In reply to the discussion: Ron Paul One Of The Most Corrupt Members Of Congress, Report Finds [View all]Thinkingabout
(30,058 posts)17. The truth is "No Spend" Paul charged lots for his travel, no cheap deals for him.
Instead of purchasing his tickets early his excuse was he might to have to change his travel plans but a cheap ticket with changes was cheaper than the tickets he was purchasing. He is rotten to the core, attaching earmarks to bills he knew was going to pass and voted against the bills while claiming he did nit vote for any spending and run to his district with the proceeds. The Paul ots will defend hi. to the end but it does not change his dirty games.

Right. Or--- they control the whole planet, but they're terrified of your AR-15.

It's good to know double billing of travel expenses is as corrupt as US Congress members get.

While double billing travel expenses is unethical, and corrupt...this is one of the MOST corrupt?

No doubt. But this is nonetheless fun to rub into the faces of PaulBots everywhere.
