Oh, hey, Rand Paul finally remembered he was in the presidential race. AWESOME!
Yeah whatever, Paul.
Just another show by the right in the Senate. I’ll give it about 2 hours until a vote is taken to end debate.
“We should be using the leverage of the debt ceiling to actually enforce spending restraint.”
Damn right! However, your fellow Republicans do not want to restrain spending in any way ... so you’re kind of on your own.
Sad to say Rand Paul is one of the few in Congress who seem to get it on the financial stuff.
I think Rand Paul will make a big move soon. Not only is his filibuster on the binge spending 20 trillion dollar deficit producing budget WONDERFUL but millions will flock to him over the war in Syria /Iraq /islamic State. Millions don’t want any ground troops there at all!! We tried that and it was for nothing!! The Russians are there killing ISIS right now!! Assad never did anything to the United States. We are not the police of the world and we are BROKE AS HELL. obama sending in ground troop in is madness. Are we going to fight with the Russians or against Russia. Have we lost our collective minds? Rand Paul will now surge. Take that to the bank.
YES!!!
I hope Ted joins him.
Good!
Good to see somebody doing it.
Another instance of “Now that it’s a done deal I shalt protestith much” by a GOP fraud.
Paul can do this yet Rubio can’t even show up to vote?
Good, but that doesn’t mean I’ll vote for him.
Too bad Google says this whole website, every last thread, is infected , at least to users using the Chrome browser on PC’s! (Maybe not all Mac’s?) Free Republic is UNDER SIEGE by the Left Front!
If mild mannered Sen Paul is impulsed to curse over this budget, it must be bad...
The whole Repub critter gang should be filibustering this.
It seems this danger-of-default LIE has been repeated enough such that nearly everyone believes it now.
I’m wondering how he’s going to do this since revenue and budget bills can’t be filibustered.
Perhaps it’s the language he’s filibustering?
Rand Paul should get others to muddle things up in the Senate and protect his Filibuster. KEEP THE CEILING.
