Drudge: Ron Paul Races Back to D.C. to Vote Against Raising the Debt Ceiling

[UK4Paul]

I disagree. He's a neocon at heart. Gives way more coverage to the other candidates.

Maybe Drudge is just... a reporter.

He gives coverage to Ron. He has a site to run, too.

Wonder how the other candidates will vote....

There aren't any candidates running who can vote except for Ron who has ALWAYS voted against raising the debt ceiling.

But if they could, we all know they would vote YES to raise the debt ceiling. Santorum has done it at least 5 times while in office adding trillions to our national debt.

 

[Jack Bauer]

I am shocked the headline is not 'Paul flies First Class in D.C. detour to vote against debt increase'.

MSM fail.

 

[Ben Bernanke]

I think Drudge is on our side

Hell every Christmas he gives Infowars the red links.....

Remember in 2008 when McCain "suspended" his campaign to go back to DC and vote AYE on TARP. Contrast that with Ron Paul announcing today that he is going back to DC to vote NO on raising the debt limit another trillion dollars. That's called real leadership.

The vote is a no-brainer for Mr. Paul, now in his 12th term, who has made a career out of voting against spending bills and debt increases. It also will give him a chance to highlight another difference with some of his competitors, former Sen. Rick Santorum and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who supported debt increases during their time in Congress.

I read he doesn't return to SC until Thursday. Does this mean he is skipping the Personhood USA forum tomorrow night, after he already confirmed he was attending?

Ron Paul to Interrupt Campaign to Vote Against Debt-Ceiling Hike

Not shirking his responsibilities to campaign. Good on ya RP. I think the breaks are good for the campaign. The others are on such hectic schedules they look desperate.

 

[hueylong]

It's a very solid political hit. All his surrogates in SC can say: "Dr. Paul is not here today because he is attending to our nation's business, voting against increasing the debt ceiling."

 

[Brick-in-the-Wall]

HAHA! From the comments below.

voting no on the raising of the debt ceiling is just irresponsible. What's the alternative, default and decent into chaos and riots? This country would be finished if more people voted with Paul on this issue.

 

[Maximus]

In the debate tomorrow he can bring it up, "Senator Santorum, yesterday I was in Washington voting against raising the debt limit, and you voted to raise the debt limit 5 different times..."

In the debate tomorrow he can bring it up, "Senator Santorum, yesterday I was in Washington voting against raising the debt limit, and you voted to raise the debt limit 5 different times..."

BOOYAH!! unless there was no senate vote

BOOYAH!! unless there was no senate vote

Even if the Senate didn't vote, Paul saying this [what Maximus said] would hold true and effective regardless.
