On the senate amendment he was ABSENT but Open congress doesn’t show any absent, just how you vote or abstain. go to the clerk’s report at thomas.gov and it shows Ron voted NO on the main bill http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2011/roll149.xml again, there was another vote on the bill which was an amendment and he wasn’t there for that one. But he did vote no on the main bill and he never ‘abstained’.

Sad to say that his retirement will be the end of principled dissent in one branch of government.

Speaking of DEMOCRACY in action – how come no one notices that 75% of Americans want to leave Aftoiletstan and yet 98% of delegates to 2012 Presidential candiates are pro-war??

But it is hard to blame Dr. Paul for leaving – after fighting the fight for 40 years in a corrupt sea of statism, he probably wants to enjoy his grandchildren.
