I haven’t scrolled, and I haven’t looked, but I’ll bet almost anything it was Ellison. He’s the only ROP adherent in the house.

The House taking a stand. Wow.
Certainly less chickensh!t than Obama's stand...

Ron Paul, my initial guess was right.

Ron Paul. Figures. Ellison did, however, only vote ‘Present’, and that figures.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach; Revolting cat!
So where is Obamas statement? "Oh sh*t."

I think it is useful when folks around the Globe are waiting for a few words from the “Leader of the Free World” to recall this:

I guess all he can do is just evoke the words of great leaders.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
Nope,...see #12.Um, from the article:
Rep. Ron Paul, a Texas libertarian who often speaks out against what he regards as government meddling, cast the sole opposing vote.

Sounds like Ellison is building a presidential resume.

Anybody know any Ron Paul supporters? Has he stated his reasoning, yet?

Ron Paul doesn’t like the US meddling in foreign political affairs, so this seems like a consistent vote for him.

My understanding is the EU also condemned the violence against the Iranian citizens. BO is slowly being hung out to dry all by himself.

Democrats, who are quick to voice their support for Israel anytime the Jewish state is seen as under siege, easily agreed to push through the mildly worded resolution.
What the heck is with that non-sequitur?! Did Israel have anything to do with the resolution? Or does Ms. Flaherty simply believe that all criticism of Muslim tyrants must be due to the "Zionist lobby."
To: 1rudeboy
He favors letters of marque and reprisal, something that has been outlawed by every other country in the civilized world, but can’t bring himself to support a simple expression of solidarity with the Iranian people. Ron Paul is a sad, pathetic little man.
To: KevinDavis
I’m not a libertarian like Paul, so there’s issues with which I disagree. However, there is one thing I will say for the man that I very much admire, even when I’m disagreeing, and that is that he is consistent. Anyone knowing what he’s said in the past on foreign issues would expect him to vote against this. He does NOT stick his finger in the wind to decide how to vote. He is principled and consistent. I always listen to what he has to say because he has won my respect.
