WASHINGTON — Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul on Sunday defended his efforts in Congress to bring home money to his Texas district, despite his long-held aversion to big government and congressional votes to reign in federal spending.
“I’ve never voted for an earmark in my life,” the Texas congressman said under questioning on NBC’s Meet the Press about reports that he has requested hundreds of millions of dollars for special projects in his home district.
“I put them in because I represent people who are asking for some of their money back,” said Paul, who likened it to taking a tax credit. “I’m against the tax system, but I take all my tax credits. I want to get their money back for the people.”
The 10-term congressman and longshot candidate for the Republican presidential nomination added that although he has requested special projects known as earmarks, he ultimately ends up voting against them in the House. Paul is known in Congress as “Dr. No” for his votes against some types of government spending, including a medal for Pope John Paul II and civil rights leader Rosa Parks because of the cost to taxpayers.

Why would this Republican RINO support something and then NOT support it??
Sounds a bit like John F’n Kerry to me, OR, maybe he really is an addled brained old moonbat… 😕

To the Paulinistas that are going to flock here to defend your NAZI god, your comments will never show up on this blog, the opinions of Paul expressed by me, and the folks that DO show, are there because we are totally AGAINST your moonbat leader…Now toddle off to your own little blogs and tell the whole world what a one way asshole TexasFred is…Â 🙂

So, I am guessing your acusations and threats are as FAKE as your email…

LMAO!
The one thing that’s becoming more and more obvious is his inability to lie well, and he has an excuse for everything.
Contradiction is this man’s middle name, with a strong emphasis on the ‘dic’ part…
Gunz, it’s almost sad, they say, “Why don’t you present the facts??” and we do, then they don’t LIKE the facts, so they say, “Why won’t you debate with us??”, well, I don’t debate crazy people…
I tried to email back to this one and ask a SERIOUS question, and what do I get?? A Paulie spammer using a FAKE email address…
Their hypocrisy knows no boundaries…
YO…yankee bitch …I know that is not Lilo. Feel free to sober your drunken ass up and get a life. Maybe take care of your children. Nah..that would require a heart, and honeychile…you ain’t got one.
Good luck with taking over the blogosphere. You are tenacious, bless your heart. Or lack there of.
Lumps of coal for the Paultards! Hypocritical little bitches.
Ron Paul is a hypocrite and his loyal paultards are nothing more then a collection of malcontents, losers, 9/11 truthers and drug addicts.
Damn Joe, you gotta stop holding back man, tell us how you REALLY feel… 🙂
Been telling people (Rupauls) for a long time about this. Paul never votes on a bill that has earmarks, he simply adds his earmarks to bills that will pass no matter if he votes no or not.
He can continue to be the only ‘constitutional’ congressman and still get his pork.
And of course it never hurts to pick up some skinhead donations while you’re at it 🙂
Again I state : Lost in Lima did not write this. That trash comes from the deep dark cellar of someones mind.
Bring it on bitch. But step up, and bring it to me, leave these kind folks out of it. Come on…I’m waiting. You terrified me once. That was it….c’mon…I have a surprise for you.
the irony is that there are some things that Paul claims to stand for that I also stand for..a revision of the tx code for example..smaller government with less government control over my life..a Federal budget that makes sense..but his ideas on isolationism are right out of the capital ‘L’ libertarian text book. This earth is too small for an isolationist policy.
I am still supporting Fred as the best of the rest and will do so until someone else comes along that makes better sense than Fred.
I dont care who you are…
thats funny right there!!!
