Brennan confirmed 63 to 34
I don’t know. All I know is that the only true Tea Party senator who got all three votes right was Cruz.
Maybe his inner Hillary told him it wouldn't make any difference. I am curious if he'd made a statement for his Yes vote, yet. I know Paul came out pretty quick after the Hagel vote with an excuse, er, reason for his vote.
Has anyone heard a good reason from Rubio, yet?
No Nation will survive that have over 50% of their voters voting for bastards like obama.
Both Rand Paul and Ted Cruz voted Yea on Cloture of the Brennan debate. Sixteen Republicans voted Nay, including Jim Inhofe.
Screw this prick. I am so po’ed congress laying down with such creeps and evil vermin.
Ted Cruz looks like the only one that is conservative down the line.
At least Paul voted no for Brennan, but he voted yes for Hagel.
Love me some Ted Cruz! :)

Sigh... two of the most worthless POSs ever to “represent” Virginia.
Sorry, America... I wish the Old Dominion had done better. ]:-(
NO NO NO!
They will all move out of the way for the biggest left wing, elite/establishment, RINO not in the senate, JEB! Bush. After all, he comes from the royal family which has already produced two “winning” presidents. You can’t get any more elite than that if you’re looking to “WIN.”
Hot damn, we are rolling now aint we?
Remember, it's all about "more flexibility after the election"...
WAIT a minute. Rand Paul voted for Hegel and you are crucifying Marco Rubio for this.
Look, I want those Dems out of the White House. I want control of Congress. I want to flush the RINOs out of the GOP - REAL RINOS like McCain, Graham, Boehner and McConnell.
I’ll support Paul. I’ll support Cruz, I’ll support Rubio. I don’t care. They are all good.
But a word of warning. Last time we got stuck with a RINO ringer because conservatives split their votes on too many good conservative candidates in the primaries. Romney never carried more than two states with a majority of GOP primary votes until the others were forced out of the running. The CONSERVATIVE candidates got the majority of votes in the state primaries - Bachmann, Gingrich, Cain, and Santorum.
We can’t do the same thing AGAIN, or once AGAIN we will be running Demcorat Lite against Democrat HEAVY and Lite always loses because Conservatives won’t support them and all the Bolsheviks vote for the REAL Marxist.
Several of us on this thread are wondering the exact same thing that you're wondering. Not crucifying Rubio, just scratching our heads about his Brennan vote - especially after participating in Paul's filibuster.
I still cannot find anything from Rubio about this. Again, not crucifying, just wondering what brought about his yes vote.
What really gets me is when (many) Senators seem to "cover" each others votes (before upcoming elections, etc.) - when they know they have enough votes to pass/not pass something. They give each other passes, it seems. (Again...not talking about/crucifying Rubio specifically :)
They voted like the demonic-rats they are. It’s not your fault that rats are moving into your state.
You bring up an interesting question: Can “The Rube” beat one of the Bushes?
Ah, what a scene as the Left-Wing GOP Elite Pigs squeal at each other around the feet of the GOP Elephant Herd.
Will the numerous Political Cliffs do in the Left-Wing GOP Elite Pigs along the trail of the 2014 National Roundup?
Will the main herd of the GOP Elephants be refreshed by each Constitutional Filibuster Oasis along the trail?
Will Ultra Left-Wing McCain continue to energize the TEA-Sippers who ride herd on the most energetic of the GOP Elephants?
Yes indeedy! The 2014 National Roundup has begun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry about the first paragraph.
Its the Fourth and Fifth that are MOST important.
Even a rat learns from mistakes and we must learn from the errors of 2012. Never again should the majority of conservatives in the Republican Party be forced to “settle for” another third rate RINO with a lot of money in the bank to back him.
And when I hear Romney making noises about running again or another idiot Bush popping out of the bushes, or Chris Christie making noises about running, I really get nervous.
We need to recognize no one is perfect, judge people on their overall record, not just a few votes, coalesce behind ONE conservative candidate, and fight like hell and ignore any attempts by the RINOs, the LEftists or the Democrats to demonize him/her over trivial issues which would hardly raise a hackle in the Democrat Pack.
A political party which runs a racist Muslim apologist for President and wins, and who invites a serial sexual predator they successfully ran for President TWICE to speak at their conventions, is HARDLY the party to set standards of behavior for ANYONE.
Surprised Lautenberg didn’t vote.
They couldn’t get someone to move his hand for him?
I wouldn't count on it.
Oh well.
There is going to be WWIII anyway.
I hope that none of you were investing anything in this world because it is toast...oh and be sure to tell your children that you love them...because in a few years they will be tied to a post, raped, stabbed, or shot into a ditch. Unless your family is lucky enough to be within range of the nuclear strikes.
