Rand Paul filibustering Brennan nomination on Senate floor

[UWDude]

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.

I'm not weaseling.

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.

That was the terms I set down. To make a bet we would have to agree on terms to determine who was right and who was wrong.
I'm not going to have you point to DailyPaul.com and say "see, see, they are still talking about it there!"

I told you you could even name five major blogs.

I even extended it to Tuesday, just in case a major outlet does do a story on it after Friday.

I don;t think I am weaseling at all.

Agree to the sig for two months and you're on.

I decided to write a brief letter to my senator.

Hi Mr. Joe Donnelly, First I would like to congratulate you on your win in November. I was an avid supporter of your cause during the election, and was pleased to hear that the person I voted for won.

My issue today is that of Rand Paul's filibuster on the senate floor. I feel that Rand's ability to maintain a voice for the people of our country has been felt by a large majority of our communities.

I ask you to please entertain the idea of supporting Rand's message in a bipartisan way. The momentum of just one more senator stepping up will turn the attention from Rand, to the actual issues, which are not being discussed. I want to live my adult life in a country that is free from fear of its government, I want to be proud of my government, and be able to live a life full of diverse people that want those same things.

I sincerely hope that you will think about the pros and cons of each option, and do what you think is best for our country.

You jackass. Third story down...and I don't rely on an NSA front such as the Google News feed for information; I haven't been to the page in months.

My Google News did not have it on the front page at all, until 23 minutes ago, when NYT story came up:

2 G.O.P. Senators Assail Colleague’s Filibuster Over Drones

McCain and Graham are doing rand a service by arguing with him, and giving his filibuster a little bit of gravitas. If they were smart, they would just ignore him, but they aren't, which is a good thing.

Just got done watching Rubio speak in the vid attached to this article about Rand and his little get-together yesterday. My oh my, does Rubio sound like an idiot when he speaks.

Hi, UWDude!

 

[randpaul2016]

fox news right now guys

 

[UWDude]

Hi, UWDude!

Me thinks you misunderstand the bet.
Say "hi" to me tomorrow night when you find a story.

 

[NorfolkPCSolutions]

Methinks you misunderstand the post.

I was calling you an idiot.

 

[NorfolkPCSolutions]

I certainly hope someone is vidcapping Rand on Faux right now. I'm watching from the link at shadownet.ro/channels.php stream 2

...very good interview, even showed that cunt McCain. Liked Rand's response as well.

sure this has been posted already...gotta love his logic

john r stanton ‏@dcbigjohn
Graham tells reporters that he'll vote for Brennan as a result of Paul's filibuster

john r stanton ‏@dcbigjohn
Asked if he's afraid of Tea Party Graham says "not over this" re paul filibuster

john r stanton ‏@dcbigjohn
Democrats seem more than happy to let McCain and Graham do the heavy lifting of supporting Obama in this Paul fight.



john r stanton ‏@dcbigjohn
lot of Dems agree with Paul on civil liberties and don't want to cross their left. so they're letting McCain and Graham do their dirty work


john r stanton ‏@dcbigjohn
Plus for dems, why get your hands dirty fighting the libertarian hero when you can just let Republicans fight amongst themselves

 

[rubioneocon]

The Establishment is circling the wagons. WSJ ed bd throwing hissy fit about @SenRandPaul filibuster http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324128504578344700320290068.html …



kirsten powers ‏@kirstenpowers10
So the Establishment talking points on @SenRandPaul filibuster is to pretent that he's out of control...needs to "calm down." Predictable.

I really like Kirsten. She's one of those good lefties on Fox.

 

[NorfolkPCSolutions]

Www

Can someone change this thread to filibuster/Brennan live thread?? The story isn't yet over!

seconded

 

[brandon]

Looks like his nomination passed 63 - 34

 

[supermario21]

Lol our favorite twitter establishment hacks are bashing Rand now for his Hagel vote, basically now accusing him of supporting Hagel's foreign policy.

Kevin Eder ‏@keder
For Hagel, against Brennan. #headspinning

Kevin Eder ‏@keder
To justify his vote for Hagel, Rand says he defers to the president. Same logic doesn't apply two weeks later. #WhatTheHell

We must not only #StandwithRand, but #Standwitheachother to defeat the War Party.
