He can be a lil' kooky, but sometimes Ron Paul makes the 14th District proud
Congressman Ron Paul and Congressman Harry Mitchell are again joining forces to stop the increase in pay that Members of Congress automatically get every year unless it is voted down. To this end, they have introduced H.R. 4255, the Stop the Automatic Pay Raise for Members of Congress in FY2011. A “Dear Colleague” letter was sent out today inviting other Members to sign on as cosponsors of the bill.
Their efforts to stop the pay raise for 2010 was successful earlier this year. It is their strong belief that with high unemployment and the economic turmoil the nation continues to face, it is absolutely inappropriate for Members of Congress to raise their own pay.
“We Members of Congress should not be padding our pocketbooks when our constituents are still tightening their belts and losing their jobs,” stated Congressman Paul.

In what way is Dr. Paul "kinky," I mean "kooky"? Is this the modern term for refusing to go over the cliff with the lemming herd with the hopes that a small minority might reverse course and survive to warn the others?
I thought his idea of abolishing the FBI was kooky.
The term "kinky" is more appropriate as for the first name of our favorite son Friedman for Governor.
