He's saying that even if he WAS a racist, it doesn't matter because his philosophy of sticking to the constitution wouldn't allow him to make any laws based on his personal beliefs.

Besides... who cares weather or not he is a racist. It's not about Ron Paul. It's about his policies. Ron Paul will never be president because he's 72 years old. But it's his policies that will live on and we'll see someone come up through politics who is much more charismatic. It's the policies that he preaches that are important not weather he wrote or didn't write some stupid article 30 years ago.

[Beeffyviolin]

He never admitted writing it. Someone else wrote it. They suspect it was Lew Rockwell, but no one is really sure who. And he does NOT oppose everything. He is FOR the legalization of Marijuana, he is FOR ending US occupation around the world, he is FOR the individual states to legalize gay mairrage if they wish, he is FOR sound money, he is PRO voluntary charity, he is FOR congress to declare war if necessary and is FOR a large military.

I pity you since you seem to have done quite a bit of research on Dr. Paul and you only seem to walk away with some insane notion that he is a racist.

What's that saying about being able to lead some dumb animals to water but...

That isn't even logical, and I pity you for being so stupid. No one is "incapable" of racism. Take his CNN/Wolf interview. Ron Paul based his argument on an impossible premise, which shows that he is either lying, or he is completely in denial. In fact, not only is Ron Paul in denial, but he contradicts himself a little while later by making several references to "the blacks," using the exact same language that Blitzer cited from his newsletter. Therefore, Paul acknowledges a group: blacks.

[ashleytube]

Wrong. He admitted to writing them; His signature appears on the solicitation letter. Ron Paul doesn't oppose the war on drugs because it's racist, he opposes it because he opposes everything. The war on drugs could be the most racially equitable program in the history of Earth, and Ron Paul would still oppose it, because it isn't mentioned in the constitution.

Where's the whole thing?
