To Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq

Yes 296

No 133

Total of 133 votes in opposition to the action in Iraq with only 6 Republicans joining the majority of the Democrats.

It seems Dr. Paul's position on these issues is more in line with the Democrat party rather than the Republican party yet he is running as a Republican. Could it be the opposition of the social aspects by the Republican party is a greater portion of his view?

Wayne, I had a nicely formatted response typed out but I lost it. I'll just touch on key points.

Shall we continue harping that both dominant parties get along, electing only them all the while, only to dismiss unconventional candidates when they come along because they differ from those about which one side or the other is complaining? Transitioning to this, as you point out, will not be easy but then, that's no reason to dismiss either.

Are we going to get a meaningful amount more out of what we did in Afghanistan than had we either done nothing or much, much less?

Was the goal in Afghanistan the right goal? In due time, I may reflect more positively on our "investment" there. I'm not getting my hopes up though.
