Nevertheless, none of the current presidential candidates are Masons.
Nah, gotta play devil's advocate here.

What allows you to definitively make that statement. Is it 1) because you are a Freemason, and because of that fact alone, you have insider information on brethren membership? And/or 2) is it because you are of such a high-rank in the craft that you are privy (more so than the average mason) to the non-membership status of Obama or Paul? And/or 3) has this question been asked multiple times in multiple places within masonry itself (Lodge forums, monthly magazines, or official statements, etc.); and thus the question has been answered in the negative by some authority that speaks for the craft and we, as non-initiates, do not yet know about it?

At a Ron Paul forum, I read some mason claim in the affirmative. When asked to elaborate, he said because I have held Lodge with Brother Obama personally.

I want Chad to prove Ron Paul is a Mason just so I can call him (RP) "Brother." I would be honored indeed to do so.

Regardless, if any of those were Masons, they'd be on the cover of practically every Masonic magazine in print.

No one "owns" Kraft Foods or Pepsi, they are publicly traded companies.

1.52 billion shares of stock, and 75% is institutionally owned (mutual funds and retirement funds)... The rest is in the hands of private citizens... Even you could own a "slice" of Kraft (I just made a cheese joke).
