I feel like I should return my check to the people b/c we don't do anything here

Rand Paul: "I have to sneak onto the floor of the House to get a vote on anything. They don't want a debate about Libya. They don't want a debate about anything. I feel like I should return my check to the people b/c we don't do anything up here."

"They weren't too happy with me because I used parliamentary powers to gain access to the floor. They don't want to allow any access, or any debate."

As the 60 day mark on the Libyan War passes, the president either needs to gain congressional approval, or withdraw troops over the next 30 days.

This is not a War.......It is a kinetic Military action.



WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Looks like he finally decided to do something about it. Rand is holding the floor and won't let go.

Harry Reid Routes Around Rand Paul; Says No Changes To Patriot Act Is 'An Excellent Compromise' (http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110524/19471114419/harry-reid-routes-around-rand-paul-says-no-changes-to-patriot-act-is-excellent-compromise.shtml)


Sen. Reid basically killed his current bill and and opted to take up a House small business bill (it's in a form that's considered filibuster-proof as far as starting debate goes). Neither Rand Paul nor anyone else can object to this. Reid then amended the House bill with the entire text of the Patriot Act extension.

Reid is a traitorous faggot.
