I bet he didn't have to ask more than once! Coward McConnell doesn't have the guts--obviously after waiting until last night--after the latest proposal from Russia, to voice his opposition to Reid's initial resolution. Of course, there's another bipartisan one soon to be on the table in the Senate.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) will deliver a video response to President Obamas call to hold Syria accountable for its alleged chemical weapons use following Obama's 9 p.m. address Tuesday from the White House.
Paul is not doing it on behalf of the Republican Party, his press secretary told The Hill. Instead, he is offering his thoughts as a concerned senator, she said.
The Tea Party senator has been leading the charge in Congress against Obamas call for intervening in Syria.
On Monday, Paul circulated a letter to his congressional colleagues urging them not to back it either.

(3,539 posts)Given the events of yesterday, I wouldn't bet that even Obama knows just what he will put in that speech.
But sure as heck some teapublican fool knows exactly what to say.
Obama Bad, bla, bla, bla, bla bla, Obama bad.
Obama Bad, bla, bla, bla, bla bla, Obama bad.
Rand, go to you're room.

(70 posts)...by GOP politicians, Rand Paul should surpass the likes of Bobby Jindal and Marco Rubio.
But that's not really saying much.
