A catchy Ron Paul slogan

"BEE part of the solution! Paulinate!"

You have to admit, that's a clever slogan. Many more here.

Meanwhile, Ron Paul "surges" from 2%-7% in New Hampshire, with 60% of Republicans undecided. Fred Thompson is under 5% in NH. I know, "you can prove anything with polls", but when the selection of leading candidates is so mediocre, upsets and reversals are more of a possibility.

Update: A friend brought up this article, "Ron Paul's Jewish Problem", which claims that Ron Paul's campaign has not returned contributions made by notable anti-semitic figures. Daily Paul provides links to this Andrew Sullivan commentary in response.

In general, I find that AS and I don't see eye-to-eye, but I see his point on this one. While I would prefer that Ron Paul might quickly issue a quotation distancing himself from the such extremist views, I don't think you can reasonably come to the conclusion that Ron Paul endorses said extremism from the facts currently presented. Indeed, RP's public rhetoric on Jews and issues pertaining to the state of Israel seems honest and balanced. This feels like dirty politicking to me.
