McCain-Feingold. Yet another in a long line of Incumbent Protection Acts.

I think you are wrong.

RON PAUL,

because he actually acts on his beliefs, rather than being a giant douchebag and voting in pork.

I would honestly forgive just about any politician for anything ever if they swore off ever voting for pork spending bills.

Are you a supporter of Tom Coburn? I think the guy is nuts on a lot of his positions but respect that he is sincere about fighting pork.

Never heard of him, but if he exists then i'm glad. Perhaps he can make the famous 'Approved by DannyOcean_" list.

Ron Paul is many things, but he is hardly kosher when it comes to pork.

This is the one issue with Dr. Paul that greatly, greatly disappoints me. While his rationalizations for the earmarks he's requested may seem plausible (he's just passing on the requests of his constituents as is his constitutional duty, he is just trying to recover funds lost from his district to federal taxes, he votes against the appropriations bills that contain his pork requests, etc.), they are really just that: rationalizations. For unconstitutional pork barrel spending. Period.

This is one issue where he needs to take a page from Jeff Flake's playbook.

I just made a post in response to the Paul Pork article, explaining why, even though I completely agree that the issue is Paul's great ideological weakness, and may be his Achilles Heel, it will not change my support of him in the upcoming presidential election. I made a handy Venn diagram to illustrate my reasons and summarize my argument:
