We have some new junior senators that have passion for the constitution...and they’ve been at it for 10 1/2 hours so far. :)

[ConorMacNessa]

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!

Must retire – the 0445 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer, already mounts the parapet.

Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes!



All Gave Some – Some Gave All!!!

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[MoochPooch]

Hi & bye, Kathy. Gotta rush home before our snowstorm. (Aren’t I a wimp compared to Alaskans?)

[luvie]

Well, shucks! Most of them were at dinner with obama! I’m really ticked at the ones who went to that!

They were....Graham, Corker, Ayotte, McCain, Coats, Coburn, Burr, Johanns, Toomey, Johnson, Hoeven, and Chambliss....just so you know.

[luvie]

I now feel represented! For the first time in 4 1/2 years! :)

[mylife]

Grrr!!!
I had forgotten about that sideshow.

[Kathy in Alaska]

And in first.....Mac grabs the gold!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, Mooch...safe journey. Stay nice and cozy!

Spring is trying to make an appearance here.

[luvie]

We need to start taking names and taking out the trash!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I can’t wait for the young guns to put the “cavers to everything dim” out to pasture. As if there was any respect still to lose, it makes me sick that the “cavers” went to dinner with the scumbag. They are too stupid to ever get the fact that if his lips are moving it’s a lie.

[Kathy in Alaska]

And a close second....Nana Hope snags the silver!!

[luvie]

They are just suck-ups and they should have begged off to stand with Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Tim Scott and the others who are asking the hard questions to the administration!

One of the Senators who did go to dinner was bragging about it and whining that this filibuster was taking too long.

Well, tough stuff, Mr. Johnson! YOU should have stood with the others...and against this illegal regime!

/rant :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

And rounding out the top three....Hawaii!!

[mylife]

It was not the hungry that went to dinner with Obama.
It was the Power Hungry.

[mylife]

Paul just conceded a point to Durbin.
Now here is Ted to clarify and get us back on track.

[mylife]

I love Ted!!

[mylife]

Ted is doing a pre eminent strike on the DHS and their Armored vehicles with 2 billion rounds of ammo!

[luvie]

Ted Cruz has a laser-straight mind to find the right answers. He is NOT wishy-washy and never yields to the “enemy”. I just hope he keeps this passion and social conservatism!

Now...I gotta quit listening..darn it!...and go to sleep. Talk soon! :)

I think lots of folks are planning #paulnighters. LOL!

[mylife]

No paulnighter for me.

Cya later.

[mylife]

Adjourned till 10 AM.
