the House voted 411-to-2 to condemn ... Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. ... Ron Paul says he believes in the U.S. Constitution and smaller government. Good for him. But those views are cancelled out by his unwillingness to confront the evil of Islamofascism or to even condemn a Holocaust denier. This DISQUALIFIES him to be president of the United States.

That vote means nothing. It does nothing. It results in nothing. So ... why shouldn't the President go along with that with that near-unanimous do-nothing statement by the representatives of the people of this country? If Congress won't declare war when appropriate, then why are they not "disqualified" from their position in Congress? If Congress won't similarly vote to take real action, then why should the President be wasting money maintaining a force where The People don't want it? Awright, as Chief Executive maybe he can send Ahmanutjob a letter of condemnation; that's what Congress voted for - not war.

Looks to me more like RP is simply not playing the stupid (and expensive) games. Ask him if he would execute a war if Congress declared one - THAT is a relevant question.
