Wait a minute... Im not ok with that answer. That says the President cant make that decision, that doesnt say that other bodies of the government cannot.

Glad to see the GOP is still as worthless as it was before yesterday.
WASHINGTON -- Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Thursday he would vote for CIA director nominee John Brennan because Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) filibustered his appointment over questions about the administration's drone program.
"I was going to vote against him until the filibuster, so he picked up one vote," Graham said, laughing to reporters in the Capitol.
"I thought Brennan was arrogant, a bit shifty," he said, but added that he was going to vote for Brennan because the vote had become a "referendum on the drone program."
"Where were all these people during the Bush administration? I never remember anybody accusing President [George W.] Bush of 'We're going to kill someone in a cafe,'" Graham said. (Paul, of course, was not in office during the Bush administration.)
Graham's reversal is notable since he had previously threatened to delay the nomination over the administration's account of the attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi. On Thursday, Graham said he had gotten what he wanted.
Graham qualified that he had "no problem" with Paul trying to get answers on whether the president has the authority to kill an American citizen inside the United States.
Paul held an old-fashioned talking filibuster that lasted almost 13 hours over Brennan's nomination. He objected to a letter he received from Attorney General Eric Holder in which the administration refused to rule out the option of killing an American citizen on U.S. soil.

Originally posted by Vertnut View PostI wish McCain would attack the libs as much as much as he attacks his own party.
If the GOP is headed in the direction of Paul, Amash, and Cruz (not huge fans of any of them, but they're a marked improvement), then there's hope. But reading the comments on here, I don't think that's the case. Most of the time (this thread being an exception), this forum sounds a lot like the liner notes from a McCain/McConnell circle jerk.

The GOP deserved to lose the last election, and they WILL continue to lose by a larger margin each year until they get some of these old, crotchety, out of touch assholes out of office. There is a way to be moral without shoving religion down people's throats. It's time to give the abortion shit a rest. It's time to give gay marriage a rest. We've got bigger fish to fry. It's time to actually show that they are for smaller government, rather than just talk about it. This drone shit is a perfect example. There were what, 4 other senators that stood with Cruz? Where the fuck was the rest of the GOP? Vote their sorry asses out. Even Jon fucking Stewart conceded that Paul was 100% dead on with his concerns.
