I agree the Federal Government should not have a role in healthcare.Voting for and supporting HR2510 was the ONLY way to try and defeat HR810.THE FACT IS IF HR2510 had not passed we would have lost HR810 by more than a veto proof margin.Bottom line,the Ron Paul way would have resulted in BOTH bills becoming law and MORE increased spending(and Killing) The Pence way will lead to a Presidential veto and less spending(and less Killing).We should compromise only when we have to.Paul,however,is no conservative hero.His isolationist appeasement puts me and my future children in danger.This is 2005 not 1910.

I don't get your argument. Are you saying that Pence voted for a bill which he "really" opposes? If so, this doesn't sound very honest....or are you saying something else? Paul is not an isolationist. He is an ardent proponent of free trade. True, he opposed the Iraq war which he predicted accurately would spread us thin and lead to a continuing quagmire in a Bosnia write large,.

That's writ large.
