What’s the point? He’ll probably end up voting for him anyway, like he did Hagel.

How do we know that Brennan isn’t really Ben Gazi?

From what I can tell, only Sarah Palin is immune from FR backlash.

I think his vote for hagel was more of an in your face, upside the head slap at the republican leadership for not supporting his vote to NOT allow cloture. Had they supported him, hagel would not have been confirmed. He was very angry.

Brennan, a fluent speaker in Arabic and convert to Islam, will run the CIA.

What could possibly go wrong?

Rand Paul is talking about Fusion Centers now. People on the lists from the Fusion Center in Missouri included people with bumperstickers supporting pro-life, supporting a third party, supporting border security, supporting the Constitution.

Go Rand Go.

I have read that John Brennan converted to Islam. Hmmmm.

If true, it is one more reason to distrust and detest the administration.

He said he voted for Hagel because he believes the President has the authority to appoint the nominees of his choice.

I doubt it. Paul and Hagel have something in common in they both have a strong noninterventionist streak.

Is our imminent CIA Director John Brennan a Muslim?

Has anyone asked?

There is reasonable speculation that he was converted during a long stint in the Middle East.

Since the primary opponent of the CIA these days are Islamists, whether the imminent CIA Director is a Muslim becomes a VERY REASONABLE QUESTION.
