hmmm I wonder who is going to win the argument. Too bad these two can't control the senate and the house.

1. It's just impossible to have a Serious Adult Conversation with Franken and Sanders
They are becoming Increasingly Irrelevant.

3. Where on earth do you get that?!
There are certainly some senators about whom such a statement could legitimately be made. However, neither Sanders nor Franken are among that group. Please watch the video again. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here, but I'm pretty sure you weren't paying attention.

5. Sorry, I forgot the sarcasm thingy
I know it's difficult to tell the difference these days.

Those two are as good as it gets.

Sigh.

4. Sen. Paul was the irrelevent one.
Must be nice to have all the money you will ever need to take care of yourself till the end of your days.
But what of those who aren't as fortunate? Sometimes you spend a little to save a lot, and sometimes
you do what is the right thing at any cost. Where exactly do you see Sen. Franken and Sen. Sanders
being irrelevent? Sen. Paul was acting childish and exhibiting his low I.Q., or at least a lack of
human compassion.

10. And that was some stellar sarcasm I must say
And you're right. Sanders and Frankin are as good as it gets. And boy, did Paul look like a fool walking into the land of absurdity. I had no doubt that Paul was going to be one of the worst Junior Senators I've seen in recent years. No doubt the hits will just keep on comin'.

2. Isn't Rand Paul an ophthalmologist?
If one of his patience had a small tumor in the eye, wouldn't he recommend spending a small amount of money on early treatment? Only in Washington? WTF is he talking about? This is what you get from libertarian idealogs. Why haven't the free market and charity organizations already fixed this problem if it's so easy to fix? What a dope.

9. Dope? How about selfish bastard.
His "argument" is pathetic.

11. Is it Irony?
Is it irony that Rand suffers from myopia when it comes to seeing the human costs and considerations and effects of his absurd policy.

17. I think he's a self- licensed opthalmologist
Not licensed by the accredited association.
He just made up his own!
Sooooo...some would say he's NOT licensed.
Plus I think he loves to treat Medicare patients...
As far as your questions, who knows what he'd recommend. I just would hate for anyone to be "treated" by this guy.

18. I guess Rand Paul thinks I'm stupid for blowing insulation in my attic..
... and replacing incandescent lights and weatherstripping my doors.

7. Rand, oh Rand....
Why didn't Al or Bernie just tell Rand Paul this: "Not everybody can do what Ayn Rand did, which is to collect government benefits using her husband's name because she was trying to hide her libertarian hypocrisy"

12. Rando sounds like an ignorant immature teenager trying to argue with flawed logic
is he really that dumb and callous? or is it just ideological blinders that keep him from being rational?...

13. Wow. Franken and Sanders
just made Paul look like an idiot. Did you see the little smirk Franken gave after Ms. Greenlee said that the bill would in fact save taxpayer money? I love how Franken responds to Paul's last "argument" with "I think you just did." Seriously, that last "argument" from Paul was one of the worst I've ever heard.

16. You can CLEARLY see why
Rand's a hero of the Tea Party! They're of the same IQ strata. :dunce:
