No. Your video was almost 6 minutes long... (Long version of Bimbo Palin) My video only contained a segment from your video ("The Chris Christie Campaign Ad", by Bimbo Palin)
The more America watches Sarah Palin, the more they wretch from her words. I hope she keeps campaigning for Christie!

Sen. Paul was trying to build the case that it is illegal for President Obama to delay parts of the ACA. Paul said, “The way our country works is that legislation is written by Congress, passed by your representatives, the president doesn't get to write legislation, and it’s illegal and unconstitutional for him to change legislation himself.”
Rand Paul doesn't understand what the role of the president is. The Executive Branch is in charge of implementing the law. The whole problem with Sen. Paul’s argument is that he referred to the ACA as legislation, but it isn't legislation. The Affordable Care Act is the law, and Executive Branch has been constitutionally given the power to implement the law. This means that Rand Paul exhibited not only an ignorance of the constitution, but doesn’t know what the Executive Branch actually does. The president doesn't write or change legislation. He implements the law. The law is not legislation.

The law has specific dates when it is implemented, he issued waivers to exempt certain groups from the law that was written. His decision to not implement laws on certain groups is nullifying parts of the legislation for certain groups. That isn't ignorance, it's pointing out the obvious that legislators can write all the laws they want, once it's enacted, the legislation can look completely different than the law written. It is obviously enforced based on the presidents political preferences.
"The interesting thing about voting patterns now is in this last election African-Americans voted at a higher percentage than whites in almost every one of the states that were under the special provisions of the federal government. So really, I don't think there is objective evidence that we're precluding African-Americans from voting any longer."
-- Sen. Rand Paul

Ron Paul told CNN that Christie “offers nothing” because he needed to “believe in something and understand economics or you just keep doing the same things and deficits keep running up.”

Louisiana Voters Prefer Hillary Clinton Over Bobby Jindal in '16
Bobby Jindal, the once popular governor who was highly touted as a future presidential prospect, has governed the state so poorly that only 28 percent of Louisiana voters approve of his job performance as compared to 59 percent who disapprove of his performance as governor.
Louisiana voters would choose Clinton over Jindal by a 47-40 margin if the election were held today. Nearly one in five Louisiana Republicans would prefer Hillary Clinton to their governor.
Today's Republicans are so bad that even Chris Christie and Rand Paul, also fare poorly. Rand Paul leads a hypothetical contest with Clinton 45-44, while Chris Christie trails Clinton 42-41.
Jindal’s performance versus Clinton is similar to neighboring Texas’ Governor Rick Perry’s showing. Hillary Clinton would defeat Perry 48-44 in Texas.

Lol...fare poorly? Rand Paul, son of Ron Paul, and the junior senator from Kentucky leads the former First Lady of the United State, former First Lady of Arkansas, former Secretary of State, and former New York State Senator, and 2008 presidential candidate. Hmmmm....fares poorly?

Yes she is impressive isn't she! And Rand Paul... um... he had a infamous father.

I guess not as impressive as the junior senator from Kentucky in the eyes of the majority of Louisiana's citizens. Especially since her husband won Louisiana in 1992 and 1996, she's already trailing a junior senator in public opinion polls.
Rand Paul says, he doesn't want US weapons to be used to kill Christians in Syria. (Muslims... not so much)
Quoted Text
Sen. Rand Paul said on Tuesday that an attack on Syria would be a bad idea if U.S. weapons were “used to kill Christians.”
In an interview with conservative radio host Mike Huckabee, Paul said that President Barack Obama needed to understand that “there are 2 million Christians living in Syria, more than just about any place in the Middle East.”
“And I just don’t want to see my kids or weapons of the United States being used to kill Christians in Syria,”

He doesn't want to arm them at all, the rebels are massacring Christians over there and that is a fact, the video I posted showed Obama's buddies beheading 3 priests, are you saying you support that box, do you support arming and funding those people?

Nope! Why would you assume that I do?
