“Which means for all of them who voted for the extension that an another issue in a primary exists against them.”

Given that Ted Cruz seems to support an extension, does that mean he’ll get a primary opponent?

And they didn't. And they won't. We are a fascist police state, and I'm not sure we ever were anything but.
DMn right Laz. I thinknthis has been proven rather conclusively over the past few years.

Of course its going to pass. Junior started his speech by saying it would. He’s just trying to throw a spanner in the works. Good on him, but in the end the quisling caucus will pass it.

When push comes to shove, they’re all bought and paid for. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be allowed on the ballot.

I tell you the way the GOP-E elite leadership in the Senate is frothing in their depends, I can’t help but appreciate Rand Paul just a bit more, today.

Now that doesn’t mean it’s permanent or he can’t blow it on something again, of course, but this moment, yeah, he’s doing real good.

I haven’t had much use for junior. Credit where credit is due, though. Sometimes people just wake up one morning with a clue. We’ll see how long he keeps it.

I think we all have an asterisk or stated caveat when we have occasion to praise Rand Paul. today he did good. Let’s hope it’s not blown in the next week.

Maybe with a little feat of fate, McInsane will dream about this tonight and stroke out.

Cornyn has turned into a great little beltway Toadie...

Nice to contemplate. I’d rather he have that happen during his 2016 concession speech so the bitter gall taste of losing is fresh in his mouth.

I concede I may not be as nice as you are in your scenario. :)
