According to the Post report, Paul has a few senators willing to join him in slowing down the process – not among them his fellow 2016er Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who called the deal “slap in the face to conservatives.”

“a must-have for my wife’s employer, Goldman Sachs.”

So he wants to delay the vote until after defaulting on the debt… then lose the vote. Brilliant.

Did I miss the cool new trend of concocting deliberately ungrammatical headlines?

Rand Paul becomes more impotent by the day. If he doesn’t wise up, he’ll lose his Senate seat as well.

He’s like a monkey flinging poo. Why? Because its his nature…

Poodlehead’s one hour showboating (which is not really a filibuster) will more likely point to why he’s such a failure as a Senator and a Presidential candidate.

It is a “slap in the face” to “conservatives” like Ted Cruz. Of course, for the good of America, they deserve to be kicked in the nuts very very hard, probably repeatedly. So it doesn’t go far enough. But one takes what one can get.

"According to the Post report, Paul has a few senators willing to join him in slowing down the process – not among them his fellow 2016er Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) . . . "

Wait, really? Is Cruz going mushy on us? There is so much information to be put before the American public: there’s “The Lorax” which Cruz could read; “Horton Hatches the Egg”; “And to Think that I saw it on Mulberry Street” was a personal favorite when I was five or so; and in this since season “The Grinch”.

It looks as though Cruz just doesn’t care as much anymore.

 "It is horrible, it's hard for me not to use profanity describing it."

Poor guy is holding back — How stressful ! –

Go ahead Rand, let it out — You’ll feel so much better after —

Throw little boy randy in a room with Hasert. Danny boy must be in severe withdrawl by now and randy would be ate up like candy. lol

“Republicans approached the recent fiscal negotiations with several goals," McConnell said from the Senate floor Wednesday, pointing to the deal’s increase in defense spending and changes to entitlement programs.

The universal claim tossed out to backbenchers is always "The bill might suck, BUT THERE'S MORE MONEY FOR GUNS!!! Oh, and somehow, somewhere, a poor, sick person will suffer at least a little more than they do already! See, it's a good bill!"

Another Republican saying “Vote for me, because I will do more damage to the country than those other Republicans who promise to damage the country.”

He steals real quotes from people (plague rizes), manufactures false quotes from real people, sets up his own National Board because the other one which works for almost everyone else, doesn’t work for him. Why wouldn’t he be disingenuous on this issue as well?

Not even Democrats don’t get off their butts and find a decent candidate to run against him.

It baffles me, how they had so many names being dropped in 2013 up there, and now, with a much more vulnerable Paul to run against…its all crickets.
