The article doesn't mention how many of Ron Paul's earmarks ever get funded. That's because they don't get funded.

None of his earmarks get funded?

An interesting use of time then.

You know they don't. That's why the CoC types that want fed money to renovate their stupid theater say, when congratulated by the local paper, that it's all fine for Ron Paul to submit their earmark to the appropriate committee but that they'd like him a lot more if only he would vote for porky earmarks.

The problem is that to get your own porky earmarks, you have to collude with the other porksters in Congress. And Ron Paul won't do it. Therefore, he gets no earmarks that he submits.

An interesting use of time then.

How ignorant and malicious can you be? Really.

He has an earmark list that was less than 70 items, each a single page made from a word processor template. These earmark requests are submitted to the relevant committee.

My estimate is that it probably takes about one afternoon for a single staffer to type them up and deliver them to the appropriate committee.
