Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) stood his ground and joined the twenty-or-so other Republicans that have decided to vote with the House Democrats in favor of a non-binding Iraq resolution that condemns President Bush's troop surge.
Speaking of Bush, Congressman Paul was very straight-forward in his displeasure for Bush's "demented philosophy of conquest." Here is a portion of his floor speech:
RON PAUL: "In recent decades, our policies have been driven by neoconservative empire radicalism; profiteering in the military industrial complex; misplaced do-good internationalism; mercantilistic notions regarding the need to control natural resources; and blind loyalty to various governments in the Middle East."
You can add Ron Paul's name to the small list of the few level-headed Republicans left in Congress.

Notice how the neocon architects of the Iraq debacle have cut and run themselves. If you so much as question the Iraq War to the rank-and-file hawks in the GOP they will accuse you of being a pinko commie Muslim America-hater.
I SALUTE Ron Paul for having the courage to stand up and point out obvious blowback and criticize our own foreign policy blunders. You can be a conservative and against endless war. The warhawks need to catch up with reality.
Simple, party loyalists, controlled by Lobbyists and corporations, or Religious organizations
Looking back at History, Ron Paul is what you would call a Classical Liberal (or a Modern Constitutional Conservative/Libertarian,) in the sense that Liberal meant Freedom, and that meant following the Constitution, and supporting a non-interventionist policy. Somewhere in the Mid-20th century the terms Liberal and Conservative really flipped meanings in the United States.
no, obama's just gonna do so bad that an even worse republican than bush will basically get a free ticket in. then an even worse democrat, then an even worse republican, etc., etc., etc.
