At least Rand Paul got up on his feet and spoke.

I can't stand the guy, but he filibustered Brennon the way it's supposed to be done in front of the Senate and the country. No anonymous holds. And for that, I have to give him his due.

1. At least Rand Paul votes against the country's interests over and over.

[bluedigger]

2. His heart is pure.

Oh yeah, fuck Rand Paul!

[HappyMe]

5. ...

Fuck Rand fucking Paul.

[leftyohiolib]

3. and about something even we here can agree on

[1-Old-Man]

4. You are right, and it is clear that most decrying him today didn't actually listen to him yesterday

I do not argue that he is a worthless asswipe for the most part, but yesterday was his exception. He was right on point, even if he did stray a little bit now and then. His argument was not against Brennon and it was not against Drones, it was demanding from the President under what circumstances and authority he thought he could kill Americans, on and off of our soil. That is what he spoke about and anyone who actually listened to him knows it. He made it a point that his was not a dispute with the nomination or with the use of Drones, only that each was a pawn in getting him to the floor to voice his complaint/demand.

6. It was bullshit. The President isn't claiming new powers to assassinate

Americans.

7. Thank you!

I'm so sick and tired of this RandyPaulBots posing as Democrats or Liberals while being Libertarians and infesting this pro-Democratic site.

[Iggo]

8. Just the old ones?

[TwilightGardener]

10. All Presidents would act (and have acted in the past) to protect us from attack.

[bigtree]

11. I listened

. . . all I could hear was his opposition to the 1964 the Civil Rights Act, marriage equality, VWA, support for fetal personhood . . .

Fuck rand paul.

[Iggo]

9. Fuck Ron Paul...

...and his spillage.

[Kalidurga]

12. I agree with the premise of the OP...

Filibusters should be out in the open and they should have to well keep talking. We should know where people are at on the issues even if we don't agree. What is astounding to me is the attacks from Right Wingers from the left. It's the strangest thing I have ever seen.

13. It was a 13 hour announcement of his intention to run for Prez in 2016

since his daddy got crushed ... by the Repugs ...
