lol, Shelayne...they need some floss!

I can’t believe Linda Graham and McCain haven’t tripped over each other racing to get in front of the cameras.

Sen. Barrasso passes the torch of liberty back to Sen. Paul. Sen. Paul carries it on with good tempo.

(yes, I changed the metaphor. Take me to Metaphor Court and sue me! lol)

Boy, times have changed at FR. A few years ago we would have had oh, 1-3000 posts to this thread and a second thread started. I miss us.

[thouworm]

Just posed the same question to a Freeper (on another thread) who posted that his senator (Oklahoma Sen Coburn) IS at the dinner. Will post here if he has the answer.

Thanks to C-SPAN2!

[RightWingMama]

I was thinking the same thing.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

See post 169. I’m not certain whether he *can* take bathroom break.

Rush suggested bringing in a porta-potty! That would be funny, especially if Rand wore a remote microphone and kept on a talkin'!

[Principled]

So the other senators planned a meal with the evil one... to celebrate the muslim passport washing one’s confirmation.

Go Sen.s Paul, Lee, and Barrasso. Let’s hope for some energy from the base boosting these fine men.

I’m probably on a drone kill list for my vocal support of them.

I don't know what ran Freepers off. Could have been all the downtime, slowness or it could have been the hateful rhetoric that became standard fare during the elections. I notice I don't see much of that anymore. Guess they came in and did their job, got everyone on our side eating our own, then left.

I have hope though we can get this site back to what it was, hope and prayers.

McCain is having dinner with the TOTUS.

posted before I saw your ping; see 351

[Kenny]

Boy, do I regret Toomey! ;-(

[MagUSNRET]

McLame is with Grahamnesty more than he is with his own wife ........coincidence? (I think NOT!!!!!!!!!!)

[Principled]

isn’t FR a microcosm of our country?

[Chickensoup]

it is sad. I was attacked by some jerk recently on a freepmail, and it has made me gunshy. I have been here since 98!

[thouworm]

purpose:

Sequester: Obama to dine with Republican senators (tonight!)

US President Barack Obama has invited a group of Republican senators for dinner in an effort to advance budget negotiations, the White House has said.

Not invited were Republican leaders, with whom Mr Obama's budget talks in recent weeks had stalled.

I’m probably on a drone kill list for my vocal support of them.

Remind me not to go to a cafe with you since that seems to be where these drones like to strike.
