Ron Paul’s “relative” connections
Special to the Post-Dispatch
Since Texas congressman/GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul will be in Branson Friday night to rally his Missouri troops, I figured it’s appropriate to point out a new Washington Post story that raises some questions about his campaign.
In short, his unofficial motto appears to be family first. (He prefers to hire relatives for key campaign posts.)
He seems to be a bit of a skinflint too. Doesn’t he realize that the fine art of nepotism requires that he actually pay family members a whopping salary? At this rate, he could have the whole State of Texas on the payroll, and still have money left over. What a tightwad!
