Rand Paul to Filibuster Budget Deal

Rand Paul said Tuesday he will filibuster the bipartisan budget deal reached by the White House and congressional Republicans.

 The agreement would also raise the debt ceiling, to ensure the U.S. does not default.

Rand told reporters, in Colorado, according to CNN, that he would do "everything I can to stop it." "It is hard for me not to use profanity in describing it," he said. "We should be using the leverage of the debt ceiling to actually enforce spending restraint."

I am almost always in favor of slowing up and clogging up the Congressional process, but this is more show than anything. There will be a limit to Rand's stamina, even if he wears a stadium pal:

    I was laughing to myself watching his smirk throughout the video, waiting for him to bust out laughing...but not only did he hold it together, he actually demonstrated the product...I wasn't expecting that.

    My wife and I used to do a lot of hiking, this product reminds me of another I almost bought for her called "p-style" that would allow her to pee standing up...lol...I ran the idea by her and she shot me down.
