New boys: Best boys?

Here's the other side of the story:  All the "good" Republicans who came to the aid of Rand Paul during his filibuster:

From the Washington Times: RAND PAUL'S FILIBUSTER WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM HIS FRIENDS.

I think it's important to note and remember who those friends are..so we can make sure to support them as appropriate:

Ted Cruz (TX)
Mike Lee (UT)
Marco Rubio (FL)
John Cornyn (TX)
John Barrasso (WY)
Jerry Moran (KS)
Saxby Chambliss (GA)
Pat Toomey (PA)
Ron Johnson (WI)
Tim Scott (SC)
Jeff Flake (AZ)
John Thune (SD)
Mitch McConnell (KY)

As the Times points out..."most of thse senators were newcomers, elected in 2010 or 2012."

Time for the old GOP bulls(hit) to be put out to pasture.

Also, to be excruciatingly fair, Ron Wyden (D-OR) also showed up to help, because he and Rand are "ideological allies on the issue of seeking more information on drone strikes."

Let's not let that go to our heads, though, shall we?

Let's give a shout out to Reince Priebus (can that seriously be his real name?), the Republican National Committee Chairman, who issued an all-hands alert to help Paul out.

This....while McCain and Lindsay and were preparing their disparaging remarks while dining in style with Øbongo et al. Note that ALL THE OTHER REPUBLICAN SENATORS ALSO IGNORED THE CALL FOR HELP EVEN IF THEY HAVE NOT YET ACTUALLY CONDEMNED PAUL FOR HIS ACTIONS,

Nice teamwork, assholes. Wow...I wonder why we can't beat 'Bammer out of a thin dime.
