04/05/11: Sen. Rand Paul Speaks on Sense of the Senate Resolution

[katnap72]

The Pauls are outstanding statesmen!

Ried is an utter disgrace to America, his presence is that of a wet noodle -- useless!

[modette99]

Rand Paul for President

[nathan9384]

Harry Ried and those 90 senators who voted against that bill can go to hell.

[theknightswhosay]

I was a little confused about the yielding here. I thought it was just for a brief question. To be fair, I guess it takes a few months to get used to the absurd procedures of the Senate.

[TheBb127]

Why cant he be impeached for breaking the Constitution. Oh yeah he didn't take the oath of office when he got sworn in.

[pretorious700]

The US government is completely out of control. The president is laughing at congress, it's his intention to put all power in the hands of the executive branch. Forget his personal honesty and integrity, that has long since been proven null and void.

[Pdrum2]

@pretorious700 Lol, honesty, he's defintitely  not honest

[terryk9725]

senator Rand paul and senator mike lee are true american patriots! Pray for their continued success in protecting the American people from tyranny and oppression!

[oinklesam]

@terryk9725 ...protecting the people from tyranny and oppression - are you paying attention at all?

[oinklesam]

@terryk9725 ...protecting the people from tyranny and oppression - are you paying attention at all?

[Hangtime96]

This is a Major News Story , and yet what's on your 'Tube' at this very moment ? The Government Shutdown ??? So Do you still think that your Mainstream Media is owned by the Corporations that also own the Federal Gov't ???

[MrCranky2011]

why are their so few people, that say it like it is?

[bdmenne]

Holy Shit, thank you Rand for the Sound REASONING!! LOVE IT!

[oleainatoivo]

I Admire You Immensely Rand Paul.

[tigerlee1106]

@abadubie supposedly to find "militants" BUT are we really??!!!!

[tigerlee1106]

@abadubie pakistan because of predator drones that is why i added pakistan.

[jimivaughan420]

how can ANYONE actually want Obama in office again? Obama 2012??? Seriously, I mean really? If you don't know how much of a fucking douche he is now, then there is NO hope for you. Ron and Rand Paul 2012 is what you should be shouting you morons!

[macroorchidism]

Obama disliked this video

[TheBigBadWoIf]

@macroorchidism rachel maddow was probably behind the other dislike

[cybrotius]

You will got to war when and where the banksters tell you to. The UN takes their orders from the banks, the President takes his orders from the UN, the Military and the Congress take their orders from the President, so what is the problem with the 10 guys who don't get this?

[jimchode]

Thank god for the Paul's

[aemull3]

watching the president tear apart the country and not saying anything because you believe it wont help is similar to watching a bus full of kids flip over on the highway and driving by because youre late for work. Great job Rand

[ourwallaceclan]

"Senate defeats Rand Paul’s resolution reasserting Congress’s war powers, 90-10"

90 Senators just said we are no longer a free and sovereign nation ruled by UN resolutions that dictate where our young boys will die.

[pranoykurian]

@ourwallaceclan

What exactly would the resolution do? What did it consist of?

[ourwallaceclan]

@pranoykurian I dont think it would have "done" anything other than possibly testing the waters of dissent within the senate for possible impeachment hearings.

[standupgun]

@ourwallaceclan

I guess that they didn't agree with Obama the senators comments regarding the limits of the executive branch regarding military action.

[wrodjr]

Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame randy paulie. When Obama is re-elected in 2012, you will be out of office shortly thereafter

[1959Artie]

@wrodjr You are quite sick in the head, as are ninety senators. What part of RP's presentation did you and 90 senators miss? Then you repeatedly type "Obama 2012!" over and over and over! You are one sick person!!

[TruthSeeker1982]

IMPEACH OBAMA!

[wrodjr]

@TruthSeeker1982 impeach obama? that's old and full of shit

[TruthSeeker1982]

@wrodjr Read the U.S. constitution and the War Powers Resolution of 1973 and you will see that Obama's attack on Libya was illegal. Therefore, the president should be impeached.

[NYBraveheart]

Rand has hit the Senate floor running. Go Rand! He is his father's son.

[f007scott]

.....and no one in America gives one fuck. Great. What is worse is that no one cares. I thought at least Obama might pull us out of Iraq. How silly of me. "Change" sounds like "faster in the same direction".

[camelsonhorizon]

can someone point me to the whole version or recordings of the congress sessions referenced here??

[camelsonhorizon]

YOUTUBE OBAMA LIES. obama says 25 things AGAINST HIMSELF. HE LIES, SO SO SO MUCH!!! !!!!! !!!

[camelsonhorizon]

we the people DO NOT WANT WAR OF ANY KIND. PERIOD.

[turbomango]

Florida is made up of Leftist idiots and Cuban Fascists. They don't know WHY they're Republican, they just don't want Communism. While I hate both fascism and communism, I do know why I vote and for what issue or candidate. The Cubans in FL are as dumb as ther left counterparts,

[JohnnyMac2237]

Rubio official Teaocon. I should have seen that coming. Lets just call ourselves constitutionalists to prevent further co-opting of movements.

[spaceagedevice]

@wrodjr, Obama won and campaigned on being anti-war, as well as closing gitmo. Nice try, statist.

[MrGottabefree]

OBAMA IS AFTER A ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT!!! But what he doesnt realize is myself and many more will fight this as our forefathers fought before us!!!

[IaoGawd]

@MrGottabefree Everybody wants "One World Government." Corporations, markets, and networks are already global. The same people screaming the loudest about a NWO conspiracy usually also subscribe to a religious promise that their God will someday return to rule all (i.e.one world government).

One world government is inevitable if our species is to evolve beyond self-destruction. The questions should be: who's gonna be in charge? How do we ensure limited, representative government globally?

[MrGottabefree]

@IaoGawd Oh I see. I'll see you or your kind around someday. Your NWO will never happen.

[IaoGawd]

@MrGottabefree You don't get it, do you? It's a conspiracy that EVERYONE is involved in -- including YOU.

[Iain1962]

@IaoGawd I don't. Humans are tribal there's no denying it. Tribes can come together but they still need to be self governing, a one world government will not work in they way they are trying to impose it.

[IaoGawd]

@Iain1962 Exactly -- "will not work in the way they are trying to impose it."

When in human history did a good government start from nothing? The American Revolution was rebellion against tyranny. I only hope we don't find ourselves rhyming with history -- world government enacted by immoral egomaniacs bent on empire through force, not republic by consent. Leave as much power in the hands of locals, with global authority limited. It'd be nice to resolve conflict through courts, not warfare.

[gunguy54]

@MrGottabefree I agree.



[2swiminfishAZ]

You go Rand Paul! chip of the old block

[marcabela]

People, let's all make sure we keep a copy of this video stored somewhere precious, in 3 years from now, when Rand Paul is president, we will most surely need it when he starts launching new bombing sessions on Bazwilla-land. Don't get me wrong - I love Ron and Rand... but gee, if nobody so far has managed to stop them wars up until today, there's surely something we all just don't know taking place behind the curtains, a secret memo only handed out to you only the day you become president...

[boredomstryks]

If the POTUS can send us to war without authority, what else can he do without authority? What can he do TO you/us? This couldn't possibly be more serious and he CANNOT get away with this! Rand, you MUST stick to your guns and DO NOT let this drop! As far as I'm concerned, our very way of life is under the most serious threat we have ever known, and even beyond the outrageous spending and other unconstitutional legislation that has passed.

[wrodjr]

Obama for 2012! An easy win for Democrats over nonsense moronic teapartier and republicans. Remember republicans are busting unions and want to get rid of medicare, medicaid and social security. If that's what you want then vote and don't blame anyone except yourself when it happens

[MrGottabefree]

@wrodjr Yeah but also remember the democrats have put us farther in debt in just 3 years farther than ALL THE OTHER PRESIDENTS COMBINED!! WE CANT AFFORD ALL THE DEMOCRATS, WHEN THEIR LEADER IS TRYING HIS BEST TO DESTROY THIS COUNTRY!!

[2swiminfishAZ]

@wrodjr So we should just expect the government to take care of us? What about the people who lived before all these government run programs? They got along just fine b/c the values of our country were instilled in them and they believed in INDIVIDUAL freedoms and the chance to better themselves....w/o the aide of the goverment! Its a sad state today when people feel they are intitled to these things!? If anything aid should be coming from your fellow AMERICAN and not the government!

[ThndrShk2k]

@wrodjr Your reasons are anti-group this and pro-group that. If you understood anything, you'd realise that any kind of blind group based opinion is the most harmful thing to the government.

The real good reason to like a candidate is for what they say, not what their party says. They stick to their principles and do no falter to corruption.

While the popular "tea party" movement is rather distasteful since the mainstream media got them, the one who inspired it has not yielded to such hypocrisy

[ThndrShk2k]

@wrodjr And yet our current president, Anti-War and all, sent us into another war. Democrat or Republican, party doesn't matter if they go against their word.

In fact, the one who inspired the people that eventually lead to what the media refers to the Tea Party movement was bashed, ridiculed, and ignored by the Republican party for years -especially during the 2008 debates-, and is still pushed aside while some of the more mainstream representatives that jumped aboard the wagon. It is Ron Paul

[boredomstryks]

The only problem with this speech is that it's the War Powers Resolution, not the War Powers Act. Otherwise, preach on, Rand!

[AlienNationRadio]

Obama is a wimp!

[ehstandyourgroundac]

Great speech! ;D (Lol at "Tread on me...please tread on me!")

[TheWNMan]

Ron/Rand Paul 2012!!!!

[mindphish]

Obama hit dislike...

[boredomstryks]

@mindphish LOL!

[JamesMichaelNewton]

I generally support the Democrats in our government because they tend to be more moderate over the rabid Republicans who are just... nuts... but in this case, Obama and the Democrats have FAILED totally. I personally feel Obama should be impeached over this horrible breach of the law.

[RecklessTruth]

You tell them Mr.Paul!!!

[cfountain72]

Mad props to Kentucky (and Utah) for sending such principled men to represent then in our Senate!

[nakor667]

Paul 4 Prez!

[katsfanman]

save America Vote THE Paul,s we can have peace for the next 16 years JUST COME HOME !

[katsfanman]

save America Vote THE Paul,s we can have peace for the next 16 years

[buyred]

He is a chip off the old block.

[kylewarnerlouisville]

129 Smart People, 1 Idiot

[yakyakyak69]

@kylewarnerlouisville TROLL!

[Joe11Blue]

WHO'S HOUSE!? OUR HOUSE!!! Wait, where's the keg? Better card the minor's Mr. Paul, we don't want to violate any law's like Mr Obama. That's poor company to be keeping.

[2late2dally]

Great job, Rand Paul. I'm sure I have some disagreements with you on other issues but this was a great speech !

I don't understand why Mike Lee from Utah was so long-winded; I thought it was supposed to be a "question" so why recite the three conditions which had already been mentioned by Senator Paul I wonder.

[mrsmeow61]

I love how Rand and Ron Paul continue to be a thorn in the foot of the morons who bow at the altar of statism.

[wrodjr]

Republicans and Teapartiers just ruined this nation for the middle class and the poor. They are puppets to the top 2 percent of the nations wealthiest. Obama has kicked off his re-election and who in the republican party is running? no one lol.

[yakyakyak69]

@wrodjr Liberty is IMPOSSIBLE while a Central Bank Monopoly with Fiat Debt-Currency & Fractional Reserve Banking promotes Corruption.

The Fed corrupts crony politicians with power to borrow, debase & spend to buy “support” from Special Interest Groups, Unions, “Too Big to Fail” Corporations, the Military-Industrial Complex & Wall Street Cartels.

Central Banking = the Despotism of Central Economic Planning, Political Bribery & Cronyism!

Watch: “Money as Debt" here on YouTube.

LEARN!

[elativ10]

@wrodjr hahaha talk about being misinformed about life... you are part of the reason our country is in a mess. Half the voters, including you, have no idea what is going on.

[wrodjr]

@elativ10 A 20 year old punk is going to lecture me on politics? lol Lets see. Obama won by a overwhelming majorite over McCain. Obama kicked off his re-election campaign and the republicans don't have anyone yet neither does the teaparty. lol After the stunts the republicans have pulled on the american people, do you really believe they have a prayer? lol sillly boy.

[machaeroguy]

@wrodjr "Obama kicked off his re-election campaign" LOL Obama's entire Senatorial and Presidential careers have been one continuous campaign.

[wrodjr]

Obama for 2012! phuck republicans and teapartiers. Remember it was under a Republican President Bush that brought about the economic mess that the USA is in. Obama has done more good than Bush did in his 8 years in office. Stick that up your butts republicans! lol Obama 2012! Obama 2012!

[wrodjr]

look at the pscyho teapartiers come out to defend this moron lol

[TheDubCollector]

Dr. Rand Paul is ALREADY shaking things up in Washington

Down with Neocons!

[zzquanto]

wrodjr, You must have been dumbed down by Lawrence O'Donnell who in the 14th second of his recent rant attributed the Obama quote to Senators Paul and Lee and went on to describe a one minute internet resolution as something akin to an act of Congress. The paragraph about Libya did not authorize the US to do anything. It was about the UN expanding it's role. That paragraph had been inserted after an earlier version had been circulated to congressional offices.

[wrodjr]

@zzquanto and you listen to beck the moron lol

[zzquanto]

@wrodjr Your guess is incorrect and name calling is a poor substitute for reasoned argument.

[wrodjr]

@zzquanto your right just like your goons that assaulted a woman who had every right to protest at the teaparty. Remember that incident? hmm Name calling is nothing compare to physical assault.

[syghur]

@wrodjr Bahahaha. How about the union thugs that shouted racial epithets at a black man while they beat him so badly he had to go to the hospital? Purple IS the new brown. How about the leftists that vandalized businesses in Denver and tried to blame it on the Tea Party? How about the constant violence that surrounds any gathering of leftist protesters?

One incident during a campaign is nothing compared to the history of violence on the left.

[AdroxNight]

Got to love how Rand takes no time, and doesnt hold back in pointing out that Obama is a fraud.

I have to appreciate the common sense he speaks.

[wrodjr]

First rand paul votes in favor of the no fly zone over libya and now he votes against it. DUH! Teapartiers are morons!

[Apptendo]

@wrodjr He didn't vote for it,  he wasn't in the Senate building at the time.

[wrodjr]

@Apptendo too bad that you're 16, you can't vote lol. I will vote for Obama in 2012!

[Apptendo]

@wrodjr Well, your using an Ad Hominem, and when I'm 18 in 2012 I'll vote for Ron Paul!

[wrodjr]

@Apptendo lol keep dreaming kid

[Joe11Blue]

@wrodjr Nice, ragging on a kid.

[wrodjr]

@Joe11Blue aw poor baby, the kid opens his mouth about politics and doesn't expect someone to comment? hmmm or is the teaparty tactic. You have the right to say anything, but no one else? nonsense lol Welcome to America, Freedom of Speech!

[Joe11Blue]

@wrodjr What are you talking about chump?

[Apptendo]

@wrodjr BTW, he supports 2nd amendment unlike Obama.

[suitabledude]

@wrodjr no the morons are those, such as yourself, who disingenuously mislead others by misconstruing the facts. Paul never voted in favor of a no fly zone, the democratic leadership did push through, without debate, a unanimous consent for such an action. Neither rand, nor anyone else had the opportunity to vote against it since it was prohibited by Reid's corrupt ass. liberals: always making shit up to cover their asses.

[wrodjr]

@suitabledude get help. you are delusional

[wrodjr]

This guy is a phucking moron!

[suitabledude]

@wrodjr no you're a fucking moron.

[Maverick66Bret]

Senators Paul and Lee - authentic leadership. This is a very sad day for our nation. I cannot believe that the American public isn't crawling out of their skin over the President's newly-minted private military force.....

[dskillz1]

I figured Rubio was fake when I saw his face on the cover of the NYTimes magazine in the summer of 2010. He's a false flag infiltrator, and this is just the beginning of his neocon ways.

[nogl0001]

Great speech Rand!

[temp1arX]

Rand Paul 2016

[guitarland]

Looks like Texas Senators Hutchinson and Cornyn also voted AGAINST Rand Paul's Libya Resolution. Rand Paul you are NOT ALONE. Please keep up the great work. We will have to replace about 90 senators, with men and women who understand Art 1 Section 8 of the US Constitution.

[slugga06]

@abadubie thats why tigerlee said 1/2 of a war...

[ecuaben]

End these wars!

[xxxBradTxxx]

1. Revolutionary war

2. Reagan revolution

3. Paul revolution?

[TheDrbonz]

yes we are fuming and i would love to see Rubiocons resignation presented to us live on tv

[slugga06]

@abadubie Obama has been sending unmanned aerial drones over the afghan Pakistan boarder to bomb the people for the past 2 years.

[63utuber]

Testify!

[boat6868]

Thank you Senator Paul...the champion of the constitution in the Senate!

I knew you would give the fools down there fits...and I love how you are putting a spotlight on their hypocrisy.

[xxxBradTxxx]

@boat6868 his speeches and logic is much like Reagan's I want him to be our next president.

[MyMaeve]

Effin' genius! Who will the puppets in the Senate side with? Sen. Obama, or Pres.Obama? LMAO! He couldn't have done any better at pointing out the hypocrisy and failure of the criminals in D.C. Catch 22 anyone? LOL caught in their own web. :)

[tigerlee1106]

we are in 3 wars Afghanistan, 1/2 Iraq, 1/2 Pakistan, and now in Libya we may have another war upcoming!

[nuclide]

Marco "Teaocon" Rubio voted to table this amendment. Florida must be fuming.

[CountArtha]

@nuclide I can't speak for the rest of Florida, but he's really been lowering my expectations.

[TheDrbonz]

@CountArtha where did you hear the rest of the discourse please??

[Illimitus]

@nuclide His first act after winning was going to Israel. Look it up.

[suitabledude]

@nuclide marcio rubio is a fraud.

[Dannyboy8155]

@nuclide I tell you, I saw the hypocrisy in Marco Rubio from the start. This man was the leader of the Fl House of Reps... the same body that allows thousands of prescription narcotics to be prescribed to people who do not need them. I'm sure the Speaker of the Florida House must have conciously allowed this to go on. Now all of a sudden he's supposed to be some outsider Tea Party candidate.

[joepeeler34]

@Dannyboy8155 Yep, Rubio is a fraud. I suspected that he was an establishment Republican because he never spoke about dismantling the Federal Reserve system. He never spoke about repealing the 16th and 17th amendments. He never talked about ending large govt. dept.'s. He never spoke out against the sins of the military-industrial-congressio­nal complex. That's how I knew that he was a phony before he got to D.C.

[NCIcaucus]

@nuclide Marco Rubio is bought and paid for...Lee and Paul are not.
