Election season is the only time these guys pander to their fake virtues ... but in any case, this is still great news (especially if it actually works). I mean, I doubt Paul has much of a chance at the White House, but if he succeeds here, it will be a great win for the people nonetheless. So go Rand go

What's he bitching about?  McConnell already threw in the towel and is going to let the senate vote on the House Bill that Obama supports.

The Senate will vote on legislation that ends the National Security Agency's bulk collection of millions of Americans' phone records as Congress scrambles to renew the Patriot Act before it expires on June 1. 

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has opposed the House bill to reauthorize the post-Sept. 11 law while significantly changing the NSA's bulk collection, preferring to simply renew the Patriot Act. But he told reporters Tuesday that he will allow a vote on the measure that passed the House overwhelmingly last week and has the backing of the Obama administration.

Oh, he's not bitching.  He's grandstanding.
