#1 Rep. Davidson is mine — I voted for him twice. Army Ranger, head of a mid-sized family company, then got into politics, first locally then Congress. I just wrote to him about this, asking him to explain his thinking.

#2 Not sure about the other two, but if Massie voted a certain way, then he had the US Constitution in mind. AIPAC is already attacking him. Capitol Hill needs a few hundred more Thomas Massies.

#3 Massie automatically votes against all foreign aid. It's a principle he's expounded forever. It's also an illustration that "one size fits all" will get you sideways with pretty much everyone at some point.

His point, that the US is broke and doesn't have the aid money to give, isn't incorrect.

#4 Have been reading about Thomas "Woodrow" Wilson recently...a scumbag of the absolute highest order...reminded me of Wisconsin Senator La Follette and his passionate speech on the Senate floor against Wilson's perversion on going to war in April 1917. La Follette was one of only six Senators to vote against going to war.

Some men & women have principles. Those principles might not pay well, but they have principles.

#5 The Senate would refuse to ratify the Versailles Treaty. Congress would simply repeal the declaration of war.

#6 Kind of late for that, what?

No League of Nations for the US. If only today we could....
