What a scam they have pulled on their followers.

most of the money went to Jesse Benton, who ran his campaign. That son of a bitch, paying his campaign manager...Did they bother to find out what they paid these people to do and if they did it or not?

Interesting report, but if you neglect saying that the grandson in law in question is the campaign manager, what agenda are you trying to push?

The campaign manager who won not a single primary if I remember correctly. Would a more qualified campaign manager perhaps have had more success?

My agenda? I believe the Pauls funneled campaign funds to their relatives whenever possible. I am pointing this out. That is my agenda.

not so much your agenda, but the agenda of the report. If a politician pays money to a family member for a legitimate purpose, how is that wrong?

Don't know what a better campaign manager would have done, I thought they did a good job getting the message out all things considered. I mean when you finish second in New Hampshire and people on MSNBC call you a fraud and say John Huntsman is the real second, what chance did you have?

When you don't have a lot of support in the GOP fanatical base, what kind of primary victory is he going to have? If the rules hadn't been changed at the GOP national convention he would have been nominated from the floor. And at that point a debate within the party would have been a good thing.

for someone in gov't for self gain, why would he never talk to a lobbyist? I am saddened that the two politicians left who believed in something both were gone this year.

There have been three politicians I have believed meant what they said, Ron Paul (R), Paul Wellstone (D), and Dennis Kucinich (D). The rest use(d) have truths and lies, including switching unpopular decisions because they were unpopular at the time.

I wouldn't say I am a fanatical follower who treats his words as gospel, he has done some strange stuff, but his opinions certainly made me do my own research as they were vastly different from most politicians.

If you see poor financial and monetary policy as a catalyst for a lot of wrongs in our society, and those two things are controlled and manipulated by the gov't, who deserves the blame? When you are a politician, and you believe that gov't policy has caused problems, would it make sense to blame the populace or the gov't that puts the rules in play?

People blame the gov't all the time, but when Paul does it eye rolls and sighs happen and I don't know why, ok I do know why, but it doesn't make it right

I believe that government has been very good to the Pauls and demonizing government has been even better. I don't believe they even believe what they are saying much of the time, yet they have a fanatical following who treats every word as gospel. I don't respect that.

And I do not agree that saying the Pauls will blame government for anything and everything they can is making something up. I think they have proven that statement to be true.

I was referring to this
"yeah, I abuse everyone I want, steal what I want, do what I want, screw over who I want and the government has no right to tell me I can't."
