Rand Paul defies McConnell to defund Planned Parenthood
Washington Examiner ^ | 7/25/15 | Barbara Boland

Posted on 07/25/2015 11:11:47 AM PDT by markomalley

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., announced late Friday that he will "use every Senate rule" to force his Senate colleagues on the record after fellow Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., blocked his amendment to defund Planned Parenthood.

If Paul gets enough senators to sign his petition, he can go around McConnell and force a vote.

"I'm prepared to use every Senate rule at my disposal to force my colleagues on record whether they like it or not," Paul wrote Friday night. "Under Senate rules, if enough Senators are willing to stand with me and sign a petition demanding a vote, there will be no stopping you and me."

"The more I learn about Planned Parenthood's racket, aborting unborn children and then selling off their organs, the more my head spins," he wrote. "I'm not about to let Planned Parenthood off the hook. And I'm not about to let politicians and our media sweep this scandal under the rug."

Good move!

The rest of the Republicans need call for it.

I think Cruz did too.

Oh my gosh, does this mean that Mitch McConnell is just a typical D.C. RINO?

Right now, Rand is shadow boxing. Let’s see if he can deliver a hard punch or take one when committee assignments are in jeopardy.

McConnell evidently supports “Crunchy” baby killing. He would be very welcome in an ISIS training facility.

I kept trying to tell Kentucky Freepers that Allison Grimes would be better than McConnell; That we desperately needed to have that seat taken away from him, and that it did not matter at all who replaced him.

And here is some more evidence that I was exactly right.

Are they really spineless or have they been paid off?
Or on the take?
Just plain crooks

I wish Rand Paul would have opposed McTurtle as vehemently in the last election. Maybe Matt Bevin would be the other Kentucky senator instead of this RAT-RINO.

McConnell needs to be dancing at the end of a rope tied to a lamp post on Capitol Hill.

Yup, Alison Grimes was the lesser evil.

They could have had Senator Matt Bevin instead of Gov. Matt Bevin and we wouldn’t have Harry’s bitch as Majority leader.

Mitch is exposed to be a lying pos. He needs to be removed from his position because of his lies.

I think Mitch McConnell is losing the Senate - sound like a revolt to me, and Mitch is deaf, dumb and blind.

Paul should name the senators who sign his petition and who don’t sign
his petition.
