Dr. Paul Regrets

A spokesman for the Paul campaign apologized on Friday for not doing more to prevent racist and homophobic remarks from appearing in a series of newsletters published over several years under Ron Paul's name.

Ron Paul put out many old newsletters

They were published under his name.

They’re nasty and racist and anti-gay;

His campaign feels remorse and great shame.

While he says he didn’t write any of them,

And didn’t know what they contained,

His name is on each of their covers

So he needs to have them explained

They say that he’s not at all racist

That he’s really OK on the gays,

But the things that you read in those letters

Are repulsive to most folks these days.

Ron Paul says he truly is sorry

That he never was able to read

The things that his writers were writing

That were never a part of his creed.

But the letters were published for years,

And each time they featured his name.

Do you really believe that he never checked in

Just to see what it was they’d proclaim?

There’s something real strange going on here

That’s tarnished Ron Paul’s whole campaign.

His image as stalwart truth-teller

Is about to be flushed down the drain.
