As the House Appropriations Committee met last week to consider four massive spending bills, something was missing: congressional "earmarks." Long dismissed as pork, earmarks had more than quadrupled under the Republican-controlled Congress. By some estimates, lawmakers were quietly adding nearly $19 billion a year in special projects.

When one candidate, Ron Paul, moves and speaks against the grain of both liberal and neo-conservative politicians, we wonder about this person. Some have called him a crackpot extremist because he doesn't fit their image of a "progressive" president. Why I'm impressed by Ron Paul? In one word: Integrity.

It sounds like newspeak," he noted, referring to George Orwell's term for totalitarian doubletalk in his novel "1984."
