Ron Paul Is An Island
A lonely, crazy island.
According to CNN, the House voted 413-1 for a resolution "calling on China to end its crackdown on Tibet and release Tibetans imprisoned for 'nonviolent' demonstrations."
Ron Paul (R-TX) cast the lone "nay" vote.
Principle.
I've got no problem with principled nay votes on resolutions, especially if the principle is that Congressional energies spent on symbolic resolutions are a waste of time and taxpayer money. But I have an inkling this vote has more to do with Paul's gonzo isolationism than a disdain for legislative thumb-twiddling.
After all, in the last 10 days, he's voted to congratulate the Army Reserve on its centennial; to support the goals and ideals of Borderline Personality Awareness Month; to support the observance of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and to support the goals, ideals, and history of National Women’s History Month.
Yes, Congress would like you to know that it supports Women's History Month's history.
