I CAN EXPECT A RON PAUL SUPPORTER TO LIE ABOUT HIS WOT RECORD, especially when it comes to the fact he voted to leave Saddam in power to rape and murder the innocent. Here are the the republicans that voted AGAINST the Iraq War Resolution:

The following Republican members of the House of Representatives "joined 126 Democrats in voting against the resolution."

Rep. John Duncan (R-Tenn.)
Rep. John Hostettler (R-Ind.)
Rep. Amo Houghton (R-N.Y.)
Rep. Jim Leach (R-Iowa)
Rep. Constance A. Morella (R-Md.)
Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas)

What say you now, spreader of falsehoods?

Well, Spreader of Falsehoods (that would be you, jrooney), all that you have proved by your own post is that Ron Paul voted against the "Authorization for Military Force Resolution" -- NOT an Iraq WAR Resolution.

I expect you will now apologize to Polycarp, admit that he was right and you were wrong, and beg his forgiveness. That is, if you're even remotely honorable.

Because, as Polycarp correctly stated, Ron Paul in fact called for a CONSTITUTIONAL Congressional Declaration of War with Iraq.

The language of the declaration was very clear: "A state of war is declared to exist between the United States and the government of Iraq."

As IronTank has previously pointed out, by shunting aside Ron Paul's call for a Congressional Declaration of War, Congress abdicated its Constitutional Responsibilities and left George W. Bush holding the bag if and when things went wrong. And Ron Paul has more fiercely criticized the Congress for its abdication of its Constitutional Warmaking Responsibility, than he has ever criticized George Bush in the execution of the "Authorized Military Force".

Ron Paul was Right... and Ron Paul is Right.
