How sad... Paulie-tards, go home! [/quote] Yeah that insurance crap is such BS. Why the hell would anyone spend welfare money on insurance when they could buy cigarettes and Old Milwaukee beer knowing that FEMA would always rebuild their trailor home in tornado alley regardless. Yeah that Ron Paul, what a spineless bastard. [/quote] Well, unless you are a Congressman from Texas and a hurricane comes through. Ron Paul says he opposes federal disaster relief for the tornado victims, but on the other hand, his office shepherded hundreds of FEMA claims for hurricane damage in his district in Texas, ensured the reconstruction of the county's seawall, and won federal funding for an extensive beach nourishment project. Beach nourishment? Nice pork. Between 1999 and 2009, federal spending in Galveston County quadrupled to more than $4 billion. In 2009, the county received $14,707 per resident, topping average per capita federal spending in 46 of the 50 states. Paul earmarked some $60 million for projects in and around the city that year. [/quote] Yeah, thats some pretty gnarly shit. Imagine that wirey white fellow in your district that you voted for 12 times and kept getting re-elected because he kept returning your hard earned tax dollars back to your own district instead of letting congress appropriate it scientists that wanted to use that money to measure the flatulence release from cows in Iowa to determine what affect they had on global warming. It's no wonder why this planet is on fire! :dead3: Isn't it wonderful how our governement works. [/quote] Yep, and what's good for disaster stricken people in Galveston Oc. Texas (our tax dollars used for Federal relief) is not good for the disaster stricken people in the midwest. So is Ron Paul in favor of Federal disaster relief or not? He certainly pumped millions of dollars of earmarks into his home district, and of course we will all know everything we ever wanted to know about about beach nourishment. [/quote] Every single decision that Ron Paul make is 100% Constitutional. Thats it. Lastly a short comment on Earmarks. He hates em, thinks they suck. Unconstitutional and all that crap. However, since Earmarks are here he has to deal with them. He has 2 options. 1. he can vote to send the Earmarks $ back to his district and let the people make good use of it. -or- 2. Nothing and let the Earmarks go back to congress so they can do what they want with it. Paul would much rather see the People get the money (after all it's theirs) rather than give it back to Congress to spend on more worthless shit. [/quote] OK, so let me see if I can follow your logic from the above. 1. Every decision Ron Paul makes is constitutional. 2. Earmarks are unconstitutional. (Would appreciate your legal reference citing their unconstitutionality. Not that I support them, but I hadn't previously known that they were unconstitutional. You being a constitutional scholar of far greater intellect than myself, I'll defer that research to you.) 3. Ron Paul votes for earmarks directed to his district. So if earmarks are unconstitutional and Ron Paul votes for them, then at least some of his decisions are unconstitutional, right? And then: 1. Ron Paul (or any other congressman) can (1) vote the send the earmarks to his or her district, or (2) let the earmarks go back to Congress so they can do what they want with it. But of course Congress is composed of congressmen, so that's sort of circular, but the logic supports earmark spending. [/quote] The judicial branch is who gets the earmark money if they go unspent.
