Rand Paul responds to
Lindsey Graham´s comment
on ´ridiculous´ filibuster

Washington Examiner, by Michal Conger

Original Article

Posted By:Fiesta del sol, 3/7/2013 11:44:15 AM

Rand Paul responded this morning to Sen. Lindsey Graham’s comment that Paul’s filibuster of CIA nominee John Brennan’s confirmation was “ridiculous.” Graham said yesterday, “The drone program he [Obama] has utilized overseas, I think has made us safer. This idea that we’re going to use a drone to attack an American citizen in a cafe in America is ridiculous, and I think the American people need to understand the threat we face.” On Glenn Beck’s radio show today, Rand replied, “I agree it’s ridiculous, but then why didn’t the president say he won’t?”

Comments:
And Lindsey said this after he organized and broke bread with President Drone Strike.

Lady Lindsay talks tough and then rolls over with his BFF John McCain.
Rand, Cruz, Thune, Toomey, Rubio et al are the future of the Republican Party.
Brennan is as dangerous as foreign agent Obama/Dunham/Soetero.
Who gave the order to stand down at Benghazi?
What do they have on Lindsay?

Bill Clinton´s AG, Janet Reno, barbequed nealy 80 innocent people, including women and children, at Waco.. And when Charlie Rangel admonished her for her actions (she used U.S. army tanks and flammable tear gas the tanks were provdided by general wesley clark) Reno said that no one felt worse than she did.
Is there any doubt that reno would have used a drone, if one had been available?
Is there any doubt that AG Holder would use a drone to whack an American with a drone, on American soil?
And wouldn´t that shut down the critics of President Pothead? (Caligula would kill 10% of his troops each year to maintain power, keeping the other 90% frozen with fear. Thus the word decimate.)

FTA:Paul explained that the president saying he doesn’t “intend” to use a drone on an American citizen on American soil isn’t sufficient.

“I want to take him at his word, but intent is not really what I’m looking for,” Paul said.

As it is said, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".

Graham and McCain are being played like a fiddle again. Obama knows these two along with the others he invited to dinner are losers who just need a little stroke to fall back in line. This isn´t the first time they have been played and it won´t be the last. Let´s get behind rand Paul and those who participated in the filibuster.

Obama ordered a drone kill on an American citizen in Yemen. Hours later, in a completely different area of Yemen, obama ordered a hit on the teenaged son of the first target. Unlike the father, the son had no history of terrorist activities. Sort of a twofer that obama decided to take.
I enjoyed Sen. Paul´s filibuster and questions. I enjoyed Sen. Cruz. Felt proud of them.

C´mon Rand, why do you refuse to take Emperor Zippy at his word? After all, he did say "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it!". And lets not forget that he said the "Affordable Health Care Plan" (What a laughable title) would not add one thin dime to our dept! And he said that he did "Everything possible" to help the Americans trapped in the Benghazi Consulate. And then finally he pointed out how the world would end if the sequester went through. Oh wait, I think I just answered my own question.

Were McCain and Graham necking with Barry in the back seat of his limo before they finally called it a night?

Is it any wonder that John McCain lost the presidential election; the man has long ago lost half of his brain cells. He is either the most self righteous man or just stupid. And Lindsey Graham just trots along side him bobbing his head in agreement. Two wasted Republican senators, but I didn´t vote for either of them.

President Obama´s decision last year to allow young people living in the U.S. illegally to stay and work marked the biggest shift in immigration policy in decades, hailed as a landmark step toward the American dream for a generation of immigrants. But months later, many immigrants are having vastly different reactions to the change depending on where they live, and they aren´t flocking to the program at the levels the government originally expected. A handful of Republican-led states are blocking basic benefits for those in the program, denying beneficiaries identification cards, driver´s licenses,

On Easter Sunday, Google is honoring the birthday of the late labor organizer Cesar Chavez by placing a Chavez portrait within the middle “o” of the Google logo that appears on the homepage of the popular search engine. While Google frequently decorates its logo to celebrate various holidays and special events, it is unclear why the company chose specifically to honor Chavez’s birthday, instead of Easter Sunday. Chavez co-founded the organization now known as the United Farm Workers union (UFW). He became an iconic figure in the labor movement, with his stature only increasing since his death

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
