But if Paul returns the money, he'll be violating his own stated principles of freedom for all, special rights for none, thus greatly disappoint many of his local supporters, who strongly believe in the US Constitution.
To deny financial contributions from any person, in effect, disinfranchises them, and prevents their equal participation in the election process.
I mean, if it's proper to refuse money from one group, then it should also be proper to refuse money from any group. Where will it end ??
