WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican Sen.-elect Rand Paul says GOP lawmakers must be open to cutting military spending as Congress tries to reduce government spending.

The tea party favorite from Kentucky says compromise with Democrats over where to cut spending must include the military as well as social programs. Paul says all government spending must be "on the table."

Paul tells ABC's "This Week" that he supports a constitutional amendment calling for a balanced budget.

Nice start Rand.

Now that all the hoopla is over, and now that the shellacking the dems got becomes yesterday's news, we see that the more things change, the more they stay the same. It's back to business as usual.

I wish Rand Paul all the luck in the world, but if he is allowed to snip off a few corners from appropriations to the military machine here and there, he'll be very lucky. I cannot say that I am at all optimistic that there are forces inside this country that can reverse or divert the flow of resources to the imperial juggernaut. It must be apparent at this point that any real change in direction in this country will come in reaction to forces that are beyond our control.

ISRAEL PLANS TO TAKE THEIR NEW CONGRESS TO WAR

November 6, 2010 DID ANYONE REALLY EXPECT ISRAEL WOULD LOSE ?

ISRAEL PLANS TO TAKE THEIR NEW CONGRESS TO WARThe Republican party’s gain of 60 plus House Seats (10 seats, all held by Democrats, are still undecided at press time) and six Senate seats, is the largest Congressional increase for either party since 1948 when the Democrats gained 75 seats in the lower chamber and Harry Truman won the White House. Prior to this week, it was in 1938 that American voters, tiring of the great depression and some of Roosevelt’s expensive new deal initiatives plus unease over FDR’s “Supreme Court packing scheme’ as more than Republicans labeled it, allowed the Grand Old Party to pick up an all time record 80 seats in that year’s midterm elections.

Next January’s 112th Congress is already receiving rave advance reviews. Some coming from the more than half a million settlers in more than 100 illegal colonies in occupied Palestine who are pleased to see President Obama emasculated and the sentiments expressed in his June 2008 Cairo speech long forgotten. Many are hoping he will be replaced by likes of Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, or a Mike Huckabee in 2012.

....

No sooner had the election results been declared than key winners received what for decades has been a post election ritual, bestowed on new Members of Congress. That would be the delivery of US taxpayer subsidized invitations for all expense paid junkets to Israel. Of this year’s batch, Florida’s new Senator, Marco Rubio, who considers himself a Tea Party leader and who has been called “America’s great Right hope’ will lead the flock and arrive in Israel on Sunday 11/7/10. As Rubio and other members of Congress board planes to fly to Israel they may actually near-miss Israeli officials, including PM Netanyahu, who will be coming the opposite direction for a five day US visit to meet with his personal choice to replace Obama for US President in 2012, Hilary Clinton. Netanyahu will also talk Congressional strategy with key Israeli lobby agents. Those listed on the various passenger manifests between the US and Israel will share the common objective of making sure Israel’s interests are preserved and “remain eternally paramount” to borrow a phrase from VP Joe Biden. They will also try to assure and that the 112th Congress brooks no Obama administration unpleasantness such as increased demands for a broader freeze on Jewish settlements....

Lacumo and Jethro need a trip to the woodshed.

I think that Lacumo and Jethro love their country and like all of us want to see that someone in that rathole in DC is listening to reason and not to slavish self interest. Men like the Pauls have great careers outside of politics and have no need for office. I believe that they are sincere men. They are quite simply outnumbered. Who here can say that they sincerely hope for much from the 112th Congress in terms of the general welfare?

We can only watch this drama unfold in slow motion to see how the system reacts to the shocks that are sure to come, and to come soon and with increasing rapidity. I only hope that the way that the American Goliath chooses to respond is not massively bellicose. I say "only hope" because my instincts tell me that that's the way things are going.

What we need are a few Congress people like olde Benjamin Tillman.

He got the Senators attention and the attention of the entire country.

Jethro knows of that man.

The link also contains one of Ben's most memorable speeches - it could be delivered today.

He names the London jew, Rothschild, for his banking wickedness, among others.

Quite a man!

Cyni would say that he had fire in his belly, and he'd be right.

Sir Lod...

That speech should be required reading by all 4um members.

this part I loved.

"In discussing the gold standard he said: 'Rothschild and his American agents graciously condescended to come to the help of the United States treasury in maintaining the gold standard which has wrought the ruin, and only charges a small commission of $10,000,000 or so on one little transaction. Great God, that this proud government, the richest, most powerful on the globe, should have been brought to so low a pass that a London Jew should have been appointed its receiver to have charge of the treasury.....

Thank you for mentioning Senator Tillman (wondering if he and Pat are related) so that I could learn about him, and read his wonderful speech.

With a few updates, it should be given to the senate in our time.
