Someone was trying to convince me Ron Paul had a large earmark attached to the Omnibus Bill but I can find no record of such. Does anyone know if its true?

It's been Paul's practice for some years to load up appropriations bills with as much pork as possible for his district...then vote against them on the floor.

This practice allows him to have it both ways.

If everyone did what Paul did these bills wouldn’t pass.

It’s simple, you either vote for or against the appropriations bill.
