Ron Paul, who says he's all about personal responsibility, personal choices, personal freedoms, individual rights, freedom of expression, the legalization of drugs and the freedom of The Internet seems to have some rather opposing views when it comes to his campaign volunteers.
Quote:
Ron Paul college age volunteers say they are under strict orders: To look, dress, shave, sound and behave in a way that will not jeopardize Mr. Paul’s chances. Even before flying here on their own nickel, some students said they had been instructed to cover up tattoos and told that their faces should be fresh-shaved or beards neatly trimmed, wearing only nice clothes that one described as “business casual.”
No tats,” another volunteer, Rocco Lucente, said as he ticked off the rules after arriving at the airport Tuesday night. No liquor, no drugs and, he said, no “fraternizing in the dorms, nothing like that.”
And,oh yeah, don't talk to reporters and stay off the Internet.

But Paul doesn't need a sidekick to fill his plate at the breakfast buffet, fetch his coffee, whisper talking points into his ear, or get rid of pesky reporters -- he does that all himself, thank you very much. Asked if he's concerned that if he doesn't win his followers will not rally behind the GOP nominee, he looks up from his plate of cantaloupe, honeydew, eggs, sausage and biscuit and says brusquely, "Right now, the only thing that bothers me is people who don't respect my privacy enough to leave me alone for five minutes when I'm eating breakfast." And then he goes back to reading his USA Today.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him." Leo Tolstoy, 1897
The last thing any candidate needs is some freak representing them with tatoos all over his/her body.
Yeah....or a guy with a goatee or a beard. (Obviously there are no Orthodox Jews allowed to campaign for Ron Paul) Or someone with a Twitter account. Or a college kid in blue jeans and a Tim Tebow TeeShirt. Or a 22 year old with a beer in his hand after hours.
It also leaves out 34% of our active military force...since that's the percentage of people currently in the Armed Forces with one or more tattoos - to say nothing of those who are veterans. If I were Ron Paul, I'd be looking for my military donations to nose dive sometime soon.
BUt - who cares - Freaks, all of 'em. Freaks....riding on a bus with the slogan “Our Liberties We Prize and Our Rights We Will Maintain,” - all the while covering up their "Ameican First" tattoos, cutting their hair to conform to someone else's standard and forsaking their Twitter account and their unaliable right to free speech in 120 characters or less.

Your laughable, your reaching, and it's obvious...
If you don't get this, you don't get much of anything else. He's asking people to be presentable as he import volunteers, I am sure every other campaign as well does this.
This is modus operandi for the people he wants to appeal to: white supremists, anti-semitics, homophobics.. god forbid that any of them deviate from the mainstream norm.
