Rand Paul’s Threatened Gun Control Senate Filibuster Completely Flops
Rand Paul’s promised filibuster of expanded background checks flopped today, as Harry Reid’s bill sailed through the cloture vote 68-31.
Quoted Text
Sen. Rand Paul had promised that if Harry Reid brought legislation to the Senate floor that expanded background checks, he and 12 other Republican senators would filibuster it. Majority Leader Harry Reid brought the Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act of 2013 to the floor anyway, and with no filibuster in sight, it passed the cloture vote 68-31.
The two big losers on this vote were the NRA and Rand Paul.
Sen. Paul’s letter to Harry Reid got the right in a tizzy when he, Ted Cruz, and Mike Lee, wrote, “We will oppose the motion to proceed to any legislation that will serve as a vehicle for any additional gun restrictions.” Paul’s filibuster threat turned out to be more empty positioning for his 2016 presidential campaign.

I think boxy has a little man crush on Rand Paul. He's obsessing about him. For a guy that is irrelevant, he spends an awful lot of time following his every move. Stalker like.

"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."
When ever I read any Ron/Rand Paul post on this board, it reminds me of that poor old Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner cartoons.
The Paul Groupies post: "He's Gonna Win"! Like the Coyote, the Groupies don't see what is obvious to the rest of us... That the Paul duo preform, and they truly believe their performance, but the end result is always the same... Wile gets slammed by a bus, and the RoadRunner "Beep Beep" runs away laughing!
Kinda makes ya feel a little sad for Wile... for all their effort and enthusiasm, Wile, Rand & Ron are all doomed to failure! No matter how many times they go off the cliff and crash to the bottom of the canyon... they persist and try try and try yet again!

Nah I see you and the media attacking him already because you fear him, sure you will probably type LMAO or post some laughing face but admit it you constantly feel the need to go after him. Why is it someone you constantly say is irrelevant you feel the need to continue to target, yeah that's what I thought

I didn't say that Me&MiniMe aren't entertaining... it's like listening to a drunk at a bar... You never know what will come out of their mouths.
Some politicians are dumb and dull... The Paul duo are not dull.
See what I mean. Loony bin crazy, but not dull!
Offensive and not too smart, but, like watching a train wreck... ya just can't look away!

Yeah, they are disproportionately criminals because drug prohibition laws make them criminals and they don't have the means to defend themselves. Just the way you like it.

Cic, Like Daddy Paul, also thinks that 95% of DC's black males are criminals...
I was last in DC a year and a half ago. Like most big cities there is crime, there is drugs, etc etc etc.
I was walking at 5:45AM a few blocks from my hotel to a coffee shop. I saw lots of Ron Paul's "black males" standing around on the corner... WAITING FOR A BUS TO TAKE THEM TO WORK. I don't know what percentage of the black male population they comprised but the busses were full.

When Box is in a corner he brings up the race crap again lol. What he fails to mention is that Ron Paul has been saying for years that BECAUSE of the drug war there are TOO many young black men in prison for NON violent crimes.

I brought up RACE???
Randy Paul went to Howard BECAUSE it was a black school. He went there to try to draw minorities into the Republican party... what he accomplished is to drive them further away.
Paul presumed to know more about the subject of civil rights than the students.

In one of the most awkward moments of the talk, Paul asked the audience if anyone knew that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) had been founded by Republicans. The audience responded with a resounding “yes!”
