I don't think the terrorists would be smiling when; cutting taxes causes and deregulating industry causes our economy to triple in size; gun laws are repealed thus allowing for a truly armed populace capable of defending itself from the enemy within, etc.

Ron Paul cast a vote regarding Iraq because of his firm commitment to not support Islamic terrorists. Just because his vote was tallied with the Dems does not mean his rationale was the same.

His record in Congress on issues of life, gun rights, taxes, traditional marriage, and federalism has been consistent and flawless. Amazing how so many people here are willing to throw all those things right out the window so quickly.

It had the same effect on our troops and military capability...and I couldn't care less about his "nuanced" (a la Kerry) reason for voting that way.

The damage has been done and he was an accomplice.

How disgusting!

He could have abstained, and drafted a resolution that stated his point rather than the cut-and-run resolution. So, in fact he did cut-n-run...you can't spin that any other way. He's a loser, and we are going to offer him retirement during the next election cycle.

Ron Paul could have voted "present". That he didn't is telling.

Duncan Hunter is solid on a lot of those issues as well. And supports the Iraq War. Makes the choice between him and Paul pretty easy.
