Some claim Paul to be the most honest man in politics.
Let's have a look at that, shall we.
Travel records show Paul wasted $27,621 of
taxpayer money on his travel expenses.
Paul billed taxpayers for 31 round-trips and 12 one-way flights,
all first class, since may 2009.
Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) has been reimbursed twice for air travel repeatedly over the last 10 years.
Reporter Jonathan Strong claimed to have identified eight separate instances from 1999-2009
where Paul took reimbursement for his travel from the taxpayers, and then again from his campaign or another organization he controlled
. Another 25 earlier instances showed nearly $15,000 in reimbursements that were the same as or similar to reimbursements paid by third parties.

So where is that honesty and integrity I keep
hearing about ???
I don't call stealing money from taxpayers
as being honest, do you ???
Why bill the taxpayers again when your PAC is
paying for your travel ???
