties to white nationalism and for him to deny that in the belief he will be more respectable by denying it is outrageous — and I hate seeing people in the press who denounce racialism merely because they think it is not fashionable.

Here ya go smartass... Now I don't believe the article but obviously they support him.
He did accept money from a white supremecist, there is no denying that, but that's very different than the American Nazi Party. I hate to play devils advocate on this one, but Ron Paul preaches that he works to protect everyones constitutionally given right to believe and speak as they like as long as no harm is done to others. Now, just because he accepted the money does not mean that he accpets his ideology or even condones it, but he does accept the fact that the donor endorses the constitution.
I'm an agnostic and Ron Paul is a christian and I've donated to his campaign many times. Does that mean that he is also an agnostic? No, but he supports my right to believe in or not believe in what I want to.
I don't respect him for this decision, but it would be hypocritical of him to deny ones support of free speech considering constitutional rights is the platform he runs on.
OMG! Stop the presses..Ron is backed by a white supremacist. That $500 is gonna take us a long way. woooo wooo
/sarcasm
I see no problem with it whatsoever, I like how the media is grasping for straws. haha

NO guys dont you see the point. how are people wrongfully using money.
terrible we need to create a Federal Use of Lawful Money.
They can give us all RFID chips that are wired directly to our bank accounts and they can control all money sent to anyone so we dont need anything. its also much better cause instead of printing we can make a computer program that keeps an auto inflation. My gosh this is like a dream, they could also make it so that If Bad Things are purchased such as steroids, supplements, or even the Key Word Ron Paul.
Think about it we could use our tax money, create a huge federal bureau to monitor all money transfered. We could all be on RFID chips and then we could be shut off in a dispute.
Also maybee if it was donated online we need a federal bureau of the internet. They could block any bad websites or free content. They could tell us whats safe and tell us what to watch, they could only allow a few sites like cnn for news.
Wake the fvck up. if we dont start getting back our freedoms this is where were headed. more debt and the government into more aspects of our life. Who cares if he got 500 $ from someone who is some racist. Maybee hell take that money and put it towards a good cause.
They should have national beat your politition day. Take more of our money so they can line their own pockets.
