Ron Paul. A taxpayer's Zero.

Congressman Ron Paul in the Galveston County area is known for his anti-tax votes, sometimes being called the "taxpayers hero". But, he thinks he has done such a great job, he has no problems sucking off the tit of the government for $168,000/year of our tax dollars. So he really isn't a hero. More like a zero.

But in a strange twist, according to the Baytown Sun

Shane Sklar, a Democrat running against Republican Congressman Ron Paul, accused Paul of hypocritically touting Texas hurricane relief funding in a bill, which he actually voted against.

Paul, a former Libertarian Party presidential candidate, represents Texas District 14, which includes Chambers County.

A Sklar release stated that Paul “triumphantly announced that Congress had passed hurricane relief funding and that (Paul) had worked to have 90 percent reimbursement for Texas communities affected by Hurricane Rita” included in the bill, called The Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Hurricane Recovery.

...

But while Paul took credit in a press release for the Texas funding in the bill, “the release fails to mention, however, that Paul voted against the bill.

So not only does Paul have his lips sewn to the tit of the government, he is taking credit for providing the milk! Keep sucking Ronnie! You are doing a hell of a job!
