Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination on Senate floor

[amonasro]

I need to send up my ENT just in case they start losing their voices. Nothing like good old steroid injections to take down vocal cord swelling

Also, Rand, don't forget to keep hydrated. And dry clean that suit when you're finished.

Rand slipped up against Durbin, but that's to be expected. This is going on 13 hours. I have no idea how he's still standing.

Yeah, but that will be the one thing played again and again.

That's not fair to turn this into a debate now. Good on Cruz for taking over that question. A fully awake and rested Rand would have answered that question easily. OBL was not an American citizen, was not on US soil, etc. Apples and oranges.

Yup, good on Cruz. I never knew about this Cruz or this Lee, will have to do research.

How? By giving him more credit than he deserved?

Rand spoke the truth, and spoke it well. I don't think Durbin's pedantic, obvious, totally irrelevant debate thrust deserved a 'touche', but Rand did refute it.

Durbin is like a vulture.

I feel so uneasy about this. We KNOW some of these people do not care about this issue. In fact, they probably agree with Obama.... and now they are joining us...

Winning is much scarier than losing.

Don't feel uneasy. They're just the posers they always were. Just keep your eyes on the prize.

Sheeple follow the leader, no matter the leader. Let them follow liberty for a change.

RAND PAC 2013 - show some support for his filibuster efforts

[phill4paul]

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

I dunno if tis is gonna be possible this time. I'm a nay-sayer myself, but this seems to be Rands filibuster on everything but the MSM. I dunno if they caould pull that off.

 

[mac_hine]

Time to stop beating around the "Bush" about 911.

Don't let these assholes frame the debate.

 

[green73]

Wasn't OBL a CIA Asset?

Shut up, you. The MSM could be watching.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Yo, Durbin--when the hell was Osama bin Laden ever on U.S. soil? Huh?

Asshole.

Bin Laden was not a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil.

Freedom is popular.

Glad that Cruz took over. This is exactly why although I know some don't like lawyers, and Dewhurst attacked Cruz in the 2012 election primary for being a lawyer, I knew that him being a lawyer would come in handy at some time. Today shows why him being a lawyer may be a good thing.

Yes, and the SEALS were used, not a drone. Surely that wouldn't have happened on US soil? I'm impressed with Cruz's save.

Urgent: Rep. Massie says Paul says “his feet were sore.”
Per Pergram-Capitol Hill



Off-cam with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), one of several House GOPers who came over to lend moral support to Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) during the filibuster.



Massie talked with Paul on the floor:
He’s feeling good. The only thing he said is his feet were sore.



Massie says there was joking around on the floor about getting Paul the “Stadium Buddy,” a catheter system which attaches around the leg.



Massie also says that McConnell and Paul held a fundraiser for him last night on Capitol Hill:

Massie:
I remember he didn’t drink any water and he only ate a little salad. He may have been prepping.

Oh I'm not denying that at all, just saying he was clearly at a loss for thought for a few moments, and just had to throw out a touche. It's clear he's exhausted. Cruz is really driving his points home though.
