Your link is referencing quotes by Candidates, in particular Dr. Paul talking about Rick Perry. The relationship between calling someone dishonest and that and the way your post is worded is typical of the latest "out of context" attacks by the MSM. But I understand why the liberal left is concerned about Dr. Paul's bid for the Presidency, he's a genuine threat of taking away their government tit.
Go down and look at Dr. Paul's vote - http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=h2011-375 ;-) Dr. Paul is already "on record" against the NDAA bill - he has NEVER voted YES and he continually speaks out against it - my god some of you people are completely lost!
It's hard for most people to understand someone who has a conscious and the backbone to consistently vote their true beliefs. They are programmed into the normal "flipflop" and "doublespeak" of today's politician.
Dec. 14, 2011 HR 1540 National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 Conference Report Adopted - House (283 - 136) Did Not Vote http://www.votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/296/
Yes. He was busy on the campaign trail attempting to win the GOP's nomination. He can do far more as President than he ever could as a Congressman. His vote would have been purely symbolic anyway. Had the vote been close, I guarantee he would have been there.
I will say it again - he is already on record against it and he did not vote yes. As his campaign has mentioned, he was in Iowa day before final debate for Presidential campaign. Also on the record, he votes against Patriot Act and extensions and funding for DHS - I love his voting record! If he voted yes you have something to talk about - non issue at this point. Go get something of real substance please, like I do - According to the GAO audit, $16.1 trillion in secret loans were made by the Federal Reserve between December 1, 2007 and July 21, 2010. The following list of firms and the amount of money that they received was taken directly frompage 131 of the GAO audit reportâ¦. Citigroup â $2.513 trillion Morgan Stanley â $2.041 trillion Merrill Lynch â $1.949 trillion Bank of America â $1.344 trillion Barclays PLC â $868 billion Bear Sterns â $853 billion Goldman Sachs â $814 billion Royal Bank of Scotland â $541 billion JP Morgan Chase â $391 billion Deutsche Bank â $354 billion UBS â $287 billion Credit Suisse â $262 billion Lehman Brothers â $183 billion Bank of Scotland â $181 billion BNP Paribas â $175 billion Wells Fargo â $159 billion Dexia â $159 billion Wachovia â $142 billion Dresdner Bank â $135 billion Societe Generale â $124 billion âAll Other Borrowersâ â $2.639 trillion
LAME. The fact remains that Paul's job is to represent his district and he was a no-vote on a bill he claims assures "our descent into totalitarianism."
Then you need to have your head examined. Really. IRS agents with AK-47s popping out of cakes? Totatarian bills tinted pink and blue and brown and blighted with holograms, diffraction gratings, metal and plastic threads, and chemical alarms? A financial Manhattan Project where the government wants to drop the bomb on us?
