Funny how he bitches about wasteful spending yet puts in for 400 million worth of earmarks that by his own standard should have been funded by the state or through fundraising efforts by the organizations that will benefit from his pork.

He's still a Congressman who has to attend to the needs of his district. At least he looks at the bigger picture and realizes that the system stinks and if he had his way, there'd be no earmarks or pork-barrel.

Funny how he whines about NAFTA and how we’re going to lose our sovereignty because of it, and his claims that he’s against the NAFTA Superhighway, yet he requests 43 million dollars to help pay for it.

The money allocated to the TTC was for studies, not actual construction. And that's a good thing, because it would've brought the project into the public for scrutiny. Or would you rather have it financed by private money behind smoky backrooms.

His requests were still earmarks....The same damn thing that he whines about being “unconstitutional”. If those organizations needed funding then the state should have provided it OR they raise the money through fundraising efforts.

Oh how liberal of you....More spin spin spin on your part.

All you paul supporters are the same....You refuse to accept the facts about the BS artist you worship.

Ron Paul is a charlatan... a snake oil salesman with an American flag label on the “cure-all” bottles with “We the People” scrawled across them. I’m waiting for Josey Wales to walk up to his podium and spit tobacco juice on his lapel.
