Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination on Senate floor

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.

Don't be amazed. Nancy has advisers that scour the news sources and see which way the wind is blowing. If there was any measure of criticism of Rand out there, she would have jumped on it. But since yesterday is being pretty much universally praised from all sides, then she was told not to be critical.

Right. That's the point. The wind is blowing in the wrong direction for Pelosi to go on the attack.
 
NM....I found it. This must of been a different twitter feed.

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?

I don't want to give you my address.
How about a signature bet?
I pick your signature for one month if you lose, and visa-versa?

No major news outlet will be talking about this by Friday night, I'll give you until midnight PST, to see if any of them have a story on it.
We can also include the top five popular political blogs if you wish.

Sorry guys, you really got excited about nothing.

A thirteen hour filibuster does not get the attention of the united states, and is not even a compelling news story to the average Joe. It's interesting to you guys, and seems like big news, but that's because you pay attention to political posturing and such. For 98% of Americans, some guy talked a bit in congress about drones.

Major news outlet: Any serious source of news, not just those owned by the MIC and seen on cable television.

Agree to that definition and you're on.

Name the major news sources that you think will be talking about his filibuster Friday.
We can even give it until Tuesday, in case NPR does a story on it. Current TV and Democracy Now might, but those are only watched by political news junkies anyway.

But I think even you can agree, that all MSM will ignore this. And they will because it was only a 13 hour filibuster. It was easily ignorable, although certainly not ignoble.

You too, brandon. Since you just neg-repped me for this, and told me to "admit I am wrong"
If I am wrong, you can join in this bet too.
I have space for two signatures.

I don't know how you can keep saying this, over and over and over again, when it's demonstrably false and has been so since yesterday. It's been the top story on google news at several points and it's still on the first page.

Like I said, I have space for two sigs.
You neg-repped me, told me I was wrong.
take me up on the bat as well.

And Google News caters to your news reading habits. My Google News does not mention the filibuster at all.

Dude...he's on Rush right now. He's on Fox after that. He took a giant step forward. Why is it you cannot see this?

The news cycle in America is very short and almost nothing short of mass murder keeps the headlines for longer than a day or two. So your point that this won't be talked about much a couple days after it happens is totally irrelevant.

This isn't a bet about whether I can name the sources, nor is it about Tuesday. You shot off your big mouth. Do we have a bet or are you turning weasel?

The quote of you weaseling out is about to become my sig. Put up or STFU.

Rand has forced the Huffington Post to talk about Obama's drones. They have a huge (and graphic) photo on their front page in regards to the drones.

Amazing.
 
Ah sheeit, UWdude is throwin' it down!

Also, what's all this talk about Rand being on Beck and Limbaugh? I half expect to see him on Fox tonight. Something tells me that even the Nightly Propaganda Programming on the alphabet soup networks will be talking about Rand and his little love-in. You oughta stop posting, dude.

Well, younger man who talks like Ron Paul who I've been wanting to support...I'm almost there. I read every fucking one of this 48 page thread before posting, and damn if you didn't just move a mountain yesterday. I'm so fucking proud today.
