The Tea Party, living in an unrealistic dimension, seem impervious to reality. So I really doubt they are worried about Rand Paul or any party blunders. They are obviously unaware of the impact on the rest of the GOP, former supporters leaving the party in droves. Sooner or later, even their tactics for if redistricting and voter suppression won't help them. Let's hope it's sooner.

No, Rand purposefully kept talking even after McConnell told him he had a hot mic. He believes he's in power and was bragging about it. This was a message to his people. The man is a total lunatic. He didn't care about the mic at all!!

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
Robert Greenwald, political activist and founder and president of Brave New Films
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
John Perkins, author of the New York Times bestselling book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
Mike Farrell, actor, political activist, and author of Just Call Me Mike and Of Mule and Man
