"What is the point of such grand-standing?"

A quick clarification, if I may:

When people like Bill Clinton and Jesse Jackson contort and revise their "principles" if doing so affords them opportunities to keep themselves in the public eye, it's grandstanding.

When Ron Paul, who has been an aggressive champion of the Constitution, personal liberty, and the Rule of Law acts (as he has thousands of times over the years) on his beliefs, it's being principled.

Okay, I'm game. Go for it.

But do you honestly believe it will pass the Senate, and George W. Bush will sign it?

Say it again!

Thank you. Where do these people get off criticizing the only decent and principled Congressman in DC? You always know where Congressman Paul will stand on an issue, and it will ALWAYS be on the side of freedom. There isn't one other Congressman you can say that about.
