103. Sorry, I still don't see it.
I see tons of reasons to not vote for him, but labeling him a "racist" just weakens the argument.

Michael Moore had some fun with the candidates one year where he sent in checks from all types of wacky organizations and showed that the candidates accepted them. The reality is that most candidates do not vet through all their donations and accept or reject ones that they agree with personally, nor would I expect them to.

Finally, voting against affirmative action and welfare may be reasons to not vote for him, but NOT proof of racism. Just because someone is against affirmative action and/or welfare doesn't make them a racist, especially if their overriding belief is that the federal government shouldn't be involved in these areas.

What I am saying is that you marginalize your arguments against Ron Paul everytime you play the race card, in the same way you do so by labling me a "paulite" despite the fact I have made it clear I don't support him, give him money or plan to vote for him and have listed tons of reason why people SHOULDN'T vote for him.
