Ron Paul says he's a fake and "I'm real, I'm real" was all Rick Santorum could say in response. That's the moment from the Arizona debate that people will remember.
But the real fake on fiscal conservativism may be Ron Paul. He claims that in all his years in Congress he voted for only one appropriations bill. Fiscal conservatism is not the guy who says No, No, No to the final bill while arranging to take care of his district in committee. It's the guy who talks the legislators into voting Yes, Yes, Yes for lower levels of spending.
So what if President Ron Paul vetoes every single appropriations bill that comes to his desk as President, if the Capitol Hill game is that his veto gets overridden every single time.
