You don’t understand why every GOP senator isn’t a traitor to this Nation?

what a cuckoo bird. the filibuster IS part of the debate. I guess he thinks Harry Reid’s senate is some fantasy gathering of extraordinary gentlemen who are going to engage in honest debate.

he’s really making a fool of himself. does he ever see his scumball democrat friends criticize their own members?

That sums up their arrogance and how far they’ve strayed.

I don’t understand why McCain doesn’t just change over to the Democrat party.
We sure do not need him as a Republican. It’s like trying to win a marathon with a broken leg.

That clown doesn’t ever fit the term RINO anymore. He has moved all the way to the wacko lib category.

12 GOP senators back Rand Paul on gun-control filibuster

… In addition to Paul, Lee, Cruz, Rubio and Moran, the Republican who have signed the second letter are Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Mike Enzi of Wyoming, Jim Risch and Mike Crapo of Idaho, Dan Coats of Indiana and Pat Roberts of Kansas.

“We will oppose the motion to proceed on any legislation that will serve as a vehicle for any additional gun restrictions,” they write.

Wouldn’t this Benedict Arnold have made a great president?

He made a great candidate, the only one they could find who simply couldn't challenge Obama's constitutional qualifications due to his own birth on foreign soil.

Because we don't trust the senate to come to the correct solution for this country.
They are indeed supposed to debate and deliberate but are too often caught up in the crisis du jour and makes LAWS that are no better than what the media mob outside would have them do.

****Reid is planning to bring to the Senate floor this month legislation that would expand background checks,***

The law is not designed to prevent criminals from having guns.

It is designed to be so onerous that law abiding citizens will accidentally break the laws, be declared a felon, and the state can then move in and confiscate all their privately owned (now deemed illegal) guns.

That’s right. And they’ve been compromised in so many ways that it’s harder and harder to even put up a front any longer.
