[UtahApocalypse]

Man its getting crowded behind Rand

 

[supermario21]

John Thune in the house. Lee smiling in the background.

Look at all the guys in the chamber!

Thune is up.

 

[lx43]

Look at all the suites in the back wanting to get some attention. Still welcome them to the party!

"History will hold us accountable" -- Sen. Rubio. Remember that when the vote to authorize bombing Iran comes up. #StandwithRand

Luke Rudkowski ‏@Lukewearechange
I think the only reason why Rubio decided to #StandWithRand is because he is really desperate for some attention

 

[Spoa]

Senator Thune (SD) speaking now.

Noel Sheppard ‏@NoelSheppard
Insiders tell me Eric Holder has been ordered to White House for opinion on legality of drone strike on Capitol.

I had to read that several times before getting it. LOL.

This filibuster has the chance to begin rebranding the GOP. Rand can be the standard bearer of the GOP in short time for mainstream GOPer's.

#StandWithRand

Would not have expected to see Thune up there. Good on him.

 

[Origanalist]

Rubio can't shine Cruz's shoes intellectually speaking. I kinda feel sorry for him.

I don't.

Probable GOP frontrunners of 2016.

Sen. Thune doesn't seem to make sure to call Rand a junior Senator, bur Rubio sure corrected himself quick, huh?

 

[hammy]

This is literally the most ingenious thing I have ever seen. Neocons are flipping out over the illegal drone bombings on my facebook. Where have they been?! This is absolutely incredible!!!

On the news front:

The real shame for liberals and leftists tonight is seeing a cause that should be popularly recognized — ending drone strikes against American citizens overseas, or drone strikes in general for that matter — now being championed by a series of Tea Party and mainstream GOP legislators many on the other side see as members of the far right...Rand is a little hyperbolic. Domestic strikes are not a foreseeable future possibility. Unfortunately, overseas targeting of an American citizen (Anwar al-Awlaki) is very poor judgment at best and at worst a permanent stain on civil liberties on the president's record.

Could this be the first domino picked up? Will we start sliding back up that slippery slope? This is awesome. Anyone thinks Senator Rand Paul will beat Strom Thurman's record of 24 hours?

 

[thrillhouse]

It's getting late and I have work in the AM. Soon its gonna be #StayUpWithRand

 

[Brian4Liberty]

I bet Obama and Co. would like to use a drone about now.

Obama probably discussed it with McCain and Ayotte over dessert.


I would hate to have to come on and try to speak after Rand and Cruz. At the very least I would want to be prepared.

And in walks Rubio...

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.

lol, now Rubio is quoting The Godfather. Compare him to Rand, Cruz and Lee, he's not intellectual match.

Obligatory hip reference -he's so street man. Someone please to point him to the kids table.

Wow the sip seen round the world comes back to bite Rubio again

Lmao
