LOL. He’s for federalism for everyone else, apparently.
I like shrimp and pork. He could serve up all he wants, I’d still vote for Hunter LOL
Shrimp or pork?....neither is KOSHER!....................
I know Texans don’t like to talk about it , but Texas is really big .

Prawn Paul
Paul's spokeswoman, Rachel Mills, said the congressman is aware that his district ranks high as a recipient of federal dollars.
She said Paul will continue to support federal grants to the district,"as long as taxes are taken by force from the people of Texas."
She added, "While Congressman Paul strongly believes that federal spending is out of control, the government has made promises to people in the form of Medicare and Social Security that many rely on, and it would be wrong to break those promises."

Such a rationalizer, that Ron Paul. I'm sure Trent Lott says the exact same thing. But at least Trent Lott doesn't pretend to be a principled small-government federalist.
And I’m sure we are only talking about Medicaire and SS bennies. ROFL.
Given their proportional over-representation (especially in he Senate) i’s just a fact of political life that “red” states tend to be net gainers in Federal tax flows, and that on the average the more rural an area, the greater the advantage. So I think we can take it for granted that there will aways be a tension between political theory and political practice in this regard, irrespective of whether such areas are represented by Democrats or Republicans.
Principles are nice, so is getting reelected.
Add a little cajun seasons, some dirty rice and mmmmmmmmmm.....good eats.
Indeed
Let me state that I am not a Paulite. Now that that’s out of the way I have to question why so much time is spent here on FR denouncing Ron Paul if, as many say here, he doesn’t stand a chance anyway. I really don’t see the Republicans putting forward any candidates of sterling moral character or espousing a platform that’s not socialism lite except maybe Fred Thompson and I wonder about him.
So why all the effort to smear Ron Paul?
I think of 'em as Paulie WalNUTS.
Smear? Calling a candidate on his hypocrisy is a smear?
Because these people don’t want to make war on Saudi Arabia, the true state sponsor of terrorism and Wahabi poison, or even to find Osama Bin Laden. Instead they want to continue to endanger American military men and women and tax us into submission, only to endanger us with their short-sighted foreign policy blunders in Iraq.
It sounded radical at first, but the more I study Islamic history and Islamo-American relations, this is the only conclusion I can come to.
You probably won’t get a reasonable response from the anti-Paul brigade, outside of “he wants to surrender to al-Queda” or some other nonsense.
Ron Paul advocates declaring war on Saudi Arabia?
He is a certified nutcase.
Or did you make that up.
Does he still support impeachment of GWB? From my keyword suggestions.
11. Paul States George Bush is an un-Constitutional President and Should Be Removed from Office"I'd be surprised if they [Democrats] win both - I think they're going to win one body and if they win the House right now they do not say they would have an impeachment but I think the way that place operates I think they probably will make every effort," said Paul.
"If they happened to have a ten or fifteen vote margin that would be a political thing - it would be payback time."
" I would have trouble arguing that he's been a Constitutional President and once you violate the Constitution and be proven to do that I think these people should be removed from office."
12-Paul Accuses George Bush of Advocating Domestic Concentration Camps
Right now we don't have concentration camps, but like you have pointed out, the authority has been given so that concentration camps can come without Habeas Corpus. I have heard the argument that there is nothing else left in the Bill of Rights. If they can lock you up, what good is freedom of speech or what good is a gun? That is now part of the books, part of the law."
