It is against THAT backdrop that Ron Paul is voting, and to turn his principled vote into some flag waving rant about "abandoning the troops" is just plain stupid.

Can you explain to me what good his "principled vote" accomplished....'cause I already know about the harm.

What he did accomplished nothing except for showing him to be of the same mind-set as Murtha.

Can you explain to me what good his "principled vote" accomplished..

Sure, as soon as you let me know what a "nay" vote would have accomplished....., or for that matter, what any vote OR non-vote would have accomplished, except to throw red meat to the mindless.
