He could have shown up and been the lone 1 vote against it.



Well, actually he'd be standing with over 100 other people who actually bothered to come in and vote no. But whatever. Apparently shaking hands in Iowa is more important to him.

I edited my post once I checked the vote count. Usually he is the lone vote against civil liberty attacks. Watch the vid I posted.

Well, apparently he is a voice speaking out against abridgement of civil liberties, except if there's a shindig in Iowa he could be at instead. Then he'll leave civil liberties in the lurch to go shake some hands.


Ron Paul, the great defender of civil liberties as long as it doesn't cost him anything to do so!

What you guys need to learn is that Politicians are always more interested in their own grandeur then what is good for the nation.. You need to drop this messiah complex and just accept that your politicians are mere humans.

Ron Paul to me just seems contrived, he's an outsider that's been incumbent longer then I have been alive.

I am not a Ron Paul supporter but I don't find this to be a problem. If he feels like he can get the most bang for his buck by campaigning then go for it.

Some times you weigh your options and decide where you can do the most good.


Just looked up his record. He has a lot of Did not Votes in the last 3 months. Looks like he has decided he can do more good by campaigning.

Why is he campaigning? He's never going to be president, so why bother right? I know the answer to this, but the brain dead morons don't want to hear it.

America has cancer and Ron Paul is selling snake oil.

First, lets start with what is your claim of America's cancer. And please spell that out so that we have clarity.

Here is his stance on NDAA. Don't question his votes on civil liberties without research.

Meaningless. If he can't put up when it counts, he should sit down and shut up.

Mainly the inability of the American public to shape the fate of their own nation, which seems to be at the mercy of a newly emerged ruling class.

Okay.. But considering that Dr Paul has very firmly established himself as a non establishment type (through a very proven track record), how do your two sentiments square with each other?
