Yes, he would be great having him on debates, etc. But the thing is that when the chips are down (as they are now when dealing with Pelosi,etc.) we need to stand firm. Ron, can't go around with a chip on his shoulder trying to make a point NOW. His fight is with congress regarding the WOT, not necessarily with the White House. He should have abstained, or just voted present.

As an aside, not a single politician in DC is straight. They are all looking for freebies or deals. I used to lobby there.

Agreed. What annoys me the most is that in the past, he has voted "no" on resolutions simply because he disagreed with the concept of congressional resolutions in general. This one has me baffled.
