voteronpaul.com— There is big news coming out of Kentucky. Sen. Jim Bunning has announced that he will not seek reelection, leaving the door wide open for my son Dr. Rand Paul to run, win and join me in Washington.

The first step to recovery, is the first honest senator in Congress!The #1 responsibility of Congress is to honor their oaths.Those that don't are criminals.
Actually the $4 million that went to the CFL made money for Paul. They sell his books and knickknacks His supporters websites, many who were rewarded with positions at the CFL, also promoted his products.
Thanks, the FEC was a great ideaWe can see from this form here:<a class="user" href="http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/dcdev/forms/C00432914/357975/" rel="nofollow">http://query.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/dcdev/forms/C0043 ...</a>That $3,500,000 was moved to another committee somewhere around August 2008.Simple arithmetic tells us we can subtract that money from the total, and the result is the money that did not get donated to C4L. Thus, the remainder is the money I question.For the cycle, there was roughly $35,000,000 total in contributions. I apologize for the error. I do see that, after viewing the FEC records, somewhere around $300,000 was returned for whatever reason.So, it would look like this:35 - 3.5 = 31.5We can then conclude that $31.5 million was left over that was not put in to C4L. I do confess after viewing the records that I wasn't aware of just how expensive running a campaign is. However, I do know that most of the Paul family received fairly high salaries while working on the campaign (somewhere around $300-$1k a week depending on the member).I'm still learning how some of these forms are laid out. For example, they claim they had $30 million in operating revenue for the entire period. I think this is probably true, but sounds like a lot, so I'm still assuming I'm a bit confused.I tried to look into the C4L filings, but apparently those are not posted. This makes sense, given the disclaimer at the bottom of the home page."Campaign for Liberty is a 501(c)4 lobbying organization which neither supports nor opposes candidates for public office and claims noresponsibility for the actions of individuals or groups of individuals who use the Campaign for Liberty logo or name or who may claim to act asrepresentatives of the Campaign for Liberty without prior written consent of the Campaign for Liberty."
Watch how many other congresscritters deny that SWEET pension and ask that. Why does it NOT matter??? It's my f**kin' TAX MONEY. f**k, he had to make money some other way, chose a newsletter, staffed it poorly, and people like you are STILL f**kin' whining like babies about him just trying to make a retirement for himself secure from antigynecologist shyster population & insane juries of Texas.I have no idea about his earmarks, and frankly don't give a s**t anymore than you give a s**t about him giving up that SWEET pension (go look it up yourself if you're interested) but I'll also point out he returns a percentage of his office budget every year, something I'll be willing to bet most Democrats DON'T do. You see, whether you like it or not, they're jet buying (when they're not jet-bitching, that is!) HYPOCRITES, and no matter how many times you or various statists bury my comments that fact won't change. It's why I mock you so much.

You paid his pension with the $40 million he got for sitting around doing nothing. Why would he take the House one?

This thread demonstrates the loserdom of the troll hortnon. Classic thread hijacking and delusional mindset on display.

You got yourself a stalker Hortnon. Don't give him your home address, he may show up with duct tape and boxcutters.
