Concerning Republicans filibustering when the debt ceiling needs to be raised...
Won't happen.
Their overlords on Wall Street will not permit them to take an action that would cause the U.S. Government to default on its debts and plunge the entire world into economic chaos.
Rand Paul might think he has power and can filibuster the raising of the debt ceiling.
But the people who paid for his campaign will not let him do so.
Rand will be allowed to call a filibuster, and the A few Republican's will support Democrats in ending the filibuster, so he can fulfill his pledge to the Teafucks.
The Senate is not going to reject an elected Senator that way.
I don't subscribe to he Banks are running the world theory.
10. I don't thinkt the Senate would actually reject a member
either. And I don't think the bankers control the whole world. But I think it would be an incredibly dangerous stunt for the Senate GOPers to sanction. Everyone will be looking in from London. China, Singapore. All this to please the knuckle draggers in and outside of Kentucky? Kind of risky to a party wanting to capture the Senate in 2012. Doesn't exactly generate confidence in their governing ability.
