>>>Paul is not only raving mad, he is very corrupt if in fact he is earmarking, then voting against.<<<
You have been greatly deceived. Ron Paul is one of the most sane people to ever hold political office.
Regarding voting against every budget, you are correct that he does, in every case. He will not vote for a budget until there are no unconstitutional expenditures. His earmarking is a strategy to increase transparency. Nothing more, nothing less. He would prefer the entire budget be earmarked so we can see how our money is spent. Even better, reduce the budget to include only constitutionally authorized expenditures.
>>>Beck is also a raving lunatic, but a lunatic with very good fact checkers.<<<
His fact checking was poor this time, as is the fact checking for quite a few Freepers on this matter.
>>>I would guess you have some motive for attempting to shoot Beck down on this, with a unsubstantiated post attacking a man (Beck) who is very important to at least a small percentage of Free Republic members.<<<
My motive is this: Beck smeared an honorable man with half-truths and innuendos.
>>>Evidently you find Paul lacking yourself, or you just like stirring the pot.<<<
Not really. I am only trying to set the record straight. Paul’s record on earmarking has been spun by haters and the ignorant to make his honorable intentions appear to be dishonorable.
