Yea, right. Turn the money over to Obama and his thugs.

You've got a point there. I've got a lot more confidence in Paul's judgment that I do in Obama's. In fact, I agree with almost all of Paul's domestic platform. He is one of the few folks in DC that really understands the Constitution.

But when it comes to earmarks, you are either part of the problem or part of the solution.

there is no shortage of people who understand the constitution in Washington. Rather, the shortage is of people who will let it guide their voting.

No, they are not stupid in DC. They are evil.

I believe you do not understand earmarks. Once budgeted, the money is going to be spent, one way or another. Why not spend it transparently.

The real problem is not earmarks, but the budgeting process.

Is not an earmark simply a means of insuring money goes where it is intended to go? And is it not a transparent means of doing that? I am having a hard time understand what the problem is with earmarks. Perhaps someone could explain it to me.

Pat Gray has a long history of hating Ron Paul. Why I don't know, but he and Ed Hendi used to rip Paul just about everyday on the air here in Houston before Pat Gray left to join Glenn Beck.
