Rand Paul is not the "one true conservative."

That's his dad.    I kid, I kid.

He did something I like. He's done more than any other R Senator. That filibuster is not negligible. It hasn't happened in years. Threatened, but not actually happened.

I don't think there is such a thing as a "one true conservative." All of them suck. All are just human. Just get the government off my back. Give me a strong military. Give states back the power accorded to them. Stop the taxatation madness.

He's done things I like and he's done things that I hate and is going to do one more thing I hate.

What is happening now is what happened the night of the first debate between Romney and 0bama we were all popping corks and celebrating then a few months later we were all singing the blues.

Fool me once shame on you fool me twice and I won't get fooled again.

Now this is just plain stupid;   :mad:

Graham told reporters that he had planned to vote against Brennan's nomination but now intends to support the nominee because the confirmation fight has become a referendum on the drone program.

I did notice that Paul has Skin's Island all ablaze today.  No less than ten discussions stating he's the devil incarnate.  If nothing else it's funny to watch the DUmmies scurry around.    :lmao:

Breaking: Dick Morris guarantees that Brennan will be resoundingly defeated in a landslide.


Actually, he didn't, but that would have been funny.

He's making a stand today and will vote to confirm tomorrow just like the ones who dined with 0bama will do.

Nothing is going to stop the conformation so why make it in to an issue?

Do you really need to ask that question?

The fact that the conservative hero of the day, voted for 0bama's pick bugs the hell out of me. I could have sworn that we voted for Republicans to try to stop 0bama, not rubber stamp his every move.

Yup.  I was wrong thinking that Mitch McConnell would try to stop him.  When Jay Carney answered Rand Paul's question ("NO!"), Paul apparently felt that he could vote for him.  There is also an attitude among McCain, Graham, and others in the Republican Party that a President should be able to get the picks that he wants.  Too bad that the Dems don't believe in that as well. ::)
