24. Then we disagree...
Rand cannot "disassociate" himself from this man while keeping his money.

So if I give money to Rand Paul and then run around flashing old ladies, Paul is responsible for my behavior because he kept the money?

Hmmmm, what if I only gave Rand $10 as opposed to $100? Am I only ten percent as responsible as the other guy or does a one dollar contribution put Rand 100% on the hook?

We're not talking about five or six contributors handing over $100,000 a piece. We;re talking about millions of contributors. Now how can we expect a candidate to be responsible for the behavior of all those people?

In Profitt's case, it's not the money that makes Rand responsible for his actions as one of his campaign organizer. It's the fact that he worked directly for Rand that does.

Verbally condemning the man, but keeping his money in your coffers?

What better way to punish Profitt then to keep his money. Certainly you don't want to reward his bad behavior by giving him money...do you?
