Genuine conservatives must continue to run and repel the corruption endorsed by liberal Republicans such as Mr. Alexander. I support cooperation in government but some issues must be held fast or America will sink.

Earmarks are just like signing statements; they’re the obvious symptom of a deeper problem.

It doesn’t mean crap if they “cut the number of earmarks in half.” The only thing that matters is the size of the appropriations bill and Paul will probably be the only one talking about that.
