huh Sen. Cruz never gave a maiden speech, a very big deal in a sen's career. used his 1st time speaking on floor to back Rand filibuster

I gotta be up at 6am but I cant go to bed...

Same.

I guess if Rand can stand, I can't sleep.

I am really impressed with this Cruz. Is he true libertarian??

he vociferously opposed Hagel, saying he was too passive to Iran, which caused many to think he was a typical hawk on foreign policy. But I am very impressed by him today, and he is definitely an ally on domestic issues. We'll have to see what his foreign policy views and overall votes are like as time goes on...

Close enough for me, and I get to vote on him.

I'd trade Coburn for him eight days a week. And as for Inhofe, hell, I'll throw in Gov. Fallon and half the State Senate if you trade him for that Inhofe psycho.

I think we make a mistake taking any strong defense talk as a sign of neoconnery. Our own Rep. Bridenstine is all for strong defense, and fond of Israel, but ready to cut Pentagon waste and turning into a very populist libertarian on many other issues.

Might be record number of #GOP house members on #Senate floor. They're lining the walls according to cloak room. Literally #StandWithRand

Mike Lee on Greta says Rand cannot sit down for a moment or even use the restroom!

Obama busy courting Graham, McCain, yesterday's mashed potatoes. Shift tonight is to new generation. Stunning media skills #StandWithRand

Cruz is pretty awesome.

Yes indeed. I have to look into this guy more.

 

[ican'tvote]

This is the happiest (politically) I've been since I thought Ron was going to win the Iowa popular vote.

 

[DeadheadForPaul]

I regret not sending $ to Cruz's campaign - he definitely deserved the support of the liberty movement

A list I wouldn't want to be on: GOP senators who didn't show up to help out @SenRandPaul during #StandWithRand

wow that seems ages ago, its been a while

 

[NoOneButPaul]

Ive always thought that if I was going to really filibuster something i'd cath myself...

I wonder if Rand did that?

 

[phill4paul]

I'm guessing Rand did prepare with some type of apparatus.
