Texas Republican Rep. Ron Paul, notorious for casting the sole vote against scores of House resolutions, will support Wednesday’s resolution to condemn Saturday’s shooting in Arizona and honor the victims.

“He supports the resolution,” Paul spokesman Rachel Mills told The Daily Caller in an email.

Paul stood alone recently by voting against a resolution honoring imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo for receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, a resolution that condemned Palestinian attacks on Israel, and a resolution that offered condolences to Burmese citizens reeling from a devastating cyclone.

Paul doesn’t always cast the only nay vote, of course: He recently supported a move to honor golfer Chi Chi Rodriguez for his work with children and another that dealt with “Romania’s ban on intercountry adoptions and the welfare of orphaned or abandoned children in Romania.”
