Interesting metaphors as Rand Paul weighs in.
POLITCO -The “Lord of the Rings” metaphors crept into the debt-limit fight on Thursday, as tea-party heroes fired back at Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) who mocked members of the conservative grassroots movement as “tea-party hobbits.”

  5. There was a time long ago I admired John McCain. Those days are long gone...
