Is there a republican from texas (ron paul) dissing the bush admin?

[merwin]

Wow.

Edit: (CSPAN right now)

[Melodybe]

1. Yeah Ron Paul rules!

[merwin]

3. A true Republican... able to speak his own mind.

Seems like less and less Republicans are blindly following anymore.

[Dave Sund]

5. Sorry

But no one who votes against the relief package "rules" in my book.

[merwin]

12. Oh yeah, it's really great to vote for a relief package that half of

congress has not even looked at. I'm 100% sure that EVERY member of congress would vote for an HONEST relief package, rather than one that probably gives 1/4 of the money to Haliburton.

[joemurphy]

2. He's a maverick Republican.

I think he also just voted against the Katrina relief bill. Go figure.

[merwin]

4. I'm pretty sure that the Katrina relief bill had a lot of 'extras' in it.

Bonus payouts to Haliburton, etc.

Seems fishy that they wouldn't let any dems read it first.

[Booster]

8. How can that even be legal? Did they let the Republicans read

it first? I'm at the point that I think we should notify the police about Bushco and have them all arrested. This can not be legal.

[LandOLincoln]

9. I'm sure it did, just like the notorious 87 billion that

Kerry voted for before he voted against it.


Wow--did RP really just say "neo-Jacobins??"

Why is he still a Republican?

[merwin]

6. God damn! He just pointed out how WE gave Saddam the WMD's in the 90s

[McCamy Taylor]

7. Ron Paul is sort of a libertarian

[Yupster]

16. He ran for President on the Libertarian ticket

To him Democratic and Republican politicians are all the same -- unconstitutional spenders of his money.

[stillcool]

10. uh-oh....

I think he's speaking for an hour, and he's going way off the script.
Why do i get scared when I hear someone tell the truth?

[blondeatlast]

11. He's long been a vocal opponent of the Iraq aggression.

He's moire of a true fiscal, non-interventionist Republican--closer to a small L libertarian than a Neocon--note how often he slagged the Neos.

[bmcatt]

13. Not a constituent of his

but I sent him an email from his website saying "Thank you".

I don't care if he's a Democrat or a Republican, a Liberal or a Conservative, a Christian or a Satanist. He's saying the things that need to be said and I believe we *must* support those who will truly speak truth to the people and truth to power.

Don't have time to check right now, but does anyone know if he's become a co-sponsor/signatory to the Resolution of Inquiry?

[blondeatlast]

14. "When is enough killing enough?" Awesome. nt

[blondeatlast]

15. "Stop building ANY bases in Iraq." Kickin' ass and takin' names. nt

[paineinthearse]

17. No surprise to anyone familiar with Ron Paul

He is more of a libertarian than a rethug. Go to his house website and read trancripts of his floor speeches.

[ngGale]

18. Ron Paul is good....

two of his favorite subjects is the ID card and "Teen Screen."
