    Is this how Ron Paul plans to run our country? By engaging in nepotism?

    No thanks Ron.

    This one sure is. I take it that you can disprove that Paul engages in big time nepotism?

    The burden of proof is on you. Some random opinions in the blogosphere mean nothing.

    Are you paid to slander Paul or do you legitimately fear him.

    It's not slander when its fact. Over $300,000 to family members is very troubling considering that Paul's supporters claim that he's the only "honest" candidate. Obviously he plays the system just like the rest of them.

    There's nothing to fear in Ron Paul, except his crackpot support following.

    You fear Ron Paul supporters.

    What a weak and small individual to say such a thing.

    No, not really. The last run in I had with a Ron Paul supporter was at a Santorum Rally. The Paul supporters had their little signs out and I went to one of them and grabbed the sign. The Paul supporter swung around quickly as if he was looking for a confrontation. But I guess he thought better of it and did nothing.

    I don't fear Ron Paul supporters. If there is another Santorum or Gingrich rally in Texas I'll be there. If I see a Ron Paul supporter I'll go up to them to greet them.

    I don't fear them. I find them rather pathetically entertaining. They buy into everything Paul tells them. "Freedom, liberty, honesty in government," while Paul lines his relatives pockets.

    What do you have against these things? Ron Paul wants the government small enough to where their dishonesty won't effect us as much.

    Nothing whatsoever.

    You mean the type of dishonesty that Paul engages in called nepotism? To the tune of over $300,000.

    I like some of Ron Paul's ideas, but I don't trust him the way his supporters do. There are too many things in his past that make me raise my eyebrows. The problem is that his supporters portray him as the most honorable/decent man ever to run for office, and his past doesn't reflect that.

    If he did not pay them for their work (in 2008 and 2012) he would be in trouble with the law for not paying minimum wage. He follows the law and is getting called out?

    Okay...name a more honest modern politician. More to the point, name one of the other candidates that is more honest than Ron Paul.

    Paul Ryan for one.

    Ron Paul is on a par with the rest of them. He's a hypocrite, liar and now we find out that he engages in nepotism. He's a typical politician.

    Romney.

    Never accepted any money from Tax payers for any position.

    If you remember 08 he financed most of his own campaign as was ripped for doing so.

    After he helps OTHER REPUBLICANS with their campaigns with his left over cash.
    Not his family or non Republican idiots.

    you might want to read up a bit for comparison.

    Paul has made this a family advancement industry.
    At least I didn't contribute a penny.. :)
