Crazy Uncle Ron Paul continues demonstrating why his star is on the rise in the Republican Party — because he doesn’t care about the fallout. He’ll go right to the most extreme position every time, and leave the door open for the rest of the GOP to follow: Rep. Paul Casts Sole ‘No’ Vote on Oil Spill Subpoena Power.

When the House agreed to give subpoena powers to President Barack Obama’s newly formed oil-spill commission, 420 members voted for the plan and only one voted against it: Texas Republican Ron Paul.

A spokeswoman for Paul declined to elaborate on the congressman’s vote.
