Young millionaire's PAC seeks influence in races

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- College student John Ramsey stands out in a new campaign finance world order filled with big names like Republican casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and Democratic Hollywood producer Jeffrey Katzenberg.
The senior at Stephen F. Austin University is the founder of a team of college-age Republicans - liberals have dubbed it the "Brat PAC" - that helped propel one congressional candidate to victory and intends to get involved in other House races.
Ramsey is just the latest wealthy individual to try to influence federal elections in the wake of a series of federal court decisions that deregulated the campaign finance system and dramatically changed the country's political landscape.
It's not just his age - he's 21 - that sets him apart. There's his source of means: He turned $1 million of his inheritance into the Liberty For All Political Action Committee. And there's this: He's part of an army of young Ron Paul supporters who have turned their attention to federal, state and local races after their libertarian-leaning hero's presidential hopes were dashed once again.

Thank you USSC. 
Yet another person born on 3rd base who wants to buy elections in order to get more tax cuts for the "job creators", while cutting "entitlements" for those lazy poor folks. Isn't this fantastic?
But I have a question about this, though. Since John Ramsey supported Ron Paul, what is he doing trying to buy elections? Wasn't Paul one of the Goppers who wanted money out of politics, and supposedly "could not be bought" by special interests?
