Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination on Senate floor

[supermario21]

Can we even BELIEVE what is going on!? THESE NEOCONS ARE JOINING RAND. WHAT IS HAPPENING?!

I don't know. I don't think many of these senators are neocons (Except Rubio.) They just followed the leader. And tonight Rand Paul is the leader. Note that the real neocons (McCain, Graham, Ayotte) are nowhere to be found.

Jeff Flake became Dean Heller who transformed back into Jeff Flake.

They don't care about Rand. They're just hangers-on and they want to be counted as being for it, now that it has become a popular stance with the American public.

Isn't that the goal of the "stealth" strategy. Be glad of heart.

Good, Mike Lee is back on.

I think Rand has certainly earned a campaign contribution from me for his Presidential run if and when he runs. Good job Senator Paul!

Senator Jeff Flake is on now.

Good to know... seeing how I couldn't even get in contact with his office the first 10 hours of this filibuster to make sure he knew it was happening. Ahh, Mike Lee. Good to see a true patriot standing up to speak. Not just a patriot when it's popular. I guess this shows how much twitter really does have an effect on media.

And also, I still haven't seen chief neo-cons McCain, Graham, and Ayotte (nowhere to be found).

Mike Lee makes a good point.

This is proving the truth of the statement Ron always said -- if you show politicians that a position is popular and that they can win by supporting it, they will support it with every bit of their being.

 

[deadfish]

Hmm... Seems kinda easy to lead these sheepish Senators?

 

[Uriah]

Rand will be going for at least another 7 hours or more. Morning news...

 

[anaconda]

Good, Mike Lee is back on.

He would kick ass as Attorney General or Supreme Court Justice.

We use neo-con a bit too often. There are many Republican war hawks who are not happy at all with the idea of drone strikes on American citizens on American soil.

Look at Barrasso. He was talking about his constituents being behind this. We definitely have grassroots on our side.

Osama is not an american citizen. The end.

No "or something" here, that's what they're doing. Just wait for the news coverage tomorrow, you're going to be disgusted.

Headline from tomorrow: "GOP engages in a Grand Old Filibuster. Newcomers such as Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz take on Brennan nomination".
