None of his earmarks get funded?

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.

I think the thing to keep in mind about folks who are on a Jihad Against Ron Paul is that while they are more then willing to attack Dr. Paul, they never bother to extend their logic to their own candidates.

To hug the truly pitiful libertarian practice of “peeing contest to see who is the most ideologically pure candidate” is to miss the fact that the issues Ron Paul talks about are actually “Conservative Republican” issues, from abortion to taxes to the 2nd amendment, Ron Paul has consistently supported a Constitutional Orginalist view of the Role of Government in America.

Only die ahrd libertarians and ron paul bashers can actually say “See, he isn’t perfect, he wanted 237,000 for the shrimp industry, and because he cheated on us, well...I’ll just go vote for Fred”

If we use the same yardstick to measure a Fred Thompson candidacy that is being used to measure a Ron Paul candidacy, the comparison isn’t even close, Thompson looks like a socialist in comparison to Paul, but that never breaks the stride of the Jihady’s attack on Paul.

There is a brightside however, they are bemusing in their jivvy toves....
