In reply to the discussion: Ron Paul One Of The Most Corrupt Members Of Congress, Report Finds [View all]Tab
(11,093 posts)39. He reminds me of a 21st-century Ross Perot
Initially he looks fine, revolutionary even. And yet some of his policies and proposals are decidely retrograde. It's important to keep in mind that Paul is a Libertarian more than an Republican. As for double-dipping, I can't speak to that, his persona is that everything is transparent and above-board, but if he really was doing it (to his knowledge, as opposed to his campaign manager) then that to me would be the kiss of death.

The truth is "No Spend" Paul charged lots for his travel, no cheap deals for him.

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.
