Ron Paul: I’d VETO The Indefinite Detention Bill

Good for him, but this isn’t really news considering that he introduced legislation to strike that part of the NDAA: http://disinfo.com/2012/01/ron-paul-introduces-legislation-to-strike-ndaa%E2%80%99s-unconstitutional-section-1021/

  I’m all for seeing Paul’s legislation to remove the indefinite detention language pass. It’s a shame Paul didn’t have the honesty to acknowledge that the language was a Republican poison pill, inserted into the annual defense budget in the hopes that Obama would veto it in an election year.
  
  The President doesn’t have and has never had line item veto power. The President who vetoed the annual Defense Authorization would have had to fight off accusations of “hating the troops and hating America” for the next year.

    Actually it was written by both parties, Levin D- MIchigan, and POW with apparent vengeance streak, McCain -R Arizona.
    
    I disagree with your reasoning. Obama could have come through as though he cared one iota about upholding the Constitution. Remember he is a “professor of Constitutional law” You just can’t prove it is all, more like an adjunct, all of whose records are completely sealed, and no one who remembers Barry S in any classes but I digress.
    
    Ron Paul again is the only candidate opposed to this Draconian bill.

    He may not have a line item veto, but he can kill anyone he wants.

  When they’re sitting in a FEMA camp they’ll know. Idiots, all of them.

I swear, Ron is the ONLY one making any sense! I really hope he becomes president.

I only hope I am as sharp as this guy when I’m his age. He is our crazy uncle Ron but the man is on point and makes perfect sense. What we should be all up in arms about is the voting, about the way the votes are counted. Ohio was a sham, the rest of the states will be as well. And given that Paul did not get his due in Ohio it has affected his results in other states.
I will write in his name with a sharpie and I believe they will toss out my vote. But I can not vote for anyone else. God bless Dr. Paul and I”m not religious.

Can’t beat a bit of Ron Paulery in the evenings.

He’s not perfect but Ron Paul is such an improvement over anything else out there. When are the liberals going to get off their high horse and endorse a real anti war candidate?
