  As for the Ron Paul article "The most corrupt member of congress" , I almost stopped right there. When the author attempts to deceive right from the start with a title that is grossly inaccurate in defining that accusation, you can bet its agenda driven.

  I remember that story. Even if he did double bill some air fare (I doubt it), he more than covered it by returning the leftover money from his House office budget every year. And by not taking a federal pension.

  No, it hasn't. It might have regained it's nominal amount, but those dollars don't go nearly as far as they did.

  Wedge...the link you provided shows that West has done nothing illegal or even shady for that matter, provided his foundation is truly a charity...and there is NO indication that it is not.

  West is still an idiot. The Republican version of Jim Traficant, only more stupid.

  I don't think that it is any secret the left doesn't like West.

  West has a better shaped head than Traficant ...
  
  As a Democrat I liked Traficant .... I meet him in a business deal (little illegal but I made money and he protected his ass) but other that, he was a very nice individual
