everything they have talked about in foreign policy they have been wrong about for 20 years and yet they have the gall to keep pointing fingers. comments that seemed to rock the political world. wall street journal wrote a piece entitled rand paul created isis. well, okay our headline goes too far, but the claim is about as plausible that rand paul s outburst that republican international lists were the rise of the islamic state. a lot to talk about today. willie, i notice the headline theft of copper from the a train disrupts service. is this the 1880s? that s crazy. that s the kind of thing they will steal copper from a band in houses.
mayor daly style machine politician rip large. i need to put that at the end of my sentences. did you see rand paul s interview? rip large. actually let me continue where we began. you like that? yeah. did sound smart. if i could do it with a cattyaccent. what rapped paul said on morning joe in your interview, isis and john mccain are responsible for the rise of the islamic state. isis exists and grew stronger because of the hawks in our party who gave arms indiscriminately and most of those arms were snatched up by isis. the gop presidential candidate said wednesday on morning joe that the wall street journal continues to write in mr. obama s second term the u.s. has largely followed mr. paul s foreign affairs preferences to the letter and the result has
