What would the Obama Administration say in response to this effort by Rand Paul that would in any way be different than what McQueeg and Linda were saying today?

They are of the same party.

It is not self-apparent that this administration would not kill people in this country without trial. Their history raises well-founded doubt.

That’s absurd. Even if he voted to confirm Brennan, which he didn’t, his filibuster over presidential authority to kill any American anywhere for any reason is hardly “grandstanding.” Brennan was never the issue 0bamugabe The Drone Killer was.

Is it his hard-line pro-life stance that bothers you?

My Wife’s from Cambodia and “barely” survived that Hell.

She is a nice, industrious, God loving, Conservative and fantastic cook.

The libertarian has to convert ~ we don’t do it the other way around. They either fit in as a coalition partner or they don’t. Besides, they don’t have a coherent philosophy.

Hate is not too strong a word for me anymore.

I hate these two jagoffs. With a passion. Sell outs to this great country.

I have been thinking that McCain is suffering from the sickness infesting Washington DC. My prognosis is not good. Our nation faces a gloomy future from all the lobby money swirling around the Capitol Dome like a carbapenem-resistant infection. These politicians no longer think about the good of the nation; but how to maximize their off shore bank accounts. They are nothing but lying whores who will say anything it takes to stay in office so they can keep their place at the feeding trough. They are dirty stinking pigs.

If I thought about lobby money 24/7, I would become quite sick myself. I would be a bloated crap eating hog listening to nothing else but the dinner bell.

The main point here is these politicians no longer spend any time thinking about the noble virtues that made this nation great. When the quest for money is their only focus,they no longer pay attention to the fight for freedom and our nation’s place as the shining city on the hill.

I agree. But when the Libertarian is right 50% of the time, you thank and congratulate them. The other half the time, you criticize and reject.

When truth and honor come out of the mouth of a libertarian, we celebrate it.

Whenever I try to understand what motivates RINO backstabbers like McCain, Lindsley Graham, Boehner, McConnel, etc ad nauseum...I see the scumbag Spartan noble that was paid off with Persian gold coins bearing the face of Darius in the movie 300.

Most of DC has been bought by Chinese, Saudi, Russian, or Iranian money. Both parties.

McCain was a good pilot, and I don't hold that admiral's son thing against him. He still graduated the USNA (not with distinction, but he made it), and by all accounts, he flew well.

McCain flew A-4s off of a carrier, and weak pilots just don't do that. Several years in the hellish Hanoi Hilton attest to some inner strength.

That said, he is a horrible, horrible senator and an intermittent GOP turncoat. I tend to think that he knows the difference between conservative and liberal (and who is right and who is wrong); but he has this overpowering weakness for complementary ink. He must absolutely LIVE for heavy petting from the dominant media. This is vanity in its sickest form, one suspects, and he needs to be shown the (primary election) door, with all due disrespect.

I thought Holder’s willful gaming and stonewalling of Rand Paul’s simple ‘yes/no’ question was ridiculous. Holder did that on purpose just to agitate the Republicans because Holder sees our entire Congress as evil and was just playing them.

I agree. I am very willing as a conservative to concede ground on some issues to libertarians, should they want to come to the table, and actually offer enough of a vote margin (above a measly 1%). We can negotiate the scope of military operations, getting even more strict on monetary policy, and drug laws as a state’s issue. Start talking about a woman’s right to murder her baby, or redefining marriage, or making America radically secular, and you’ll lose me very quickly. Also, libertarians need to stop being so whiny (”if you don’t like my candidate, I’ll make sure you get liberal Supreme Court judges!”), and they also need to stop treating Ron Paul like some sort of god.

As to the actual post, these two are pathetic beyond words. Were there bunk-beds at the White House? Zero and Plugs on top, J-Linz on bottom? Maybe they had Taxby Clueliss sleeping in the shower. These guys are not with us. They’re losers. Our guys were in the senate, making a stand. And then, McLame and his Siamese twin slink back into the room, long after it’s all over, and attack US! I’ve had it! It’s time we gave Graham a cement election overcoat.

I’ve been around McCain and his family several times. His mental state is questionable. He is unable to modify whatever he thinks is fact even when faced with facts.

Graham is just odd. He was on the Senate floor today and said a lot. If you watch and listen to him at the end of his speech he totally contradicts what he says in the body of his speech when he says at the end we will kill you and you made us, etc. The last thing he says is weird.

Both McCain and Graham have been in Washington too long and no longer have any idea what daily reality is in America.

The one thing about McCain that should be apparent by now is he is no friend to Conservatives.

Oh, every once in a while he and his buddy make some statement or take some stance that sounds good, but when the rubber hits the road, both of these guys vote and think like their Democrat “friends”.

Your observation regarding McCain's (and Graham's) passion for exposure and acceptance by the media is dead on.

Rand voted ‘yes’ on Hagel though, right?
