The most troubling of all Paul's votes was in regards to the Israel-Hezbollah war last summer.

He was the only Republican to vote against morally supporting Israel and condemning Hezbollah. 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.

Paul is not even qualified to sit in Congress, never mind the Presidency.

And why should our government declare solidarity (whatever that means) with Israel?

Good point. Even when it wouldn’t cost a penny, Run Paul resorts to the sophomoric thinking of moral equivalence, like some Left Wing loon.

“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.

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 candidate’s election for President or if a majority of respondents in such polls support the candidate’s participation in such debates. Sponsor: Rep Jackson, Jesse L., Jr. [IL-2] (introduced 11/6/2001) Cosponsors (2)

See some of Paul’s CO sponsored legislation here:

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 didn’t even bother to vote.

It was voted down 403 to 3.

FINAL VOTE RESULTS FOR ROLL CALL 608

H RES 571 RECORDED VOTE 18-Nov-2005 11:33 PM QUESTION: On Agreeing to the Resolution BILL TITLE: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately
