And why should our government declare solidarity (whatever that means) with Israel?
“Paul is not even qualified to sit in Congress, never mind the Presidency.”
How did this wackjob get elected? The peyote must be cheap down there.
“The vote was not about foreign aid, tax money or sending weapons. It was about declaring solidarity with Israel. Paul went so far to equate Israel with the terrorists as well.”
Doing otherwise might dry up his lush campaign contribution stream from Aryan Nations, Stormfront, etc?
One of the stranger pieces of legislation that Paul Co sponsored would have kept him out of the debates!!
. H.CON.RES.263 : Expressing the sense of Congress that any Presidential candidate should be permitted to participate in debates among candidates if at least 5 percent of respondents in national public opinion polls of all eligible voters support the candidates election for President or if a majority of respondents in such polls support the candidates participation in such debates. Sponsor: Rep Jackson, Jesse L., Jr. [IL-2] (introduced 11/6/2001) Cosponsors (2)

Take note of the ultra liberal socialists in congress he signed on with.
Some time back Duncan Hunter got tired of all the snipping about the war and wrote a resolution so those that wanted to pull the troops out could have their say and get their vote.
Ron Paul didnt even bother to vote.
It was voted down 403 to 3.
