The Ron Paul who whines about earmarks but never met one he didn't take for his own district?
The Ron Paul who whines about term limits but made a career out of congress?
You should really read up more about him before making and epic size fool of yourself.
RP does not like earmarks but as he states, the money is taken from us so I have to get it back until I can't stop it from being taken. Then, as someone said above, RP votes against the bill.
Same goes for his term limits, he wants to limit how long someone can be in congress but there is only one way he can ever manage to get rules like that passed and thats to be in congress until the rule is changed. That would be like me saying "so you believe in gloabal warming and yet you drive your car to work everyday." You would claim that until things change you can only work to change them.
So, your attacks on RP like so many others are weak and desperate. Your attack is aimed at the politically lazy people because they wont bother to look any deeper than they are told.
Take your own advice junior. I created this thread during the Republican Presidential Primaries and was shocked to find out what a porker Radical Paul was! In the original post, I listed links to my RELIABLE sources!
You should do your own HW!

Senate:
(1) Thad Cochran - Fake Republican out of MS - #1 - $846 million
(13) Clinton - Why am I not surprise she is so high - $296.2 million (This is obviously before she became secretary of State)
(20)Harry Reid- Preach how wasteful the war is, but you waste $259.3 million yourself
(21) Dick Durbin - Please Sauerberg beat this guy (sorry to say Steve lost), he is bleeding IL dry - $256.3 million
(33) Ted Kennedy - One of the worst Americans alive (but now he is dead)- $192.1 million
(34) Lieberman - Yep he is still a Democrat -$149.4 million
(38) Kerry - $138.8 million
(60) Obama - I was actually pleasantly surprised how low he was. However, I am skeptical that it is so low because he hasn't been in office long and his campaigning has interfered with his senate job. - $97.4 million (obviously when he was a senator)
Bottom of the List with a big $0 - that is not spending a cent for all of you slow people!
McCain and Feingold!
Now that is true fiscal conservatism!
The House
http://www.cagw.org/site/DocServer/H...pdf?docID=3022
in the Millions
(1) Wicker - $176.3
(3) Murtha - $159.1
(7) Biden - $139.9 (for his little shitty state)
(19) Pelosi - $91.2
(23) Hobson - $88
Ron Paul - $22.7 million for his tiny district (tiny in size, population, revenue generation, business locals and importance to the country)- middle of the list not sure the number- I was very surprised. You would figure this guy would practice what he preaches and spend nothing (like McCain did), but I guess he is just a politician. There were 276 representative that spent less, including 10 that spent $0!
Here is a list of '08 presidential candidate that spent less than Ron Paul and the number of space they beat him by:
Tancredo - $17.6 - 52 lower
Duncan - $15.9 - 75 lower
Kucinich - $8.1 - 182 lower
Graves - $6.7 - 196 lower
Shocking Ron Paul!
don't confuse him with facts. lol..
