Why in hell does Ron Paul list himself as a Republican?

This the kind of vote that will do him in.

The fool votes against a ban on lawsuits against gunmakers!! A Texan, for heaven's sake!

Paul is worthless!

Har, har, har! Mr. Golden Boy Wannabe President in 2004 Gephardt took a walk to the little boy's room for this vote! Of course - he doesn't want to have to campaign in *pro-gun* rural Missouri and elsewhere in the Midwest with a "no" vote on his record. A "yes" vote would set every other Dem Party leader at his throat, though. What a conundrum...

Look at Dick's procedural votes there(anti-right of course). He can run, but he can't hide.

I noticed that. Castle I expected it from. He's like Schumer on this issue. Shays is almost as bad. I'm surprised at Ron Paul here. For all his quirks(some I agree with ie the UN, other I don't like Iraq), this was the one issue that he could always be counted on.

Until now.

My guess is that Mr. Paul voted against the bill because he believes that the Congress doesn't have the Constitutional power to be passing legislation concerning or regulating private arms ownership or commerce in any way.

Perhaps he found the findings in the bill objectionable?
