A long time in the making and a job well done by Rand in his first speech on the Senate floor. Enjoy!

It was a lot shorter than I thought it would be.

That was great how he handled the "your too principled" issue.

Wow, great speech. He comes off as intelligent, thoughtful, principled. This is in stark contrast to the caricature that the media tries to portray him as... extreme, wacky, thoughtless, even violent... If he is the face of the Tea Party, I'd say the Tea Party's best days lie ahead.

That was excellent. Rand Paul Rocks!

Excellent speech. Per usual.

I just watched Rand Paul's first speech on the Senate floor. It was delivered well and with a great message. (Compromise is not necessarily a virtue) However, an educated southern man like Rand knows full well that Cassius Clay is not a character in history to be celebrated.

We should forgive the reference because of its strategic brilliance. Namely that by using Cassius Clay as an example he provided a character that both parties are obligated to worship and therefore cannot disagree with Paul's point. (Dems have to worship Clay because he was a extreme leftist; Republicans because he was a founding member of the party who 100% represents the ideals of the GOP)

In effect he used the establishment GOP and Democrats own twisted ideology against them. Mischievous and BRILLIANT!

I like Bob Dylan and all, but why is he making a speech about a Bob Dylan song? http://s0.ilike.com/play#Bob+Dylan:I...77640:m1794657 weird - maybe this was a big mistake?
