Rand Paul starts filibuster to block Patriot Act

[RenoChazz]

Just started, live on CSPAN 2. Says he gonna speak and debate until he can't speak. His last filibuster went 13 hours.

 

[RenoChazz]

Rand's refusal to yield the floor enters third hour. StandwithRand is now trending.

 

[michael777]

Rand is solid

 

[The Guesser]

That's the Rand I can support. Not the one who backtracks on keeping America out of wars.

 

[DNoonan]

dude has an outside chance of earning my vote today....

 

[LoCalDallasGuy]

:toast: Probably getting my vote.

 

[loomis41973]

[HarryCaray]

[akphidelt]

Send him and his psycho dad to Russia to live with Snowden.

Yeah right after Rand Paul Gilligan's Island reruns

 

[RenoChazz]

Send him and his psycho dad to Russia to live with Snowden.

Or we could all move to North Korea, where bulk spying on citizens is a national pastime. LOL the funny thing is that he's getting more support from your party than his own on this issue.

 

[RenoChazz]

7 hours an still going.

i am independent but would strongly consider voting for Rand based on him taking a stand on this. my biggest issues with the repubs more broadly is around social/personal freedoms and inserting religion into everything....i basically have voted based on social issues in the past even though i agree with the repubs on many economic items....obama was a let down for me so my vote is wide open this time around....taking a fresh look so to speak

 

[AlwayzRight]

Rand is fvcking $

Ha, yea, libertarians always have reminded me more of the far left when it comes to social issues. Only thing they share with righties is their hatred for govt. I'm all for making criminals lives harder even if that means someone is tracking my google searches of who I'm calling. Otherwise, Rand has surprised me, he's gotten pretty normal in a short amount of time. We need to be like NK when it comes to education and start beating kids for not understanding math.

There are dozens of more important issues to take a stand on but this one is most buzz worthy.

I will vote for whoever promises to get rid of obamacare.

I promise to get rid of Obamacare.

But I'm not running, just don't qualify fot Obamacare

I agree. Its more buzz worthy though, because 80% of the public back him on this, while only 10% of congress back him on it.

Hardly anyone who WORKS for a living does qualify....we just pay for the rest.
