Cynthia McKinney (D-GA), the late US Sen. Paul Wellstone (D-MN), US Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), Ralph Nader, and others who were known for their opposition to the US Invasion of Iraq.<BR/><BR/>Why didn’t Mr. Paul stand with any of them? Why didn’t he appear at antiwar demonstrations or stand with other non-politicians who were against the Invasion?</I><BR/><BR/>Tough Question? <BR/><B>NOT!</B><BR/><BR/>Here are links to statements opposing war with Iraq (and other unconstitutional wars) going back as far as 1998, posted on the US House of Representatives, house.gov site.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst98/tst020298.htm" REL="nofollow"><B>Bombing Iraq lacks support, common sense and constitutional base</B></A><BR/><BR/>Here's a good one from '98: <BR/><A HREF="http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst98/tst021698.htm" REL="nofollow"><B>US must not trample Constitution to attack Iraq</B></A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst98/tst031698.htm" REL="nofollow"><B>US should stop meddling in foreign wars</B></A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst98/tst122198.htm" REL="nofollow"><B>Unconstitutional wars gravest of crimes</B></A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2002/tst030402.htm" REL="nofollow"><B>Before We Bomb Baghdad.....</B></A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2002/tst082602.htm" REL="nofollow"><B>War in Iraq, War on the Rule of Law?</B></A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2002/tst090902.htm" REL="nofollow"><B>The Case against War in Iraq</B></A><BR/><BR/>Where were McKinney, Wellstone, Kucinich and Nader <B>back in 1998?</B><BR/><BR/><I>"Why didn’t Mr. Paul stand with any of them?"</I><BR/>Because he was standing well AHEAD of them, That's why!<BR/><BR/>I suppose looking on the US House of Representatives own website to find where Dr. Paul stood would never have occurred to Searcy, (<I>previously a press spokesperson for US Rep.
