  We don't need the sequester to cut $85 billion from the budget.........

  It can't be undone at this point. It is the iceberg we hit in the North Atlantic and it will consume us right before our very eyes. At least we proved we aren't racists.

  Surprise surprise; Boomers anally raping young people AGAIN and then blaming it all on their parents. "We didn't start the fire, we just continue it" :laugh:
  
  FUCK THE BOOMERS.

  sleeper....if younger people are taking it anally, consider it their way of masturbation.
  
  young people overwhelming voted for Obama and his henchmen....AGAIN in 2012, after sweeping him to power in 2008.

  Older voters went for Romney, and the younger the voter, the more likely they were to vote for Obama. Voters 40 and over favored Romney, and those 39 and under favored Obama

  You are assuming young people have spent their whole lives accruing knowledge. Most young people are more focused on getting an education and have not yet been subjected to reality. Boomers have been for at least 20-30 years and don't do anything because they will get out of this mess scott free while young people suffer.
  
  Also this fillibuster is still going on and is quite hilarious.

  I still don't love his endorsement this past election ... but since then, he's said and done a lot to make me think he's more like his dad than I'd thought.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  Another thing that was clear tonight is compared to Rand Paul and Ted Cruz, you can see what an intellectual lightweight Rubio is. That's the guy who is going to get the media push and backing of the national GOP in 2016 and he is barely literate. Hopefully the voters are smart enough to see the difference between him and Rand.

  I hated the endorsement too, as well as many other things he has said, but he is the last shot at liberty in this country, so I will back him unless he gets ridiculous.

  Yeah, I kind of see him the same way as I see Gary Johnson. I took plenty issue with some of Gary's platforms, but on the whole, he's certainly a proponent of a free people.

  Talk about a waste of time. I love the hypocrites and people who fear technology. Pretty sure people like him imagine drones like the one in that shitty jessica beil movie. I bet he was complaining when fighter jets were scrambled after 9/11. Would be nice if him and his buddies spent this time on trying to fix the budget than some moot issue like this.

  I wish we could filibuster their paychecks,

  So it's a fear of technology he's fighting against? Gotcha. Thanks.

  The question is a simple one....should any bureau, person or agency of the government be allowed with premeditation to execute an American citizen on American soil without due process.

  Apparently, he wants the ability to kill for no reason. And he's a cop. That's scary shit.

  Although I think that many of Rant Paul's pet peves misoginistic and theologically derived, I thought that is 13-1/2 hour fillibuster was a refreshing throwback to the old days when if you wanted to hold up a bill, you had to ACTUALLY had to stand up, identify yourself , and publicly state your opinion on the issue at hand. Then if you wanted, start reading a telephone book to kill some time.
  
  13-1/2 hours is a long time to go through what he was speaking about. However, He was done talking about his issue with the nominee in about 4 minutes. The rest of his diatribe was just filler.
  
  That being said, I for one think that the use of drones ON ANYONE to be unlawfull. Whele there is some awsome technology available, the margin of error on any persons life is to great to use airstrike to kill a human being.
  
  Every one seems to be hung up on this Drone assasination of US citizens. Espionage and targeted assasination have been going on since we have been a country. Anyone thinking the contrary is fooling themselves. I for one think that if you want to target an individual and are close enough to kill them with conventional means, that you are close enogh to arrest them. Unfortunately, many of these types of targets know too much information, and I would guess that the normal course of action is to try and debrief them, subect them to "enhanced interogation" and then kill them.

  That's how he was trained, so don't blame him completely.

  I have no idea what having a right to a trial has to do with misogyny or theology, but I pretty much agree with everything else you said. The filibuster was never about Brennan. It was about the fact that the president wouldn't clarify what authority he believes he has when it comes to taking our lives. Rand has been asking for a month after a memo was leaked that claimed the authority to kill us without due process. He never got a response.

  Really sad that Rand ended it after 13 hours. I love that he did this though. I think it should be required that if a party wants to filibuster that they have to do it the old fashioned way.
• sleeper

  

  I also thought it was hilarious; they all kept asking the same questions and reading the same letter over and over again.

  LOL. Is this guy for real? The Constitutionality of drones killing American civilians on American soil is not a moot issue. Jesus christ. I'm terrified that you're a cop. Seriously.
