Ah that now gives Paul about 2,000 votes nationwide. His position is simply not going to draw any support in the primaries which will actually mean something. He is the Dennis K of the Pubs as is Tancredo. Not that both of some of their stances are bad, but the totality of their campaign is simply unelectable.

If he voted against these bills, the reason most certainly would have to do with preventing the Federal leviathan from encroaching on rights of states. Ron Paul is a rock on constitutional issues. If all this abortion muddle was created by the courts wandering into areas where they have no business to be in, you cannot fix it by passing unconstitutional bills permitting the Federal govt. to do the same thing.

Because it isn't the FedGov's job. If it isn't in the Constitution, then they have no legal authority. Period.

If you want the FedGov to regulate abortion, pass an Amendment.

Voted NO on forbidding human cloning for reproduction & medical research.

Let’s see:

1. He supports Dennis Kucinich’s desire for a fresh, Truther-friendly investigation into the “cover up” of 9/11.

2. He goes on Truther radio shows.

3. He suggests, Trutherifically, that the US will phony up a fake attack by Iran on our troops (probably killing Americans, as we may have done on 9/11) in order to have a pretext to bomb the mullahs. So, you know, if Iran actually does fire on American warships, his supporters will know it’s actually all a contrivance by the US government. (As was Iran’s taking of British hostages, presumably. As was the Khobar Towers bombing, presumably.)

He’s a Truther

You have to read Ron Pauls bills most often his voting no has more to do with the fact something isn’t constitutional, it could better be handled by the market, or it’s loaded with pork.

The fact that Ron Paul voted against a bill on its face tells us nothing. To post his bills and then try to make it look like he voted for or against something is misleading, if you read project freedom website you would better understand the reasoning behind this man that so many people love.

Ron Paul is going to surprise a lot of people because there are some that think he is just a libertarian and libertarians are a few crazies.

Ron Paul has earned much respect across the political lines and true Conservaties, Liberatrians, Democrats and Reformed Neo cons are behind the man and respect him.

Respect isn’t something you can attach to many in Wash. DC

As would any limited government, states rights conservative. Simply the issue is not a decision nor a problem for the federal government

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

He has voted against many pro-life bills

Because all the bills you cite wouldn't have done squat except increased the power of the feds and nibble at the edges of abortion anyway. Plus the pro-death lobby would've filed lawsuit after lawsuit against them.

Paul is 100% pro-life. The man delivers babies, for crying out loud.
