Obdicut, I did not write that Paul votes no on every bill ever put to a vote. I was clearly making a point that he votes no more often than not, and far more often than any other representative. Here’s the original quote, since you are obviously blinded by some sort of rage

Paul votes no on pretty much every bill the House votes on.

re: #67 Obdicut

Voted YES on banning gay adoptions in DC. (Jul 1999)

Bwa hah hah hah hah ha ha ha hah hah ha !!!111eleven

Go read that bill and show where it’s a bill written to “ban gay addoptions in DC.”

It’s a bill to provide funding to DC for about a billion different purposes, none of which is to explicitly “ban gay adoptions.” Searching the document, the only time you find anything related to homosexuality reads:

SEC. 131. None of the funds made available in this Act may
be used to implement or enforce the Health Care Benefits Expansion
Act of 1992 (D.C. Law 9–114; D.C. Code, sec. 36–1401 et seq.)
or to otherwise implement or enforce any system of registration
of unmarried, cohabiting couples (whether homosexual, heterosexual,
or lesbian), including but not limited to registration for
the purpose of extending employment, health, or governmental
benefits to such couples on the same basis that such benefits are
extended to legally married couples.

And adoption:

For a Federal payment to the District of Columbia to create incentives to promote the adoption of children in the District of Columbia foster care system, $5,000,000: Provided, That such funds shall remain available until September 30, 2001 and shall be used
in accordance with a program established by the Mayor and the Council of the District of Columbia and approved by the Committees
on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate:
Provided further, That funds provided under this heading may
be used to cover the costs to the District of Columbia of providing
tax credits to offset the costs incurred by individuals in adopting
children in the District of Columbia foster care system and in
providing for the health care needs of such children, in accordance
with legislation enacted by the District of Columbia government.

You are clearly the idiot. Have fun with that.
