"Walter Williams is a comedian....a intellegent comedian..."I beg to disagree.Walter Williams can be funny but his brilliance should not be confused with a comedian. Walter uses his keen wit to point out the flaws and absurd positions often expoused by the (sometimes liberal) nutcases. The primary purpose of his humor is to make people think. The laughter comes as Walter uses humor to reinforce his points, and I don't recall ever laughing once he had presented his arguement.
By comparison, Eddie Murphy is a funny comedian, Bill Cosby is a comedian, Whoopie Goldberg is a ..commie..well, you get my point.

"Why would he vote to recommit? " So the bill would not be voted on right away.
So it could be debated again, like he says- now- that he wanted.

Because I completely disagree with the Libertarian stance on foreign policy.
To: Hal.009
He has a very good sense of humor and makes me laugh all the time....especially when he talks about his wife....I think he has a good poker face and would be a great comedian!

There wasn't going to be any more debate. It was basically a vote for or against that amendment. If there was going to be more debate it would have been on the merits of the amendment and not the act itself.
To: oursacredhonor
If the bill had been recommitted it would have been considered and debated again, under rules that would be determined later.
There would have been more consideration of the bill if it had been recommitted- period. It seems bizarre to deny this.
Now I doubt whether that extra consideration would have made any difference in the outcome, but voting against it was not consistent with Ron's statements that he wanted more consideration by congress.

This ought to be good.
To: mrsmith
If Ron or any member of Congress desires any influence or even Committee assignments then he votes with the party on procedural issues like the motion to recommit. You can vote your conscious on the bill itself or on amendments to it but when it comes to moving a bill to a vote you need to work with your Party.
To: Fish out of Water; mrsmith
Conscious = conscience

"when it comes to moving a bill to a vote you need to work with your Party. " Absolutely, that's politics, one has to make choices. It's hypocritical to later complain because the bill was moved to a vote though.
If he wanted to argue that the bill shouldn't have been voted on- then he would have had to give up whatever advantage he got by voting to vote on it. Obviously he didn't think that wise.
And I'm not singling Ron Paul out for this- all politicians do it.

People that think and talk like Dashhole are what is wrong with our political system.

I would vote for Ron Paul and Walter Williams in a heartbeat.
Walter Williams is what is right in this country.
To: RonPaulLives
Aren't you obnoxious?
Of course, the FACT that your--and Paul's--allegations about the Homeland Security provisions as well as the Patriot Act have been thoroughly debunked won't give you a single moment's discomfort.
That's because you and people like you don't even hear anything you don't want to hear.
It simply goes into the ether without even registering between your ears.

Because people who actually pay attention to economics don't have the time or inclination to smoke dope.

Somehow....I wonder if you would feel the same if the party didn't vote *your way.*
To: Dustbunny; stainlessbanner; 4ConservativeJustices
Careful now. Walter Williams believes in the right of the states to secede. Not a very popular opinion around these parts.
Walter Williams hosting Rush Limbaugh show today bump!! Rarely listen to Rush, but if Williams is going to be hosting I'll give it an ear
