In lugnet.off-topic.debate, Ed "Boxer" Jones writes:
Why am I not surprised:

"Under White House prodding, a House panel on Thursday approved legislation
to further expand the government's ability to cut money flows to terrorist
networks. A parallel bill is part of Bush's sweeping anti-terrorism package
in the Senate.

The 62-1 vote by the House Financial Services Committee sent the measure to
the full House. The lone dissenting vote came from Rep. Ron Paul (news - bio
- voting record), R-Texas, a staunch libertarian."

There is a big difference between supporting terrorists or their ideolog - i.e.,
"coming through for them" and dissenting against a bill that you feel is not
appropriate or effective for X reasons.  Ed, do you know why he voted against
that bill?  Why do some homework before slinging mud?
