I believe that Dr. Paul's Position on earmarks is 100% correct. Here is what he said on the subject last year in a speech on the House Floor."earmarks are a symptom of the problem, not the cause. The real problem is that the United States government is too big, spends too much, and has too much power.” a crackdown on earmarks, would only grant the executive branch more control over where the money goes. The total amount of spending wouldn’t change. “There’s nothing wrong with designating where the money goes,” so long as the earmark is “up front and everyone knows about it,” rather than having it slipped in at the last minute with no scrutiny. In an ideal world, there wouldn’t be a federal income tax. But since there is, I feel a responsibility to help My constituents recover some of the tax dollars the government has taken from them. “I don’t want them to take it,“but if they do take it, I’d just as soon help my constituents get it back.” Sounds reasonable to me. Long live the Republic, Tex posted by

I hate to be the one to inform you, but Paul just lost his virginity. It's all over the front page of section B: "Paul defends requests for projects." Of course, in the long run, he's still WAY behind Congressman Don Young of Alaska and Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia. Still, I'm a little dismayed. So now he'll be known as Dr. Maybe?
