I'm glad I'm not the only one not guzzling the Paul flavored koolaid.
Hi5
It's not Paul-flavored koolaid, at least not in my case. I just think it's refreshing to see a politician take a principled stand.
The thing that distinguishes conservatives from DUmmies and Paulbots, IMHO, is the idea that we KNOW our leaders are flawed. We're not looking for a savior or messiah, we're looking for the government to stay out of our way and have the least amount of direct influence in our daily lives as possible.
Nobody on this board, for example, voted for Romney because he was the elusive "perfect" candidate. We voted for him because he was the best alternative.
Similarly, I'm under no illusions about Rand Paul. I just appreciate when Senators do their part.
Shit, who stood up and voted down Geitner or Holder? Not the point. I guess I was just happy to see somebody actually DO a filibuster over something they think is important rather than just threaten one.
