Morris ran numerous attacks, including publicizing issues of the Ron Paul Survival Report (published by Paul since 1985) that included derogatory comments concerning race and other politicians.[52][53] Alluding to a 1992 study finding that "of black men in Washington ... about 85 percent are arrested at some point in their lives",[54][55] the newsletter proposed assuming that "95% of the black males in Washington DC are semi-criminal or entirely criminal", and stated that "the criminals who terrorize our cities ... largely are" young black males and "black men commit [crimes] all out of proportion to their numbers".[56][57]

I know, but if you want to oppose something like this you might as well not vote at all. How is this going to look on his record if he makes it to the general election?

How is this going to look on his record if he makes it to the general election?It goes great with his record that he is principled and won't raise taxes. He doesn't believe congress should mandate things like this. It has nothing to do w/ the fact that it's Rosa Parks its the principle of the idea. Again, he was all for taking contributions from the 535 cats in Congress and awarding her with a medal, but he wasn't going to tax the people to do that.
^then people are fucking ignorant

But that's besides the point.All I'm saying is this vote can come back to haunt him. People are going to use this to say that he doesn't care about minorities or the civil rights movement. And the whole ghost writer issue is going to reinforce that argument. That's why I'm saying it would have been better for him to not even vote for or against it and just voice argument against that Congressional Gold Medal in general.
And he opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Believe me, people will have no trouble selling him as racist to the public.
