While the military is not exactly a mirror of the larger society, I suspect it contains it's share, perhaps more than it's share of folk who favor racist policies. But that's not the point I'm making. Paul has yet to disavow the support of folk who are such. When explicitly given the opportunity to do so. And in light of the information that he sought their support in the 90s. Not good. At least not good if he aspires to a national office. Which he clearly does.

<<most people on this thread completely miss where his support is coming from. ............>>>

Tell us. Where is his support comng from? And, just what does he believe in that inspires such support.

More specifically, how does he fell about:

1. Martin Luther King.
2. Black peole in general.
3. Poor people who might at some pont in their lives need financial spport to stay alive, get well, and contribute to society.
