There are no damning direct quotes in that article. The quotes cited came from the newsletters, not Paul. Re-read your article again.

here let me help you

"If someone challenges your character and takes the

interpretation of the NAACP as proof of a man's character, what kind of a world do you live in?" Dr. Paul asked.

In the interview, he did not deny he made the statement about the swiftness of black men.

"If you try to catch someone that has stolen a purse from you, there is no chance to catch them," Dr. Paul said.

He also said the comment about black men in the nation's capital was made while writing about a 1992 study produced by the National Center on Incarceration and Alternatives, a criminal justice think tank based in Virginia.

Citing statistics from the study, Dr. Paul then concluded in his column: `Given the inef! ficiencies of what DC laughingly calls the criminal justice system, I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal."

"These aren't my figures," Dr. Paul said Tuesday. "That is the assumption you can gather from" the report

All correct as far as I can find.

To add to that, the publication that contained the most objectionable stuff was a for profit endeavor which produced around a million in annual revenue for Mr. Paul. Most seem to accept Paul's explanation despite the hype. What keeps it going is inconsistent answers.

Another interesting thing is that at the end of Paul's failed campaigns, he kept the excess monies for personal uses. Many other candidates over the years have done the same thing. They often run knowing they cannot win, but it is the money and influence they are actually after. Neither good nor bad, just factual. Well sometimes bad like David Duke who did the exact same thing. You can actually live off campaigning and never have a job in fact. Ralph Nader got very wealthy doing exactly that for a living.

Lot's of info about Paul I'm finding you have to dig for. For instance only one Bill he ever sponsored passed and it was meaningless. He authored many Bills that could not even find one sponsor.

Just keeping it real after many, many hours of reading and searching. I'm still very much undecided.

My decision is simple. They are all politicians. Not saints. What matters is where they want to take this country. And I damn well am not voting for anyone who wishes to further the insanity of these wars. He is the only one, so as I struggle to fight the jadedness, I am going to vote for the only man willing to speak up about our civil liberties.

And it's not Mitt Romney.

Obama said he was opposed to the wars and then ended them on the same schedule Bush suggested. In fact if I recall Bush would have pulled out a bit quicker.

Their history does matter. Whether they can lead does matter. When they have been a DC insider as long as Paul, his record on the Bills he authored and how effective he was at getting them passed is important in my mind. They can all say anything, but can they lead to get it through Congress or not? Can they get others to join with them or not? Are their answers consistent or not?

The most important is how do they work with Congress and the Senate. If they cannot lead them and unite enough of them behind their agenda, you may as well stick an answering machine in the White House and go play.

That is however a good thing. Imagine if any of these clowns had the power of a Dictator. You think we have issues now!
