307. Can you point out anything that is incorrect in that statement?? Have you checked Paul's voting

record on those issues? You have already posted false info on this thread and been corrected. You seem to want to people to deny facts here. That is not going to happen. Franken praised Paul and when Paul asked him to sponsor him in the Senate, he accepted, gladly.

Democrats, REAL Democrats in Congress and the Senate have worked, with Paul's cooperation to try to get Progressive Democratic policies on the table for discussion. Paul has been praised by Dennis Kucinich, Al Franken, Ron Wyden, Glenn Greenwald, Alan Grayson, among other Progressive Democrats for his opposition to Bush's foreign policies.

That is a FACT. I think you should go back to the table and do some research before making any more statements here, which will only have to be corrected. Or don't, it's up to you. But so far, what you posted in this thread has required constant corrections.
