Any GOP Senator Not Standing w/ Rand on That Senate Floor Just Half a Man As Far As I'm Concerned...
Reaganite Republican ^ | 06 March 2013 | Reaganite Republican

Posted on 03/06/2013 10:05:42 PM PST by Reaganite Republican

'If there were an ounce of courage in this body 
I would be joined by other senators… 
saying they will not tolerate this'

Along the way on rookie Senator Rand Paul's epic -and ongoing- filibuster, he had a little help from his friends... 

-with such patriots as Ted Cruz asking lengthy questions in order to give the man's voice a break. I think my favorite part was were Senator Paul said we'll have no notice, no warning if the President decides you're one he needs to dispose of- all you'll hear is the buzz of the plane before it sends a Hellfire up your rear-end: Paul: "Is this what we want from government?"

As for progress, the White House hasn't had a word to say on whether they think it's legal for Dear Leader to assassinate US citizens with drones... and won't even answer the phone. Unsurprisingly, the American MSM has pretty much buried the story, save Fox.

'I have allowed the president to pick his political appointees… but I will not sit quietly and 
let him shred the Constitution.'

But shamefully, twelve Senators collaborationists were in-fact having dinner with Obama at a nearby restaurant while Rand Paul made a brave and principled stand -on the 177th anniversary of the Alamo... these are people NOT on the side of Liberty, my friends:
As with the 'fiscal cliff' deal where the RINOs came out for a public grazing, NOW you know who they are- pretty much a list of what's wrong with this party, don't you think?

Your comment that if they weren’t with Paul on Senate floor, they’d be “half a man” unfortunately that’s what most of them are to begin with, so by not standing with Paul, they figure somewhere near one quarter masculine!

They aren’t any part of a man.

They are GOP.

*spits*

That being said...

/respect for Mr. Paul and Mr. Cruz. These men are admirable.

Let those 12 loser Senators fall off the cliff. I am tired of their cheating and lying. They have made their bed selling their souls to the devil. The devil will deal with them and it won’t be pretty.

I’m in total agreement! Those who caved and dined with Obama obviously were the ones he thought he could bring over to the dark side! The Senators who stood with Rand Paul were the True Patriots. Was SO HAPPY to see it. Have been waiting for five years now for someone to grow a backbone. Thank you Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, John Thune and all of the other Senators who participated in this filibuster. I had it live streaming on the computer all evening. Just maybe someone who doesn’t get it understood that Obama’s power trip is way over the top!!!

Unless there is poison involved.........to far I know.

Why are you surprised by those on the list.

We have so few conservatives in the senate and house it is disgusting.

Didn’t Rand cave on Tehran Hagel and Hanoi Kerry?

I was disappointed too, but the line he’s drawn is he’ll allow political appointees... but this drone stuff is tearing the Constitution to shreds

You know, I’m a new fan of Paul, ever since he split with his dad’s goofy foreign policy I’m a fan... and LOVE to have another fighter.

But the guy’s got to pick his battles with so little support amongst the GOP... shame Bachmann isn’t a Senator, that would be quite a pair in there.

According to the AP, Lindsey Graham said it was ridiculous to think drones would be used to kill people in America and said the debate was “paranoia between libertarians and the hard left that is unjustified.”

Ron Johnson spoke on the floor in favor of Paul’s filibuster.

That he did. He has a conviction to deference to the president on appointees. I don’t agree with him on it. I think Hagel especially is not just someone who turns my stomach ideologically, he’s also hopelessly under-qualified. However, Rand Paul’s stand today for the rights of citizens in the sovereign territory of the US was admirable, and redeems him at least a little for the Hagel vote. I want him in Washington. Now, J-Linz... that’s another story.
