Ron Paul's Earmark Requests

Even Ron Paul can't break the addiction. But wait, it's actually a DEEPLY PRINCIPLED earmark request: Paul apparently believes that because the federal government takes so much money from citizens, it is his job to get back as much as possible (for what or whom? citizens in his district? but why should taxpayers in Oregon have to foot the bill for expansion of a wastewater treatment plant in Fulshear, Texas?)... which sounds a bit to me like saying you're against group sex, but hey if these people over here are ALREADY having a threesome, then pass the vaseline.
