Title: Will Rand Paul filibuster the debt ceiling increase pending early next year and default the United States into bankruptcy?

His belief system calls for him to do this even though that would cause a worldwide financial collapse and an epic depression like the world has never seen.

I predict that he won't, as while a Tea Party candidate like him won, all the big spending Republicans won as well. In fact, if this election had truly shown the Tea Party to have tapped extreme discontent with the Democrats, the Republican Party would of posted much larger gains than they did.

The GOP will pressure Rand to toe the line and vote for a debt ceiling increase. And when President Obama wins re-election, I predict much if not all the minimal gains made by the GOP will be rolled back.

Mitch McConnell will control Rand Paul, and the GOP controlled House will be gridlocked and remind people why they divorced the GOP two years ago and turn out to be a blessing in disguise that will make Obama's reelection to be a much easier thing to accomplish in 2012.

Enjoyed the noise made here that there would be a historic slam dunking of a win by the GOP. And I'm pleased to see this did not happen.

But they promised not to! They did, they did, I read it here!

Rand Paul has been slowly but surely been sounding like a run of the mill politico, not a wave the torch and pitchfork tea flea.

He will have growlings when he goes into why he should cause us to default on our debts, but in the end, he will be Mitchell "Mitch" McConnell, Jr.'s political bitch on the vote for this and will vote against it, but will allow the debt ceiling increase to go through.

The GOP will pressure Rand to toe the line and vote for a debt ceiling increase.

Howard Fineman reported last night that Darrel Issa has said the GOP would pass what they will call a "one-time" increase in the debt ceiling and argue that they had to do it because of Obama, but they won't pass any more.
