So will Republicans still consider Rand Paul after this?

    Let's see he um, CAUGHT BIN LADEN for one...
    He personally caught them? um, I thought it was the Navy Seals, although he never gave any credit to them directly other than saying the servicemen, he gave a lot of credit to himself
    Created more private sector jobs in 2010 than during entire Bush years
    I'm calling Bullshit, unemployment insurance is still at 7.3, actual numbers are a lot higher
    Cut prescription drug cost for medicare recipients by 50%
    I'm not on medicare
    Appointed more openly gay officials than any other president in US history
    Gays are more open now, but then Barry was against Gay Marriage in the beginning. I'm not gay, so it has nothing to do with me
    Eliminated subsidies to private lender middlemen of student loans and protect student borrowers
    I'm not a student
    Increased funding for national parks and forests by 10%
    That's bullshit, I know for a fact that more and more national forests and parks are being privatized
    Significantly expanded Pell grants, which help low-income students pay for college
    Not a student
    Gave more money to companies involved in private space flight programs, helping companies like SpaceX and Virgin Galactic.
    And NASA is what?

    Signed financial reform law establishing a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to look out for the interests of everyday Americans
    Did they look, what did they find? They didn't protect us from the lies of Barry about Obamacare!
    Signed financial reform law requiring lenders to verify applicants' credit history, income, and employment status
    Every time I have ever applied for credit, they looked at those things

    Signed financial reform law prohibiting banks from engaging in proprietary trading (trading the bank's own money to turn a profit, often in conflict with their customers' interests)
    And because of the 85 billion a month they are printing up of new money, they are recording record profits, just like before the housing bubble popped
    Signed financial reform law allowing shareholders of publicly traded companies to vote on executive pay
    So those with the most shares get the most votes? Perfect!

    Reversed 'global gag rule', allowing US aid to go to organizations regardless of whether they provide abortions
    No effect for me
    Signed New START Treaty - nuclear arms reduction pact with Russia
    Yeah, Russia got everythiing they asked for, we lost big time

    Signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, restoring basic protections against pay discrimination for women and other workers
    Again, no effect on me
    Provided travel expenses to families of fallen soldiers to be on hand when the body arrives at Dover AFB (PRETTY FUCKING COOL)
    Cool, yes, but no effect on me, even if my daughter was still in, I would fly there before any approval
    Reversed the policy of barring media coverage during the return of fallen soldiers to Dover Air Force Base. (And who put this law in in the first place? That Son of a bitch DUBYA).
    Sorry, I don't think it's right for the news to show soldiers caskets. They deserve more respect than to be used for political gain
    Issued executive order to repeal Bush era restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research (Why did Bush put this in place in the first place? Because he bent-over and took it up the ass by the Christian fucktards which he is still doing today btw)
    Still doesn't effect me, although I think we should have had it all along. I have a friend that gets it, but he can't get his funds into the US right now because of rules that Barry out in place
    and on and on and on.... You really need to stop complaining about this president of yours and help him out. Stop listening to Fox & Friends and get people you know to stop tuning it to fat fucks like Rush Limbaugh. By all means still read, watch and listen with a critical ear, but stop believing all the shit from the far right. They are insane.

    I think you're naive.

    NSA is spying on Canadians
    IRS is targeting what the democratic party is telling them to target
    We were lied to by the president about Obamacare about keeping our policies, almost 5 million people are losing their policies, which means they will lose their doctors as well.
    The FDA is down in Mexico showing Mexican Nationals how to use US food Stamps.
    Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
    think about that

      Yes, of course they'll still consider him after this. They'll consider him right up to the point where he is caught having sex with a male intern, which may or may not ever happen or come out. I'm just saying up to what point I think they'll still consider him.

      I think he'll be yesterday's news though by the time it rolls around. Like what's his name who read Dr. Seuss books while shutting down the government for no reason.

        **********, let me sum up politics in the United States for you.

        The more an American pays in taxes, the greater the likelihood of him feeling he should have influence over how the government should operate. Call it Entitlement.

        This American is prone to anger when government funds are used to raise the quality life for people who pay less taxes than him. Keep in mind, the rage is proportional to how much tax is paid.

        Everything will be fine when he makes enough money to lobby that rage into submission.

        Until then, everything is not fine.

        Fortunately, the Internet now allows him to release his rage by assassinating the character of those politicians he disagrees with.

        Unfortunately for him, as evidenced in the last 3 presidential elections, the politician on the receiving end of the most character assassination usually wins.

        It's the reason why Kerry and Edwards were barely defeated even when Bush was so disliked. They stood for nothing.

        It's the reason why McCain and Palin got their asses handed to them. Their entire campaign was nothing but character assassination.

        It's the reason why Obama got relected. Romney and Ryan and the rest of the GOP served up nothing but visions of Armageddon.

        But the American never learns, always convinced that his rantings and ravings are changing minds instead of reinforcing them.

        THE END
        .
        Approach the mirrored reflection saying his name three times : "Butcher .... Butcher .... Butcher ....."
        and wait to see if this Bogeyman urban legend manifests in the background, looming over shoulder
        While your neighbors were busy killing off everyone in the neighborhood
        with your own butcher knife in hand concealed behind your back
        you stood for
        ever before the window saying
        nothing

          Are your stances on everything based on a narcissistic world view, that says if something doesn't affect you, then it doesn't matter or shouldn't exist? I have great healthcare that I'll be keeping, but that doesn't mean I think no one else should have a shot at it. I'm not gay, but I'll cheer them on in their fight for equal rights. I'm no longer a student, but I don't think it helps the country in any way if students are deep in debt because college costs are so astronomical.

            I gave a question that couldn't be answered.

            I'm not Narcissistic, If I were, why would I care to speak up?

            I never said people shouldn't get healthcare, but I have said several times that Obamacare has problems, considering that no republicans voted for it and the head democratic said we'll see what's in it after we vote for it. A good law would have more support, or do you disagree with that? Or you think that telling the American people lies to get it passed is OK?

            People can go to a community college that's not that expensive, then get loans and grants for the last two years at a university. That's how my daughter is doing it and is about to graduate. She has held a job the entire time. And she's going to a very good university.

            You just want me to stop telling you that you are wrong!
