So Hang On A Minute

Let me get this straight.


Twenty years ago someone put some crazy, racist stuff in newsletters bearing Ron Paul's name and written in the first person as if they were from Ron Paul.


Ron Paul never read them.


Ten years ago, when confronted with some of the crazy stuff (I'm trying really hard not to use "crazy s**t" here), Ron Paul says he wrote them, but they must be taken in their whole context to understand them.


Fast forward to the present and Ron Paul never wrote them, does not know who wrote them, cannot recall the names of anyone who worked for him who might have wrote them, is shocked to learn he made big money off them, and people think this guy has the qualifications to be President of the United States?


Letting someone write bat crap crazy stuff under your name, not knowing who they are or what they are doing, profiting from them, then taking responsibility before denying responsibility is credible?!


If we're to take Ron Paul at his word, maybe we need to get him an Alzheimer's test. He is old. Hell, if pigs did fly and he did get elected President, he'd be 81 at the end of his first term.
