Senate votes 81-10 to send unlimited, unrestricted taxpayer funds to Egypt, Libya, Pakistan. Why are we sending hundreds of millions to people that kill our ambassador, think we should be kissing their asses and hid Osama Bin Ladem?

This vote tells me that there is truly something going on - that the American public "average joe-blow" does not know. Where is the explanation from the majority voters as to why this funding should continue? One thing is for sure - the MSM will certainly keep it a secret - if anyone there is even interested in the answer. Appears to me to be yet another 0bamacare vote - something the majority of Americans are against.
At least Rand Paul sees the clear and present danger of giving our(tax payers) to the enemy. It's too bad that there are 81 cowards who bemoan the attacking and killing if US Citizens but can't bring themselves to put their words into actions.
I've got to stop using my damn iPhone to do my posting.
Giving Tax Payers to the Enemy - there's an App for that!
Obama wrote it.
Why am I not surprised by this? Why are we sending foreign aid to egyptian Islamists and not matching funds for the Israelis? Just asking?
Why not just write Obama a blank check, and he can distribute it as he sees fit?
The fact that AMERICANS vote for stuff like this is beyond me. Of course, this is more appeasement for barry to use to try to quell the violence between now and the election-its really embarrassing that the DNC dug up fucking Neville Chamberlain and reanimated him in zero's body to run the US.
Get me outta here (did I say that out loud).
We are so screwed!
Toomey, my man, way to stand up. I'm finally represented by someone! This is the first time since my birth during the Reagan administration that this has happened.
I'm just in shock that Pennsylvania elected someone who would go against 81% of his colleagues and vote in an admirable way. It's Pennsylvania... What!?
I like Rand Paul, but the world is in such a condition right now, with the moslem takeover apparatus in high gear, I believe cutting any aid to Israel would be disastrous. I understand his plan includes eliminating at least the military component of aid to Israel. That'd be bad. I wouldn't give a dime to any country that forces its people to live under the gloom of the doom cult of muhommet, so forget about paying the -stans and palistiners. Anyplace shari'a is the law, forget em.
Don't forget the 9 that didn't vote, they may as well have voted for the funding. The one that suprised me on that list is Marco Rubio, I thought he knew better.
Rubio continues to disappoint me. His support for the DREAM Amnesty, even proposing a similar bill of his own, makes me wonder WTH he is thinking. Failing to vote on this bill is akin to Dear Leader voting Present.
At least 10 people had some balls.
Indeed, considering the huge numbers by which this bill was defeated, I'd be interested in hearing the rationale of some of the more reliable members (like Rubio) who voted it down. With all respect to Sen. Rand Paul, I think there's something more going on here than we are getting from a site called "Creeping Sharia." Not only was this overwhelmingly voted down, but Paul had to threaten holding up the entire business of the Senate just to get a vote on it.
Despite the "shock value" of the headline, I do believe there's more here than meets the eye.
Because WSashington, D.C., is no longer occupied by real Americans. We are ruled by a bureaucracy-elite who despise us and think they're smarter than us.
