That's only half true. He stated he would vote *against* the bill, but he included the rider to try to get the Congress to at least show that they were indeed subverting the Constitution in their zealousness to start a war. It worked. Congress rejected the rider asking for a Constitutional declaration, thereby ADMITTING the bill that gave Bush dictatorial war powers was NOT a Constitutional declaration of war.
It's all kinda of moot now isn't it. It has been proven that Ron Paul joined arms with leftist liberal democrats in February to try to derail the War on Terrorism and on April 10th(the day after Baghdad falls), Con.Paul jumps over the fence and takes a position saying it is a good thing that saddam is gone.
I for one will not be surprised when Con. Paul jumps the fence again and gives a big smooch to Hillary democrat House Rep. Pete DeFazio, if something goes majorly wrong in Iraq.
With a "friend" like Ron Paul who needs an enemy.

It IS a good thing that Saddam is gone. It would also be a good thing if Castro, Putin, Jemin, Assad, Kadafy, Kim, and lots of others were gone too. That doesn't mean it would be right for us to go to war againt all of them, especially to violate the Constitution to do so.
Paul did not jump the fence at all. He stood on the Constitution. Anyone else who stands on the Constitution, be it purposely or accidentally (like some liberals do occasionally), will be on the same side of the fence.

Total distortion, Dane, and you know it!
