Ron Paul on earmarks and ‘corporate welfare’ (Fact Checker biography)

“I’ve never voted for an earmark in my life.”

-- Remark by Paul on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Dec. 23, 2007


<snip>The congressman also provides a shaky defense -- to say the least -- of his earmark requests. It appears, from the way he operates, that he doesn’t want to do his own dirty work. He makes spending requests and votes against them while other lawmakers support the measures, bringing the money to his district anyway.

There are far simpler ways to make his point if he really thinks the earmark system fosters corruption. One obvious example: he could abstain from earmarks altogether.

----------------------------------------------------

So the prick loads up spending Bills that he knows are going to pass with his own earmarks and then votes against them so he can later declare, “I’ve never voted for an earmark in my life.”

Sounds like real a snake doesn't he?
