Some money facts for ya Freddy...
Rather than rely on your propaganda, how about his true voting record.
You state that as if you've found some discrepancy between the "propaganda", and his "true voting record"; so where's the discrepancy?

But then again who really cares...
Quite a few people care about his voting record; however, I take it that you're not one of them...

It would seem that some people are more concerned with choosing a candidate based on whether or not they research into hundreds of thousands of
private citizens lives/opinions (those who donate) rather than looking at a candidate's political beliefs, and/or their voting records. Personally,
that seems a bit backwards, and unrealistic to me.
Yeah why raise taxes when he would get hit hard eh?
www.opensecrets.org...
For a "man of the people" he is rather well off. Lot of investment in gold and gold producing companies but that is way off topic
What candidate wouldn't get "hit hard", and isn't rather "well off"? Personally, I'm glad he's invested in gold, and gold producing companies.
It further shows that he has no vested interest in supporting the MIC's perpetual war machine. Better gold than "Big Pharm", "Big Oil", KBR,
Bechtel, Halliburton, Rand, Kroll, or companies such as Bradley...
But again, please explain how his voting record relates to his acceptance of money from a neo nazi?
In short, it's a
valid reason to choose whether to support, or oppose him. It's what
really matters.
This 4th quarter he's already raised over $18,000,000 from over 122,000 private citizens. The sheer logistics of trying to uncover each of their
individual, and various beliefs is insane. If a company, lobbyist, or organization donates a sum it's quite easy to discern where they're coming
from; however, when you're dealing with private citizens' donations, the logistics become staggering, and unreasonable.
If you, or I donate $100-$500 should we be subject to an FBI background check? Who's going to perform so many, let alone pay for them all? Since
it's strictly a "moral and ethical issue" for you, and the amount doesn't matter; what if the donation is only $1? Should an FBI background check
ensue then as well?
Some people seem to be acting like Black walked right up to Dr. Paul and said; "Howdy Ron! I'm a white supremacist! Shake my hand, and take this
$500!". To which Ron replied; "Why thanks Mr. Nazi! Glad to have you onboard!" Followed by much hugging, and back slaping...
