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.
Ron Paul's vote on this is pathetic.
No he sticks it up his @$$ to make sure he is still full of $#i+.
R(ue)n Paul is a certified nut job.
Who says our government MUST be the world policeman?
Show me in the constitution that our government and or troops are to intervene in every ded-gum crisis worldwide.
Frankly, I'm a bit tired of working my butt off to pay for all these global handouts. We can't afford it.
Now, North Korea shoots a missile in the direction of U.S. territory.............the constitution allows for the DEFENCE of this nation. Go get’em and squash’em with all we have.
But can someone tell me....why the hell are we still in Iraq?
We went in with the intention of staying.
I think it's high time we bring our troops home to protect our freakin borders and our homeland.
These damn countries around the world love us all to death when their @sses are on the line, but shortly after...they want us gone.
Some appreciation huh?
Give all this globe trottin over to the blue helmets or the French.
Even Keith Ellison didn't vote nay. He voted present. That is the position of neutrality here. A nay vote is tantamount to support for the Islamic Regime. Again, even Ellison knew that, that's why most people here are portraying Paul as a schmuck, and you what, they're right. I'm sure there was an opportunity to voice his opinion on the senate floor during debate, especially since he is the only one holding that view.
The fact that he doesn't have a meaningful grasp of what a nay vote here really means just shows...(how can I put this nicely)...that he's out of touch with the rest of us sentient beings.
you have a point about Mr Paul. When i am in the senate in thirty years or so, that is how I will be, except much more conservative than he.

Agree.
Yup. Even when he's dead wrong. Libertarians should stand for Liberty!
