   Ron Paul defends seeking funds for Texas district

   WASHINGTON - Presidential contender Ron Paul said Sunday that despite his philosophy of cutting government spending, he was justified in requesting funding for special projects, known as earmarks, for his Texas congressional district.

   Paul, the libertarian-leaning GOP lawmaker from Lake Jackson, said on NBC's Meet the Press that he has requested earmarks "because I represent people who are asking for some of their money back."

   "They steal our money," said Paul, during a heated exchange with the show's host, Tim Russert, who questioned whether he was being true to his convictions.

   This year Paul requested 65 earmarks, more than any other congressman in the Houston area, including money for the renovation of an old movie theater in Edna and wild shrimp marketing.

   Paul's congressional district also has been among the top in Texas in receipt of federal assistance since 2000, receiving $31 billion from Washington, according to a study by the group OMB Watch. In the first nine months of the 2006 fiscal year, the district received $4 billion in federal aid.

   His district, which hugs the Gulf Coast, and reaches into Brazoria County, receives a substantial amount of flood control aid.

   Paul said that although he has requested earmarks, he did not vote for the final spending bills that include the special projects.

   "I'm saying I represent my people. They have the request, it's like taking a tax credit," he said. "That's the system. I'm trying to change the system."

   With his anti-war stands and calls for limited government, Paul has drawn an intense following and smashed fundraising records, collecting more than $18.5 million so far in the fourth quarter of this year.

   But he was questioned on Meet the Press about some of his past stands, including his call to eliminate the Central Intelligence Agency.

   Paul said he would maintain a number, but not all of the CIA duties.

   "They're involved in torture. I would abolish that, yes," he said. "But I wouldn't abolish their right and our requirement to accumulate intelligence for national defense purposes."

   Paul also sought to explain his comments last week about a recent Christmas-themed ad run by GOP candidate Mike Huckabee that included bookshelves in the form of a cross in the background.

   Last week Paul criticized the ad, quoting Sinclair Lewis as saying, "when fascism comes to this country, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross."

   Paul said that he had not seen the ad when he made the comment, adding his response was "an instantaneous reflex."

   He said he didn't think Huckabee's ad represented the potential of fascism.

   Nevertheless, Paul said that he believed the United States has been moving toward fascism over the last 100 years.

   "We're not moving toward a Hitler-type fascism, but we're moving toward a softer fascism," he said. "Loss of civil liberties, corporations running the show, big government in bed with big business."

   If you are going to require other politicians to stop the earmarks, then he needs to live by his own standards.

   I stop in to the forum one time and wow, they don't realize they are persecuting all christians when they continue the garbage about them. It seems all are lumped into one pile.
   
   

   Matt.5

   1. [10] Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
   2. [11] Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
   3. [12] Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
   4. [44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
