Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination on Senate floor

[acptulsa]

By Friday evening newstime, nobody will be writing about it.

How much you want to bet? Hmmm? Twenty? Ten? Five?

Come on. Prove you aren't just trolling and you believe what you spew. Put up or shut up. Tell you what--three bucks. Three worthless FRNs for your credibility. What do you say?

It has been the major topic all morning thus far on CSPAN's Washington Journal.

Beck is talking about it as well. Had Mike Lee on at the top of the hour. I'm going to tune into Rush and Hannity as well to see if they lead with it.

 

[hillertexas]

Glenn just said Rand would be on his show within an hour

 

[rubioneocon]

Can't be said enough, Rubio comes across very immature for being a Senator and not that bright. That guy has zero chance of being President.

yep

 

[Bastiat's The Law]

Has anyone remarked how ridiculous Rubio looked up there? I mean besides us?

I imagine Rubio is still the Old Guard's favorite right now. Therefore there will be no MSM shenanigans here.

Laura Ingraham has been praising Rand all morning and criticizing people like Graham for not showing up.

 

[CaptLouAlbano]

Beck is still on the subject. Rand is coming on later.

 

[supermario21]

They just had a segment on FOX devoted to it. Bret Baier said it was a huge success and breakthrough for Rand bringing this issue to the forefront of debate. He mentioned that Lindsey Graham basically said the whole thing was ridiculous and really far-fetched but Baier seemed to side with Rand saying there are "serious issues that need to be discussed here" and that even the Weekly Standard is trying to get in on it because they want the Bin Laden papers released.

as Cruz said last night during the filibuster live on CSPAN2 and CNN and posted in this thread . . .
the White House switchboard number is 1-202-456-1111

and as also mentioned earlier in this thread

ask to be transfered through to your Senator's office through the Senate switchboard at 1-202-224-3121

WH 1-202-456-1111

Senators 1-202-224-3121

Stand with Rand

I Listened to several talk radio programs on the way in to work(I have sirius) and they were all talking about this. CNN, HLN, Fox Radio, Glenn Beck, and my local station. And every single one of them were supporting Rand. Not a single dissenting voice was heard.

I just listened to Nancy Pelosi on CSPAN2. She was asked about Rand's filibuster. She didn't attack it. She sort of tiptoed around, but she wasn't critical of it. She said she hoped the Democrats use the filibuster in the same way in the future.

CNN Dana Bash mentioned a WPJ editorial where the author is anonymous as part of her not everyone agrees with Rand Paul quip. She doesn't even know who wrote it and she quotes it on air. Dana Bash = Rachel Maddow. I really cannot stand em.

I saw it too on CSPAN2 live online . . . http://www.c-span.org/Live-Video/C-SPAN2/

Pelosi acknowledged she DID NOT see any of the filibuster, though was aware it was going on . . .
and she did not even know about Rand's questions to the CIA nominee by letter

Yes, life was too short for her to watch it, or something to that effect. But she didn't call him a right wing nut and accuse him of trying to grandstand. She tiptoed, but she didn't attack. I was a little amazed.

Friends of people I know are just livid about it being Paul saying something. Observe:

ok so like I think Rand Paul is a super shitty person, *but* I do agree with him -- but I am gonna use this moment to be like, Wow Dems, are you FUCKING kidding me? Where is the motherfucking leadership? you're just going to fucking sit there as this asswipe makes some really legitimate points and like, not take fucking charge????? I think this situation makes us look really bad. like sooper pathetic.

Heh.

 

[compromise]

Rand Paul leaves the Senate after the filibuster.

 

[ninepointfive]

Rand Paul leaves the Senate after the filibuster.

Heh.

Yes, folks, as long as you continue to consider capital Ds and capital Rs more important than your liberty, you will continue to 'look sooper pathetic'.
