@loadedstatement I'm not a Ron Paul supporter, but the way his campaign handled that donation was great. "Dr. Paul stands for freedom, peace, prosperity and inalienable rights. If someone with small ideologies happens to contribute money to Ron, thinking he can influence Ron in any way, he's wasted his money," Paul spokesman Jesse Benton said. "Ron is going to take the money and try to spread the message of freedom. "And that's $500 less that this guy has to do whatever it is that he does," Benton added. Couldn't have said anything better. This will not be a campaign issue. |
I completely agree. Anyone who thinks otherwise has a screw loose.

I kind of prefer the Giuliani approach. If a Saudi Prince is going to give you a donation for $10 million dollars while claiming the US had 911 coming, let him keep his money. Better to take the moral high ground than validating his thinking by accepting his gift.
Besides, that line of reasoning could be used to justify the acceptance of any donation no matter how dirty. Or maybe that's your point? To drop the saccharine romanticism and get down to brass tax.
And yes, my screws could use a little tightening.
