They should be treating Brennan the way they treat Hagel, who does not deserve what he has been getting.

Brennan is fantastic, and this piece of scum shouldn't be preventing his confirmation.

Agreed... I wonder how many other national security Republicans the Paul wing of the party will turn into Democrats...

Probably not many will remember these little slights come 2014 or 2016, although you never know.

Enough to take the party back to its conservative roots. Say no to fascism.

It would have been more fun had Obama also nominated the John Brennan who formerly ran Vanguard to be the new Treasury Secretary.

Good. The hold system is a joke. Even if you want to defend the filibuster it is pretty absurd.

I would totally support a filibuster against John Brennan. He's terrible. Let's try someone who actually has a backbone and who won't use drones like they're toys.

Kind of hoping I'm still in the bluegrass state in '16 just to pull the lever for his opponent.

That assumes he doesn't leave the Senate after one term to run for president.

More like 99%, I don't really care if Brennan gets the nomination or not, I'm neutral with him.

Agreed. That's shouldn't be a party issue, as it bites both in the ass when holding the elected majority.
