josh....the distinction I would make is that Ron Paul does not only want the change the rules on earmarks, he says without reservation that they are unconstitutional.
If he believe that strongly in his constitutional interpretation, he should stand by it all the way and not act in what he believes is an illegal manner. He is trying to play it both ways that IMO is counter to his conviction. He should tell his constituents right up front that he will not submit earmarks and stand or fall on that position...or back off from the constitution argument.
John McCain believes earmarks are fiscally irresponsible and will not request any on behalf of his constitutents. His constituents know that and accept it.
