Here is the Ron Paul game.

He puts every piece of Pork he can in the budget. He finesses them through committee and through the opening votes. He works hard again and again to keep them in.

He even votes for them in the final budget bill that goes to the Senate.

Of course, when it comes back from the Senate it has a few changes, so a Conference Committee works out the small differences then sends the bills back for one more ceremonial vote,

It passes about 420-1, with a few abstentions or absent Members. The one no vote in this meaningless vote is Paul's, so he can claim he voted against it.

Like I said, a complete phony
