Rand has yielded to Mike Lee.

 

[Austin]

Lee: "We voted against it because we love America."

 

[sirgonzo420]

They sure are putting on a good show

[Kotin]

[S.Shorland]

In Baucus' spech beforehand he says the troops can do a lot but they can't do everything.Therefore we need to leave Afghanistan and concentrate on Pakistan.Withdrawal to start in July and be complete by the end of next year.China has 18 months then.

 

[sailingaway]

If this doesn't stiffen tea party spines in the House, nothing will.

I wonder how Bachmann plans to vote, THIS time?

 

[Austin]

Reid is on saying Rand is grandstanding.

He's fear mongering, saying terrorists will start planning attacks at midnight when it expires.

 

[stuntman stoll]

Now Reid is fear mongering verbally spanking the jr senator from Kentucky

 

[Austin]

Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is agreeing with Reid.

EDIT: In some areas.. he's saying Rand should have the opportunity to offer the amendments he wants to, not just the ones that Reid approves.

Basically, he's wants to pass the PATRIOT Act, but does agree with Rand on the need for debate on the amendments.
