Your posts are a joke BA. Don't you have anything useful to say? Or, are you as challenged as stu and rcg?
You call it grandstanding. I call it leadership. No one can deny he scored the political win of the week. He achieved a rare double. He forced obama to back down and he did so to the approval of the liberal media. Some may see this as republican infighting, but McCain is a party leader only in his fevered imagination. Paul has shown that principled leadership has appeal that crosses party lines. I would argue that this new wave conservatism is far more promising to the republicans than trying to out-pander Obama to groups that will never vote republican.
I agree clean house. Impose term limits and campaign finance restrictions, we don't need corporate, billionaire, PAC's and special interest picking all our congressmen. I think a lot of these guys look at politics as a path to fame and fortune. Clean house!
