    Thanks, Drudge!

    Drudge has been majorly supporting Rand today with his tweets!

    He just shared a new live Youtube link which I have been looking for all day!

    Some notes on the what and why, based on some things Rand has said:

    - he would let the Patriot Act expire, but acknowledges this is not likely to happen without 41 votes
    - the typical strategy for getting unpopular legislation passed is to keep it off the floor until the last moment, then using alarmist tactics to push for votes from Senators who haven't even read the text.
    - because of the rush to get it passed, there is no time for discussing amendments
    - sometimes, Senators will vote for a bill, but later will take it apart.
    - Rand wants to get leadership to allow amendments on the floor, this is why he is filibustering

    a couple possible amendments:
    - no generalized warrants (must have a person's name and not "verizon")
    - something to prevent using foreign intercepts as a pretext to capture US citizens' commiunications.

    Yea Brannon losing stings to this day, hope he runs for some office again in the future. Besides that, Rand needs some more support here today just so he can take a break. Can tell he is a bit tired, thankfully Wyden should be back shortly. Hopefully when Wyden comes back he takes up a good portion of time so Rand can recharge a bit.

    THE SQUAD of RPF
    1. enhanced_deficit - Paid Troll / John Bolton book promoter
    2. Devil21 - LARPing Wizard, fake magical script reader
    3. Firestarter - Tax Troll; anti-tax = "criminal behavior"
    4. TheCount - Comet Pizza Pedo Denier <-- sick

    @Ehanced_Deficit's real agenda on RPF =troll:

    Who spends this much time copy/pasting the same recycled links, photos/talking points.

    7 yrs/25k posts later RPF'ers still respond to this troll

    Probably. I guess he isn't drinking because he doesn't want to have to pee, so he is sucking on candies to keep his mouth from drying off.

    He's been sipping from that glass of water in front of him every now and then. About half of it in about the 3 hours.

    Go Rand!

    What Rand is doing is so noble. I'm really proud of my candidate too.

    H. L. Mencken said it best:


    “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”


    "As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
