‘Claiming he should go back to his voters and say :”I made sure you got nothing except the bill for the other states earmarks” is just a silly got-ya setup similar to :”If you were consistent with my version of your position you would not be in congress”’
That is what John Boehner, among others, has done for years. Too bad that Ron Paul is not as strong a supporter of reducing government spending as Rep. Boehner.
Paul has some bad positions but the argument you are making is ridiculous.
Boehner just convinced his caucus to pass a FY11 (half year)budget by lying to them and claiming it had $40B in cuts when it only had 1/2 billion. That is 1/80 of what he told them to get their vote promise and that last CR passed.
Boehner pushed TARP and Bush stimulus 1 on his minority members in 2008. He is the king RINO bankrupter and never should have stayed on. What do I care if he pushes through massive debt bills with no earmarks for himself? So he saves one million dollars in a bill he rams through that runs up a trillion dollars in debt? Who gives a crap?
With his flaws, Paul voted against all that crap.
