Republican Candidate Ron Paul's Voting Record

Trash Dispatch: Republican candidate Ron Paul's Voting Record

To start, It would probably easier to post what Congressman Ron Paul has voted for, as what he has voted against, is just about everything.

To summarize, I would have to say that the Congressman is Pro-life, although that position might be better assessed as being a part of Rep. Ron Paul's "Anti-spending, Anti-subsidy, Anti-government," theology. Not that he is for the over-throw of our government, but that it appears as though his general stance on anything having to do with the government is that, "the government ain't yo momma" (my words not his). Which means agriculture, welfare, Special Interest and the Arts, and basically anything in the "Pork Barrel", will all take a hit.

He voted "no" on a bill that would keep horses from being shipped, transported, moved, delivered, received, possessed, purchased, sold, or donated to be slaughtered for human consumption. Which prompts me to state my disclaimer here as "Who Knows" why he voted against this bill, or against any bill for that matter, without an intense interrogation of the man only to find out that maybe the bill didn't do what it was represented to do. Nevertheless, and as an example of *appearances from a voting record, it "appears" as though, Rep. Ron Paul is Pro-business ...as long as the government doesn't have to support it.

As for "Appropriations".
I counted 177 Bills from 05/15/1997 - 03/23/2007.
Of those, Congressman Ron Paul had 6 "Yeahs" - 160 "Nos" - and 11 Bills where he did not vote. The 6 "Yeahs" include; 1) H AMDT 271 to HR 2160: An amendment, printed as amendment No. 3 in the Congressional Record of July 15, 1997, to prohibit the use of any funds appropriated in the bill to subsidize crop insurance for tobacco crops. (Tobacco Crops Amendment)

2) HR 2888: Making emergency supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year 2001 for additional disaster assistance, for anti-terrorism initiatives, and for assistance in the recovery from the tragedy that occurred on September 11, 2001, and for other purposes. (2001 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations bill)

3) H Amdt 241 to HR 2590: Amendment to prohibit funding to administer the Cuban Assets Control Regulations with respect to any travel or travel related transaction. (Amendment to Treasury

Appropriations Act, FY 2002)

4) H.AMDT.356 to HR 2587: An amendment to prohibit any funding for the joint adoption of a child between individuals who are not related by blood or marriage. (Adoption Restriction Amendment)

5) HR 5385: Making appropriations for the military quality of life functions of the Department of Defense, military construction, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007, and for other purposes. (Military Construction FY2007 Authorization bill)

and 6) H Amdt 343 to HR 3010: Amendment restores $100 million for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. (Restoring Funds For The CPB)


Bills on which Congressman Ron Paul did not vote include;
1) District of Columbia FY98 Appropriations bill
2) Foreign Operations FY2000 Appropriations bill
3) District of Columbia Appropriations Act, FY 2000
4) Military Construction FY2002 Appropriations bill
5) Fiscal 04 Military Construction Appropriation
6) Energy and Water Appropriations, FY 2004 bill
7) Appropriations bill 2005, Energy and Water Development
8) Defense Department FY2005 Appropriations bill
9) Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2006
10) Interior Department FY 2006 Appropriations Bill
11) Energy and Water Appropriations bill FY 2006

Conclusion? Congressman Ron Paul doesn't like too much of anything to do with, "appropriations". And said "No" to; H AMDT753 to HR 4193: Restoring $98 million in funding for the National Endowment for the Arts.

And in a general examination of Ron Paul's voting record on Bills concerning "Budget, Spending, and Taxes", it would "appear" as though, he has consistently voted "No" to anything that would increase spending and/or taxes. And voted "Yeah", on anything that would lower spending and/or taxes. Note however, that that "supposition", does not included a detailed examination of bills beyond their names. Which may be different, from their actual purpose.

Nevertheless, and just so you can make up your own mind about what Congressman Ron Paul's Voting record may or may not reflect, here is a list of bills dating from 02/13/1997 - 08/05/2007. This list was "gleaned" from "Project Vote Smart" and is used here (in text form) as a "quick" reference for comments. Detailed accounts with links to each bill, along with statements made by the Congressman at the time of these bills, can be found at Project Vote Smart [Link Below].
