Don't believe the hype you're hearing, folks. Ron Paul asks for just as many, or more special interest projects and special allocations of money as any other congressman in washington. He has this funny little game that his moronic supporters can't fathom, he actually introduces bills asking for money for projects, then votes AGAINST the bills, so he can tell everybody that he's never voted for a special interest or "pork" bill.
Examples of the more than 60 bills he introduced this year, then voted against (lol, what a prick) include
- Money to rebuild a theatre in Texas
- Money to subsidize the Texas Shrimp Industry
- Money to fund a local trolley system
Another little trick he pulls is that when people vote to strike down a pork project.... Dr. Paul doesn't vote for that. So, he essentially votes *for* pork projects by refusing to vote against them. Things that he refused to vote against in the last couple years include things like $150,000 dollars for an Aquarium in South Carolina (not his state), $129,000 for the "perfect Christmas Tree project", 500 grand for a Mule and Packer museum in Cali, etc.
Just to clarify, he didn't vote "for" ANY of this shit. He just picks and chooses what he votes *against*. There are some hardcore (more than he) people in congress that put up votes against all these pork projects, and he votes to strike some down, and votes against some. So effectively, a vote against an 'anti pork' bill is a vote FOR the pork. Last year, for instance, he voted against 12 pork projects but voted to keep 38 of them, that were up to be struck out.
HE'S NEVER VOTED FOR A PORK PROJECT, THOUGH!!!! That's fucking amazing! Now, if he'd just stop flooding congress with them by introducing them as bills, maybe we'd get somewhere, Dr. Paul! And maybe if he'd stop being a hypocrite and vote against ALL of them like he says he will, instead of letting the ones slide by that he actually supports, that would be pretty fuckin' cool too.
Another funny little thing is he voted for Term Limits, but has served 10 terms himself. I know, I know, it's not illegal, the law says you can serve as long as you want. However, if he feels that terms should be limited, why hasn't he limited his own? H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E

I won't even respond because Jrome already explained this to you twice. Just because you start a new thread about it, doesn't make you're argument any more credible or true. Are you starting to get board of explaining how you get a hard on every time you think of how awesome the Wii is? Or are you just trying to redeem yourself after Tech ethered you (yet again). I mean a politician who isn't honest? This is a revolutionary concept. And I thought you couldn't top yourself when you boldly predicted that Ron Paul wouldn't win a state in the election. It's not like every political pundit hasn't said that every time Paul is mentioned on CNN/FOX News.

So in other words, you agree that the man isn't honest, and is a hypocrite? Then why run a campaign based on a. honesty, and b. no pork when he himself is one of the biggest promoters of pork earmarks in Congress?
Ron Paul is a laughing stock of anybody with a mind. His hypocrisy is only topped by Hillary Clinton.

A laughing stock? lol the naive and just blatantly stupid conservative supporters never once think to question the conservative values of those who call them themselves conserative!
They support pre emptive wars
They support gun grabbing legislation
They support shutting down the second amendment
They support open borders
They support unlimited printing of the dollar
They wholeheartedly support globalism
They support open borders
They support the NAU
They support all of the disgusting laws supressing peoples rights
They support the selling of major infrastructure for pennies on the floor
They are owned and controlled by private lobbies.
The sick fucks even support torture
Many of them, especially republicans are sick perverts
They support the burning of the constitution in every shape and form and only when these sick fucks are salivating over the prospect of more war and chaos do they wrap the american flag around themselves.
What's worse is these sick fucks sit on both sides of the senate
As for Guliani he is a hated scumbag in New York who has condemned tens of thousands of first responders to their death.
However what's worse is you consciously know yourself and yet you seem to find a great pleasure in all of the despicable actions.
