Calling out the 2 faces of BO. Nice.

This is a big deal. This a very, very, very big deal.

Rand is just dominating.

 

[awake]

Rand is prime time now...he is talking to Obama directly now...lol

Gone from the webz for a bit and I miss epicness.

The filibuster would have been AWESOME had Ted Cruz done it. He opposed not only Hagel, but also Kerry. No inconsistency there.

Facepalm, although Cruz has more than earned his money tonight.

This is the day that Rand convinced the Rand Haters to join him.

 

[USAFCapt]

This may win him the presidency.

Ken Gardner ‏@kesgardner
Here's my problem. What we are seeing today, we should have been seeing with Chuck Hagel. Then it would have really meant something.


Ken Gardner ‏@kesgardner
.@L_Wheels Both Hagel and Brennan support the drone policy. Hagel is also pro-Iran and anti-Israel. Why support Hagel, filibuster Brennan?


Ken Gardner ‏@kesgardner
I'm not imposing any purity test on Rand Paul. I MIGHT be suggesting that he isn't as consistent or principled as some of you believe he is.


Ken Gardner ‏@kesgardner
It's also depressing how many of you are dismissing my comments merely because Hagel isn't "pro-Israel." As if that is a good thing.



Ken Gardner ‏@kesgardner
Also, don't cite broken clock rules. Sometimes being right for the wrong reasons does our side more harm than being wrong.


Ken Gardner ‏@kesgardner
BTW, who exactly is pushing for drone strikes against Americans on American soil? Not even Holder has stooped to this level. Not yet.


Ken Gardner ‏@kesgardner
If Rand Paul were to say "my support of Chuck Hagel was a huge mistake" and actually mean it, I would take back everything I've said today.


Ken Gardner ‏@kesgardner
BTW, the drone policy targets some Americans abroad who are fighting for Al Qeada in places like Yemen, not ordinary Americans here.

Sigh, good thing Raimondo and others are bashing him constantly.

How many senators have joined Rand so far? 8?

I think 8-10.

Rand Paul is the shiznit. Oh man! He's spent half a day just laying into our losses of civil liberties and failed foreign policy. What an opportunity!!!

The Ron Paul movement laid a golden egg by getting this dude into the senate.

 

[Lucille]

This may win him the presidency.

It's true. Stand With Rand will probably be his campaign slogan.

 

[RabbitMan]

top story on google news!

 

[kcchiefs6465]

Words can't express it. 'Libertarian party caravan signature strike.' Goddamn Rand Paul. I've never been so proud.

 

[acptulsa]

Sigh, good thing Raimondo and others are bashing him constantly.

Let them. If you hear anyone trying to downplay the issue, tell them Rand promised from the first to stop just as soon as either Obama pledged not to target us at home when not actively attacking, or for the Senate to pass a Sense of the Senate Resolution to the same effect. Obama has been silent, Senate Democrats objected.

They can't hide behind their masks any longer.

 

[V3n]

The Ron Paul movement laid a golden egg by getting this dude into the senate.

None of this would be happening today if it weren't for Ron Paul. Not just that this is his son, but Cruz, Lee, the sentiment, the movement..

When Ron Paul runs, he WINS!

 

[supermario21]

Let's be honest. Did any of us expect #StandwithRand would be trending #1 in America and that #RandPaul would also be trending? It's March of 2013. Keep it going. Rand 16 is going to make Obama 08 look like nothing.

 

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Sigh, good thing Raimondo and others are bashing him constantly.

Who is "Ken Gardner" and why should we care about him?

 

[supermario21]

I don't know. He just shows up on a lot of Rand Paul searches. He must put himself out there a lot. No particular reason to care though. He's also taking a ton of heat so it's amusing to post these tweets. He just tweeted that Rand is too much like Ron.
