Supporting human rights violations in Iran?
Congress passed another non-binding resolution condemning human rights violations in Iran. Specifically targeting those protesting labor rights in Iran. This bill passed 418-1. Wanna guess who voted alone against this bill? One clue, he’s done it before. Yup, that’s right. Ron Paul. One other person felt so unmoved by the plight of those poor souls in Iran he just voted “present”. That of course, would be Dennis Kucinich. I just have to wonder, if these guys can’t agree with ANYONE in Congress, what makes them think they can lead Congress effectively as President? Their logic defies me.
