Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) filibustered for about a day to hold up a confirmation. Rand was demanding clarification about use of drones in USA airspace to kill people. What may come as a surprise to some alleged conservatives, Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) criticized Rand on the issue of killing people on American soil without a trial.
Rand;s response to big-government Republicans McCain and Graham, "They think the whole world is a battlefield, including America, and that the
laws of war should apply..." Read more quotes and a TV interview here.
GOP operatives should not ignore the split in the Republican party on a couple issues:
killing suspects on American soil without due process;
amnesty for illegals (foreign invaders).

GOP's Hope
The articles about why the GOP lost have been published. While Republicans mistakenly used 2010 voter demographics, Democrats turned out their 2008 voter base. By nominating Romney, a liberal cultist elite bankster gun-grabber, there was no passionate base for Romney. The lack of enthusiasm trickle down to state races.
I think the GOP won a consolation prize of staying in power. The Democrats and Republicans again were able to keep voters away from third parties. They stay in control of the game, and that is a win for the GOP.
If the GOP is to expand their base and win future elections, they should find candidates who don't repel the conservative base and who can attract young voters. A person like Ron Paul is the model of a future winning GOP.
Article from the Washington Times:
Ron Paul Revolution: GOP’s last best hope
I am amazed at the diversity of folks who come up and say how much they admire Ron Paul.
At rallies around the country, from the liberal bastion of Berkeley, Calif., where 8,000 students came to an event, to Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University, kids from all over the political spectrum came to listen to Ron Paul.

Farewell Speech
Ron Paul gave a nearly hour-long speech to Congress. One media outlet likened his speech to George Washington's.
Read the enter article and watch the video.
Ron Paul now leaves office having introduced more ideas into the national debate than any other figure in either party. Not that that was much of a challenge. Can anyone name a single idea introduced by either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney? ... And on foreign policy, Ron Paul pretty much singlehandedly made it possible to talk about the rather obvious fact that we're going broke trying to be the policeman of the world - and that we're not very good at it. If only Romney had listened to him he might have made some headway on foreign policy.

Bernanke’s Nightmare
The bill for Ron Paul's long-standing effort for a full and complete audit of the Federal Reserve has passed the House of Representatives. The banksters clearly do not want visibility of their books. This issue will be raised at the 2012 Republican National Convention.
From Bloomberg:
... Republicans are considering including a plank in their party platform calling for a full audit of the central bank. ... Paul, in an interview, warned that if Romney’s backers resist the effort, it could result in a politically distracting and messy fight in front of the national media. “It’s good economics and it’s good legislation, but it’s also good politics, because 80 percent of the American people agree with it,” Paul said. If Republican leaders “exclude it, I would think some of my supporters would be annoyed and feel strongly enough to take it to the floor under the rules.”

House passes Bill to Audit the Fed
The private cartel Federal Reserve has a fake audit on part of their activities. We need and deserve a full and complete audit of all activities, including their bailouts and swap lines to other countries.
Today the House of Representatives passed the bill. Will the Senate stand up to the banksters and pass the bill?

Today's vote marks a high point for Paul, who is retires at the end of the year. His signature bill requires a full audit of the Federal Reserve – a move that critics, including Fed chair Ben Bernanke, dub 'nightmarish.'
