Shameful Republicans and that Paul - in-depends isn't he?against our heroes in action.

[American Quilter]

Ron Paul is a libertarian, and his vote came from principle, not cowardice. Before you flame me, note that I detest his vote on this issue. But libertarians are against all U.S. military action outside our own borders. Ron Paul is wrong, dangerously wrong in this case, but he's not a coward.

Understand I'm not defending his vote or his position on the war. But he's always been clear about his opposition to use of military forces outside the U.S., and he's always been consistent. FWIW.

That said, I've just contacted four of my own state's seven congresscritters (the other three don't have e-mail and I'll call them when I get home). I commended and promised campaign contributions to the conservatives, who voted against the resolution. I told the liberals, who of course voted in favor, that I'm deeply disappointed and will be contributing to anyone who runs against them in the next campaign.
