The Ron Paul Stimulus View
Politics Daily — Filed under: Economy, Ron PaulAs you'd expect from Texas Congressman Ron Paul, he's not a fan of the stimulus bill.

Then again it's also a suitable segue into this video of Ron Paul channeling his inner Slingblade: Well, it looks like the Senate has come to an agreement on the spending package - some people call it a stimulus package - but it's not a stimulus package it's just a spending package... You go Dr Paul. Sure some of your supporters were off-putting, but what were conservatives thinking when they rallied behind John McCain...
