Showing Original Post only (View all)Medea Benjamin, March 7: “progressives should Stand with Rand” [View all]
That's Rand Paul (T), Kentucky's be-wigged junior Senator. Medea, writing in Mondoweiss.net:
While progressives have all sorts of reasons to dislike Rand Pauls Tea Party, small government libertarian views, killer drones is one issue on which progressives should make common cause with Paul and his growing legions of supporters.
After all, its not about the messenger but the message. And compared to the Democratic Senators who have, with few exceptions, remained either silent or support of President Obamas killer drones, Rand made a heroic stand. In gratitude, progressives should Stand with Rand.

Nothing personal but progressives do not stand with teabagging obstructionists and methinks Medea has quaffed one too many pink martinis.

Rand Paul and Ron Paul's John Birch Society views should not be tolerated in 2013 whatsoever.

Yes, that was cute. I have the one with all the rec's and the 'I'll never vote Dem again' list.

President Obama has attempted this three times. It takes CONGRESS (owned by repubs) to do it

I thought the drone program was a crime before Rand ever opened his pie hole
