"Yesterday, Sen. Rand Paul said, "“I rise today to begin to filibuster John Brennan’s nomination for the CIA. I will speak until I can no longer speak. I will speak as long as it takes, until the alarm is sounded from coast to coast that our Constitution is important….” He thus launched a filibuster against Pres. Obama's nominee for CIA director. In doing so, Sen. Paul proved Dick Cheney's prediction right: Rand Paul is not Dick Cheney's kind of Republican senator." -- Kevin Gutzman 07 Mar 13

Yep, I'm sure it pisses folks like Chris Rossini off to no end, to see Americans like Rand Paul take a stand that most Americans agree with.....Like I said, with the exception of Chris Rossini, John McCain and Lindsey Graham.--

- The Neocon Points That Rand Adhered To
- By, Chris Rossini
- Earlier today, Bob Wenzel asked the following:
- And make no mistake, if neocon Jennifer Rubin and the rest of the crowd were cheering on the filibuster, via tweets during the first hour of the speakathon, that calls were made in advance that Rand could be trusted.
- Otherwise, how could Rubin be so cocksure early on in the filibuster that Rand wouldn't say something objectionable to neocons in, say, hour five? Rand came through, nuff said.
- Later today Rubin gave us the checklist that garnered her approval (my emphasis):
- Paul was clever to pick an issue, a specific and narrow issue, on which virtually no one can disagree. He wasn’t attacking the war on terror. He wasn’t attacking drone use overseas. He surely wasn’t attacking indefinite detention at Guantanamo for enemy combatants. He was objecting to the refusal of the administration to say whether it is constitutional to use drones on U.S. soil against U.S. citizens who are not combatants.
- Bob was on the money.
- And Rand was able to get onto the Lincoln adorning Glenn Beck show as well as Rush Limbaugh.
