In 2009, RuPaul was named the “Earmark King” of CONgress.

Kindly explain how that’s considered fiscally Conservative in any way, shape, or form.

You may disagree with his reasoning on this issue, but I don't see how you can deny that if he (or any representative) does not designate where the money goes, then it is decided by the executive branch, without the same transparency. He votes against the bills in the first place, but if others pass a bill and the tax-payers are going to have their money stolen, then the earmarks are to give them back their money that was stolen, rather than it go to Obama who will spend it elsewhere.

And to answer your question, he is a fiscal conservative because he always votes against spending in the first place, and because he wants to drastically slash the size and scope of government. He wants to abolish entire departments... look at all the other so-called Republicans who support all of those programs and departments and continue to grow the government... sometimes even more than the Dems.
