They got a lot in to the record. A lot was said about Obama that has never been said formally.
What Rand Paul did was brave and something to admire. That in itself is a breath of fresh air.
Kudos to Ted Cruze from Texas and others who had the ability to stand and deliver.
People were watching. People were listening. It was not an effort that went unnoticed and I’m betting that this won’t be the last time we see this.
There will be retribution by Harry Reid. You could see how pissed off he was when the little twit showed up last last and acted like Duke and Duke in the movie Trading Places. How dare Rand Paul EXERCISE his rights. Well to hell with Harry Reid who for all his power cannot change the rules to stop the filibuster. I urge Paul and Cruze and others to use the filibuster more and more. It is the only way they will get heard and it is real leverage against the evil destroying the United States of America.
Might as well go down fighting. The Alamo comparison was and appropriate and unfortunate analogy and a sad one at that. But the good thing is that we saw some real leadership by men who are worth following and supporting as long as they keep fighting like this.
Way to go Rand Paul!
Way to go Rand Paul!

But, really, who saw or will see any of it? It makes our side feel better because Paul brought up a lot of issues we like to harp about. But who is talking about this today besides pundits and those of us who don’t need convincing.
Sorry, but Paul’s vote for Hagel has just really soured me on his motives.
