Republicans couldn't break from the Neo-con party line.

But we knew that was going to happen. It was still surprising to see so many embrace him. He got further than anyone thought he would.

He raised a lot of money...that he can now use to hold onto his current seat, but the M$M was never gonna give him anything...and Republicans swallowed the National Security bit line-hook-and sinker again with McCain...

It's not surprising to me. He has allot of ideas that conservaives embrace. More so than McCain. His major downfall was running as a republican during military deployments and having a 180 degree viewpoint on that issue vs. most republicans.

Ron Paul voted against the national do not call registry.

That's all I have to say.

Because he believes that it is an unnecessary intrusion by the government into people's lives. He believes it gives the FCC and FTC too broad of powers to intervene into people's lives.

I am not saying I agree or disagree with that, but the man does have principles.

Their issues on the other side of the fence, too. After all, solicitation is a very broad term, and anything that falls into the grey area, the FCC can't control. Essentially, the law becomes useless if businesses take the proper approach. And scammers can still get a free ride from their dime-a-dozen charities that can still solicit money.

So, there is sound reason to reject the Do-not-call Act.

Ron Paul hasn't voted for a single bill that goes beyond the powers given to Congress in the cons ution (which means he voted against handing out certain medals and honors that Congress regularly hands out; you gotta have a real backbone to go against a human interest story).

Absolutely true. Dude needs to learn how to lie.
