RE :”;We can’t win, so let us run and hide under the table and send out the RINO’s to savage the conservatives and side with Democrats!”

You already told me that you knew that Cruz cant win in defunding with the specific strategy and tactics that you demand now, those that are going forward now that you always expected to lose and you admitted you always did expect to lose against Dems in defunding Obama-care.

That your plan was always just to call those who engineered it cowards and traitors after it fails that you always expecte it too and to claim you won anyway.

So now Paul and Sowell join your list of cowards and traitors.

They say, ‘But I want to beat Dems. I want to beat Obama-care’

The comment you replied to I ended with "If Cruz wins for us and gets Obama to defund O-care he earns my endless support, Winning is winning, But if the idea is just to lose to prove an abstract point then I am not impressed.

yep

As the news report finish, Stan follows his parents into the kitchen where he asks if the people will be rescued off their roof tops. However, his parents brush it off, saying they don’t know and that’s not important compared to trying to place the blame on other people like the mayor of Beaverton and F.E.M.A.
Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow South Park(April 6, 2005 )

To you its not about beating Obama or repealing Obama-care, its just about finding someone else to blame,

You folks ever see the classic WWI movie “the Paths of Glory’??

Paths of Glory ,1957

Great movie about a French General ordering his troops to attack when they were overwhelmed by the German forces ending in disaster.

When it failed he BLAMED THEM calling them cowards an traitors

RE :”I need to see more classic movies.”

Paths_of_Glory(1957) is truly a classic WWI movie.

After the French general orders his troops to make a suicide attack on German positions completely outnumbered and outgunned some of the battalion survive to fall back to their trenches, so he orders his artillery to shell those same, his own troops .

When the artillery soldier says he cant shell their own french won troops without written orders he threatens to court Martial him too.

So the general presses to court martial and execute the surviving, his own troops, for cowardice.

“...When it failed he BLAMED THEM calling them cowards an traitors...”

And Kirk Douglas was ordered to select - at random - a group of Poilus (French infantry - literally, “Hairy ones”) to be executed to set an example for the rest.

It’s an amazing movie.

Kirk Douglas was a huge liberal, but he was a good actor.

“Spartacus”, “7 Days in May”, “The War Wagon”... some good flicks in there.

Burt Lancaster was another good actor. He was amazing in “From Here to Eternity” along with “Ol’ Blue Eyes” Sinatra, Ernest Borgnine, and Montgomery Clift.

Also “The Train” - another good flick.

RE “7 Days In May”: Check out the plot:
“US military leaders plot to overthrow the President because he supports a nuclear disarmament treaty and they fear a Soviet sneak attack. “

Hmmm....

Most of you saying crap like this didn’t have Rand on your “list” to begin with.

What is your problem?

Update yourself on the votes, please. Cruz did not vote for cloture.

And yet... Even Ron was right on far more things, in retrospect, than anyone else in Congress.

And no, I never voted for Ron. Rand isn’t Ron despite your attempt at equivocation.

Say the same for McCain, McConnel, Graham, Rubio...

The Rand Paul haters here are the most idiotic nut jobs I have ever seen. And yes Reagan would have been a sellout, RINO surrender monkey in their eyes. The stupidity displayed on these “Bash Paul” threats is beyond belief.

No. I have seen conflicting reports of Rand Paul’s stance on cloture. The first time I saw someone say he was going to vote for it, I said “huh? but he was on the floor with Cruz” — IOW, asking if Paul had actually said he was going to vote for cloture. On another thread, someone said he had announced he would vote AGAINST cloture. So I have been trying to verify whether or not he has actually, publically, stated which way he will vote.

I know the cloture vote hasn’t taken place. That’s why I called you out when you said “Cruz voted for cloture.”

Sheesh. Get a grip.

Yet another Kreskin!

Wow... Who knew FReepers were so prescient! Neat-o...

I’ve listened to that audio a couple of times now, no where does Rand say he supports Mitch’s bitching about Cruz’s filibuster. Rand even takes a shot at the “leadership” in Congress.

You PDS’ers will believe anything. You are worse than the Klowne Posse types that used to infest FR...
