Paul knocks Rubio: ‘I’ve made 99% of the votes’

“I will filibuster the new debt ceiling bill”, Paul said, according to the Washington Post.

“We will find out who the true conservatives in this town are”, Paul said as he planted himself in the chamber and vowed to talk until the scheduled 1 a.m. vote Friday.

The House passed a bill 266 to 167 Wednesday that would up federal spending by roughly $80 billion and stretch the Treasury Department’s borrowing authority through March 2017, USA Today reported.

“I will do everything I can do stop it. I will filibuster it”, Paul told reporters. “It will raise the debt with no limit”.

Paul’s filibuster isn’t indefinite. To describe the growing national debt, he said a trillion dollar bills would stack 63 miles high.

“This is ridiculous”, Gov. Chris Christie’s campaign manager Ken McKay reportedly said.

“If you don’t stir them up and get them on your side now, they’ll be drawn to the other candidates, because they’ll think you don’t really care”, observed Mark Peplowski, professor of political science at College of Southern Nevada. It’s not the government that created the interstate highway system, or Social Security, the most successful social welfare program in human history. “All that’s in that trust fund is a pile of IOUs for money they spent on something else a long time ago”. If his press conference after the deal was announced was an indication of anything, it’s that he’s ready to leave. His very public triage and staff salary cuts cheered even Rick Santorum, exiled to the “undercard” debates but bragging in a donor email this week that “while a few campaigns have received headlines for laying off staff, we just hired five new members of our team”.

Asked for comment, McConnell aide Robert Steurer said in a statement Tuesday, “Sen”.

“If you’re president and the banks are failing, do we let them fail?” No Kentucky Republican has expressed interest in challenging Paul in a primary, and Kentucky has not elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since the late Wendell Ford won his last term in 1992. Perhaps this budget deal would come to the floor under a special status which would allow for use of the filibuster, or perhaps Paul will try one anyway just to dare the presider to declare him out of order. “We’re excited about having a little bit of momentum going into the debate, and we’ll keep pushing”. “Tomorrow never seems to happen”, he said. “This deal does nothing that future generations of Americans will be proud of us for; instead, it postpones tough decisions until after the next election”. Why not insist on structural reforms?
