Ron Paul has balls
By VictorM:I'm not a fan of Ron Paul but I wish other candidates had the balls and common sense exhibited by his campaign about dealing with donations from undesirables:
This should be standard procedure for handling money from people such as this creep: keep the money and tell them to go take a hike.A white supremacist named Don Black, who runs the prominent hate Web site Stormfront, donated $500 to Paul's campaign recently. Jesse Benton, Paul's spokesman, says that despite Black's views, the campaign won't give the donation back, as other campaigns in this situation might have. "If someone with small ideologies happens to contribute money to Ron, thinking he can influence Ron in any way, he's wasted his money," the Associated Press quotes Benton as saying. "And that's $500 less that this guy has to do whatever it is that he does."

Ron Paul vs. The Philosophically Bankrupt
After reading the name-calling and other non sequiturs from the anti-Ron Paul crowd, I am of the view that their hostility arises less from his opposition to war, or the direction American foreign policy has taken for decades, or any of the other specific programs he has criticized. What troubles them the most is that Paul has a philosophically-principled integrity in what he advocates and that, to challenge him, one must be prepared to deal with him at that higher level.
But modern political discourse long ago gave up on principles, in favor of the pursuit of power as a sufficient end. There is an intellectual bankruptcy exhibited by writers and speakers on the political "left," "right," or "middle." Competing ideas and values that once engaged the minds of thoughtful men and women have given way to little more than pronouncements on behalf of narrowly-defined political programs; the validity of a proposition no longer depends upon reasoned analysis, but upon the outcome of public opinion polls.
Ron Paul's campaign interjects an energized, principled inquiry into the political realm, an undertaking for which men and women with no philosophic center or rigorous minds find themselves woefully ill-prepared.
