Mr. CUNNINGHAM. I yield to the
gentleman from Texas.
1999 Ron Paul 93:2
Mr. PAUL. Mr. Chairman, I thank
the gentleman for yielding to me.
The gentleman has called attention
to my voting record. I would say that if
I could show the gentleman that I
voted 100 percent for the Constitution,
would the gentleman still complain
about my voting record being 90 percent,
99 percent in opposition? Being
for liberty is not a negative position.
Note:
Here, Ron Paul responds to a comment by The Honorable Randy “Duke” Cunningham, who said,
This is a controversial issue. This is
the first time this has been debated.
My colleague, the gentleman from
Texas (Mr. PAUL) has a full right to believe
like he does. The independent
view, however, is not the view, and the
gentleman votes 99 percent against everything
on the House floor. I expected
no less. I would almost let him speak
more because I think he makes our
case.
