What is the basis for the "supports lobbyist gifts to congress" item in the issues tab? I realize many (probably most) of Dr. Paul's positions are more nuanced than can easily be indicated by a yes/no type of arrangement, and many of these nuanced positions (such as "free trade") are reasonably well represented by the accompanying text, but "lobbyist" has no such explanation. If nothing else, his long record of not accepting junkets or other perks from lobbyists would indicate at least personal opposition to such gifts and should be noted in the "issues" explanations... Thanks Purple.
