“Example of fraud: votes against all foreign aid except to palestine.”

You may consider that fraud. I call it ending foreign welfare. Why should American taxpayers pay billions to Mohammedan countries, African hellholes, etc. when we are borrowing 40 cents on every dollar? End all foreign aid now and by doing so cut our deficit.

“Example of fraud: claims to want to cut the fed budget but adds millions in ear marks.”

I believe we discussed this upthread, but to revisit the issue one last time: If there are not enough votes to end all earmarks, a congressman who is against earmarks may feel that if his constituents are going to have to pay for pet projects around the country anyway then his district may as well get their fair share, too. I don’t know that I would approach it any differently. If you refused earmarks for your own district on principle I would support that also.

“Example of fraud: knew about those racist, anti-Semitic
letters and contributed to some of them, yet had denied and knowledge until recently.”

This may well be. I don’t know. I know that Perry was slimed early in his campaign because alledgely his family used hunting grounds with an old rock that had a racist name. I suspect Willard will be slimed for the past history of Mormons and blacks. If Newt wins the nomination, some racist charge (real or imagined) will be thrown at him.

“Example of fraud: rails against the GOP establishment, even though he has been in congress for decades doing nothing and has been partnering with Romney to destroy Gingrich and Santorum.”

I rail against the establishment, too. I suggest you do so also. I disagree that by consistly voting “no” Paul has done nothing. Better a no vote on big government spending than a yes vote. Or do you think congressman should vote yes for big government programs?
