Do you support one of these Political Prostitutes for President?

Here is a list of donation they have accepted from special interests. They have already compromised their integrity.

2008 PRESIDENTIAL RACE

Contributions from Selected Industries

Display: Lobbyists

Hillary Clinton (D) $567,950

John McCain (R) $340,365

Christopher J. Dodd (D) $233,875

Mitt Romney (R) $229,475

Rudolph W. Giuliani (R) $212,100

Bill Richardson (D) $134,950

Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D) $114,460

Fred Thompson (R) $90,000

Barack Obama (D) $76,859

Duncan Hunter (R) $30,900

John Edwards (D) $18,900

Sam Brownback (R) $17,225

Mike Huckabee (R) $6,964

Tom Tancredo (R) $250

You will notice RON PAUL is not on that list. He has raised more money this quarter than any other Republican. He has received more contributions form active and retired military personnel (including me). But all of his donations come from individuals, not special interests, not China.

Does this fact influence how you will vote?

    Andrew K -

    Andrew K - If you did your homework you would know that he didn't write that. It was someone in his office and he fired them and took personal, moral responsibility for the statement.

    Once again, sorry to confuse you with the facts. With a little more effort, truth can be found.

    Of course I don't support these mindless puppets of the CFR/New World Order- RON PAUL ALL THE WAY FTW!!!

    Andrew- as Ron Paul said "That's $500 that will be spent on promoting freedom & liberty." plus a rep of his said "At least thats $500 less from him to use for whatever purposes."

    Nope, that's the reality of the political system we have in place. All attempts at reforming the system have been blocked by the GOP. Even Ron Paul.

    Ron Paul has accepted a 500$ donation, on September 30th, 2007 from an American white nationalist neo-Nazi who is the founder and current webmaster of the "Stormfront" forum and former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) Don Black.

    Source(s): 2 thumbs down for disclosing that a prominent racist supports RP? Don't let reality interfere with ideology, right? Hay Idont... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVcuhUXpvHo&feature... You probablys aw this one and all the other Youtube videos where Ron Pauls racism is exposed, right? Ideology or reality? Your choice. Vajradharma- Why are racists supporting Ron Paul? You might ask why a lobbyist is supporting another candidate. Apply the same questions to Ron and the support of racists and the picture becomes clearer.

    If they don't receive contributions where the heck are they going to raise money for their campaings? from taxpayesr? I DON'T THINK SO....

    That is why we live in a FREE country, you support whoever you want with money or the way you want.

    It's just as valid as raising money for the girlscouts, charity, etc

    No, I'm for Ron Paul.

    No, it doesn't. These facts still do not make him the best candidate. And he still supports corporations over people. Typical conservative economics to me.
