Some folks are trying to use these votes against him but a logical look at things shows that Ron Paul is doing right when he backs bills like these. Obviously I can't speak for him and I don't wish to wrongly state his views as is done here. The above statements by me are simply a common sense way of looking at the various bills listed. But no, the statists and other nefarious elements would rather have our Congress spend days arguing about a conflict that happened a hundred years ago on the other side of the globe.
