Discussion: Paul Commandeers Senate Floor to Speak Against Patriot Act

Discussion for article #236605

It’s a good move by Randy. It plays to all of his father’s nut job faithful.

Showboating and nothing more.

It also plays to us liberals (known at this site as “Firebaggers”). I wouldn’t vote for a Paul, and, generally, think their protoplasm should be recycled, but he’s in the right vicinity on this one thing.

This, and the “war” on (some) drugs. So he’s a twelve-hour stopped clock. Briefly right, twice a day. Wrong the rest of the time. This sets him apart from, say, Ted Cruz, who is wrong about absolutely everything all of the time.

What’s funny is I hear liberals here and on other liberal sites, claiming how they hate the Iraq War, they hate our sending billions to Israel, they hate TPP authority, they hate the Patriot Act, the hate the illegal surveillance, they hate the marijuana being illegal, etc… yet they are going to vote for the biggest corporate stooge and 1% in the entire race, Hillary, and call the only candidate besides Sen Sanders who agree with them all these issues protoplasm who should be recycled.

I guess when it really counts the only thing that matters is whether or not a (D) follows their name on the ballot.

I guess you don’t listen to all the stupid shit Rand drones on about?

Well, that’s ok then. I plan on voting for the candidate who will vote for the most liberal SCJ’s and that ain’t Rand Fucking Paul.

Well, also whether social security, the Voting Rights Act, access to reproductive health care, access to affordable health insurance, etc. continue to exist. Many of us take those things pretty damned seriously. Also, Hilary’s rather bright; Paul, not terribly. When the shit hits the fan that counts for a lot.

Besides, Walker or Rubio (or possibly JEB) will be the GOP nominee. Not Paul.

Oh, shucks. You’re on to us. I just don’t see how anybody was clever enough to figure that all out.

But you’re right: it’s really funny.

Good on the little twit! At least he’s good for something which is more than I can say for the rest of the GOP clown car posse.

After the last 6 years of Republican modeling the word “hate”… your using it against liberals/democrats is the height of ludicrous. While I’m not a pure (D) more a true independent, I can state without qualm that “hate” is far, far, FAR more appropriate to be used with all that is the current Republican party and the right news propaganda media.

Seriously?

As opposed to Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Donald Trump, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, John Kasich, Lindsey Graham, Bobby Jindal, Carly Fiorina, and George Pataki?

That’s the Holy Grail of corporatists, stooges, and one-percenters. Even if she wanted to, Hillary couldn’t rise sink to that level of pandering turd in a hundred election cycles.

Really, you need to stop phoning it in. I weep for the sad state of trolling in America today.

Even Republican Wall Streeter’s prefer Clinton, let alone Democratic ones.

It’s going to be talking for an extended period of time.

Dimmed with feint paraphrase…

What a stunningly stupid and illiterate comment.

It’s an interesting coincidence that the tab on my browser reads "Discussion: Paul Conman . . . "

It actually reads, "Discussion: Paul Comman . . . " but Conman seemed to make so much more sense.

Gee, you wouldn’t want to contradict a Politico “think piece.”

At least he didn’t pull out a book and start rhyming –

And tomorrow he’ll be speaking against squeezing kittens too hard.
Not a difficult thing to be against. You know—like the Patriot Act.

You’re easily amused.

Part of my point is that this is not a liberal site.
(Partial disclosure: I’ve already donated to Sanders’ campaign. I’ll probably vote for Clinton, who is not what I want in a President, but who, like Obama, is 1000 times better than any Republican.)
I suspect that you’re more than “justamarine”, you’re one of those who took well to following orders, so you never learned critical thinking. This is based upon my long-suffering reading of your previous posts. (I generally ignore them, these days, unless they’re on a thread I join.)
