Any GOP Senator Not Standing w/ Rand on That Senate Floor Just Half a Man As Far As I'm Concerned...

'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:
- Lindsey Graham
- Tom Coburn
- John McCain
- Kelly Ayotte
- Pat Toomey (joined filibuster on floor afterwards)
- Bob Corker
- Ron Johnson
- Saxby Chambliss
- John Hoeven
- Dan Coats
- Richard Burr
- Mike Johanns.
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?

The question is...will Rand Paul vote for Brennan anyway? He screamed and yelled about hagel and voted to confirm him. This could just be theater. We shall see.

Extremely disappointed to see Toomey on this list. I am in PA and have always thought highly of him, but this tarnishes his image in my book.

Rob Portman, where the hell were you?

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.
A lot of non libertarians and non leftists are asking why the democrats and Obama won't clearly say so.

My money is on Paul voting to confirm. But I’m just a cynic.
Upon what do I base that? Paul was furious about a letter from Holder. Therefore, all it will take is soothing words from Holder and Paul will get in line. Summation: Paul filibustered Brennan over the actions of another. That’s the same scenario that led to the Hagel fiasco.
He’s just posturing.

His party does not deserve him.
I hope he realizes that and helps to legitimize a real 3rd party.
