Anybody know any Ron Paul supporters? Has he stated his reasoning, yet?
Ron Paul doesn’t like the US meddling in foreign political affairs, so this seems like a consistent vote for him.
About 85% of the current posters on FR (that's why we should all hate Bush)
He can’t use the libertarian argument that we shouldn’t get involved in other country’s affairs, as a simple House vote has no standing on anything.
I'm sure it is the same exact reasoning he has had and has publicly stated since returning to Congress on every vote like this since January 1997?
Paul doesn't vote for any meaningless, worthless grandstanding House resolutions that deal with foreign nations. Doesn't matter what country it involves or if the resolution is praising or condemning, he votes against them all.
“Anybody know any Ron Paul supporters? Has he stated his reasoning, yet?”
Perhaps he just doesn’t believe that EVERYTHING is the business of the Legislative Branch of the U.S. Federal Government. He has the crazy idea that the Federal Government is limited. I expect he’ll be asked soon.
...Paul voted his convictions, It’s worthless grandstanding and a waste of time and money by the House anyway. Bravo, Ron Paul, guess you won’t get overtime pay for this...
...Here I go, incoming!!!
Seriously though...who really gives a damn whether a chamber in Congress agrees on a few sentences that accomplish nothing. Unless I misread the entire Constitution, the role of Congress isn't to shake their finger at people they disagree with. Perhaps if the entire Congress were more focused on what their "REAL" role in the U.S. Government is supposed to be, we'd be better off as a nation.
Ron Paul walks his talk, well not always but on foreign affairs he is fairly consistent.
