Keep in mind his penchant for Pork (ya know, which totally makes sense since on accounta ya know the people of my district expect me to bring it home, since ya know, it's been paid for so I can't leave it on the table, ya know).

And I simply can't return the Nazi donations, since Nazis support ME not the other way around.

See? It all makes sense in Libertarian land. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

I decline all First Class upgrades (I'm a United Airline Frequent Flyer) if there are any uniformed military onboard. I tell they gate agent to give my free upgrade to the "troops".

I would never pay for first-class. Most of the time you don't even get a meal out of it. Just free drinks.

I hope someone brings this up in the debate tonight. It's Fox news so there's a good chance they will :)

Flying in peasant class by choice? Wouldn't that ruin his productivity. After all Ron Paul has cranked out so MANY great pieces of legislation which are now the law of the land. Like... um.....

Except that Ron Paul supported legislating to implement "Right to Work" for less. When it comes to screwing American workers, Ron Paul always supports such legislation.

Ron Paul is actually known for NOT voting new laws, hence his nickname amongst his collegues as "Dr No".

Oh but he DOES propose new legislation. Like his frequent reintroduction of his FEDERAL mandate against abortions. Latest iteration HR1096 in 2011:

Because you know.... STATES' RIGHTS should be a trump card, except when it's in the Conservative agenda to legislate morality. States can't take that Paulbot blather about "freedom" too serious.

I can believe that. My one big complaint about Ron Paul is that he doesn't acknowledge that slavery to corporations is still slavery.

In a "perfect" libertarian system, all wealth would accumulate in fewer and fewer hands, until the only "free" choice for the 99% would be to work for wages barely above starvation level, or to starve.

And that has nothing to do with personal responsibility, hard work, or risk taking. It's just the mathematical fact that the idle super-rich are already paid WAY more than you are, and their taxes are WAY lower. They will take everything. Everyone else will get nothing.

Unions don't always represent their members, and it's not right to force someone into a union to pay taxes to the union bosses.

In some states non union members are forced to pay union dues, how is that different from some back alley shakedown?

Paul's flights fly in face of cut-spending theme

There once was a young man who spoke like a fool,

not just now and then; but more as a rule!

though it was all in vain,

of dumb shit he'd complain;

such as, "candidates should travel by MULE!"

I told him to take a few of Michelle's flights.
I mean she's wasting Jet fuel like no body's business. At least Ron is an elected official, and not some trying to channel Lady Diane with a gold card.
