Paul 'Uncomfortable' Around Gays
Ron Paul has new accusations to deal with: Eric Dondero, a former longtime aide to the representative, has written a post at Rightwing News defending Ron Paul against charges of racism and anti-Semitism but also acknowledging that the congressman is “personally uncomfortable” around gay people. “Is Ron Paul a ‘racist.’ In short, No,” Dondero writes. “Is Ron Paul a homo-phobe? Well, yes and no.” Dondero says that Paul supports gay people’s right to do as they please in private but also that he is “personally uncomfortable” around them. Dondero recalls a time Paul made him leave a campaign stop at a gay supporter’s home so he could use the bathroom at a fast-food restaurant. Dondero tells another story, which he did not personally witness, of Paul refusing to shake a gay supporter’s hand.

Congress’s Wealth Grew During Crisis
Need another reason to be angry at Washington? The average net worth of members of Congress has grown 15 percent since 2004, even as the average American’s net worth has dropped 8 percent. Nearly half of all members of Congress are millionaires. The median net worth for a member of Congress, according to The New York Times, is $913,000; in the House it’s $725,000 excluding home equity, says The Washington Post. One reason that both the Times and Post cite for the growing wealth of politicians is the enormous cost of running a campaign: since 1976 the average amount that winning House candidates spend has quadrupled to $1.4 million.
