Rand Paul Takes Jab at Chris Christie
Bridges.
— Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), when asked in a recent interview to name one word when he thinks of New Jersey Gov.

Paul: Use Your ‘Big Head’ to Fix Government
Don’t be depressed with how bad government is. Use your ingenuity, use your big head to think of solutions the marketplace can figure out, that the idiots and trolls in Washington will never come up with.

Paul: GOP Should Not Be ‘Democrat Light’

Compounding his contemptible behavior, of course, is the fact that Paul’s slander is based on half-truths and outright lies, nearly all of which went unchallenged on “Meet the Press,” as usual.
Paul: Unemployment Benefit Extension a ‘Disservice’ to Workers
I do support unemployment benefits for the 26 weeks that they’re paid for. If you extend it beyond that, you do a disservice to these workers.

Sen. Rand Paul Caught Plagiarizing from Wikipedia, Reads Entry on ‘Gattaca’ from Teleprompter at Cuccinelli Event
