Lets see: Mrs Heinz contribs to John MCCain. He therefore shares her values.
Don Black contributes to Ron Paul....
A few differences, though.
Heinz was one of very few 6-figure contributors to the Reform Institute. Don Black was one of tens of thousands of people who gave a few hundred bucks to a campaign raising over $28 million.
The Reform Institute also took contributions from major players in the cable industry, who perhaps coincidentally had important business pending before the Commerce Committee, which perhaps coincidentally is chaired by the founder of the Reform Institute, John McCain. The Paul campaign has never operated as a political shakedown machine in that way, and I'm not sure what important business Don Black may have before any committee chaired by Paul.
The Reform Institute uses their political shakedown proceeds to employ John McCain's election staff between elections.
I'd say John McCain's Reform Institute shows a great deal more appearance of impropriety than the Paul campaign, and there is quite a bit more evidence of influence peddling.
So how did the OP make Paul relevant to this thread? Or are we just breaking the forum rules here?
