Former Congressman and Libertarian icon Ron Paul warned last night that the GOP takeover of the Senate and increased stronghold on the House will only embolden interventionist foreign policy.
Dr Paul took to Twitter to prescribe a straight up shot of reality, and warn those celebrating the downfall of Democratic power, that there will be no real change in philosophy in Washington.
Looks like big Republican win tonight. Power shift? Yes. Philosophy shift? No!

Alluding to victories for more hawkish Republicans over their Democratic counterparts in the Senate, Paul did not mince his words, warning that an expansion of war will likely be on the cards.
Republican control of the Senate = expanded neocon wars in Syria and Iraq. Boots on the ground are coming!

The former Congressman also slammed the notion that voting is all that matters, saying that Americans should be more wary of how they vote at strategic times.
Fallacy: 'Doesn't matter how you vote, just vote.' How U vote only thing that DOES matter! Not voting is sometimes a good vote.

Turning to economic policy, the former Congressman then suggested that a GOP controlled Senate under Mitch McConnell look to revive and pass their version of Paul’s “Audit the Fed” legislation.
With Republican control of the Senate, looking forward to a vote on audit the Fed! What do you think, Majority Leader McConnell?

Finally, Paul pointed out that the election was telling, but it was not as important as the grassroots continuing to push liberty, alluding to the old saying “ideas are bulletproof”.
Important election but not most important ever. Ideas are what really count. That is where we are winning.

Don't expect big changes in D.C. after elections. Only thing that counts is pressure from the people. That should give us hope!

In an earlier appearance on RT, Paul denounced the two party monopoly state, noting “This whole idea that a good candidate that’s rating well in the polls can’t get in the debate, that’s where the corruption really is.”
“It’s a monopoly…and they don’t even allow a second option,” he added.
“If a third party person gets anywhere along, they are going to do everything they can to stop that from happening.”
