SEE CANDIDATE RUN …
There’s a video that’s gone viral of U.S. Sen. Rand Paul campaigning in early-voting Iowa with establishment “Republican” Steve King – a lawmaker we’ve written about in the past.
In the clip, a pair of Mexican immigrants named Erika Andiola and Cesar Vargas approach the two politicians – although Paul quickly skedaddles before the confrontation can begin.
A bewildered King is left to fend for himself, at which point Andiola hands him her identification and tells him to “rip it” – given his opposition to U.S. president Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy.
“I know you want to get rid of DACA, so I want to give you the opportunity ’cause you really want to get rid of it, just rip mine,” Andiola says.
Thereafter ensues a conversation in which King tells Andiola “you’re very good at English.”
“I was raised in the United States,” she replies.
“Right, so you can understand the English language,” King says.
Ouch.
Andiola, of course, has a compelling personal narrative – fleeing an abusive father through the desert to wind up in America, where she has lived since she was 11. She’s attended Arizona State University and even worked on Capitol Hill. Meanwhile Varga has passed the New York bar, but can’t practice law because of his status.
Anyway, here’s the clip …

Our only question?
Who told Paul that a vertical-striped pastel shirt was a good idea? Seriously man … if you’re gonna be a human blur rushing out of an uncomfortable situation, at least be a nondescript blur.

Rand Paul: Intellectual coward
Do you realize how long it can take Wikipedia to load up on a cell phone? Poor Rand didn’t have enough time to copy/paste a response.
Looks like Rand Paul almost choked on his food when he hear the woman say who she was. Person next to him tells him to get the hell out of there. He can’t stand the heat. If he is out with Steve King, he must be desperate.
Hear = heard
Where’s the Rand Paul asshole, Killery?
Oh, but don’t you see? Rand was hurrying off to remove more cataracts from poor people for free!
He’s the man! He needs a cape, too!
So where are our abused children to flee to, Canada? Those people in one moment bitch about the conditions in Mexico, yet pack all their Socialist, corrupt BS in their luggage and come here waving Mexican flags and acting like they are from the land of OZ. I wonder if any of them have thought about changing their country/culture for the better so they could stay? When people going to figure out they don’t want to be Americans, that they are here for the freebies?
No supporter of Ravenel’s should throw stones in regard to sartorial decisions by any other candidate.

It is Ralph Lauren. I know that because I have the same shirt and I quickly noticed it. In one frontal shot, you can see the lapel with the trademark horse.
BRAVO Johnny 1986………….BRAVO……..
Now…..what should Wil Folks do to offer a prize for A “HORSE SHOW”….?
Gee, as soon as this author took another look at Rand having decided his sins were inconsequential, he runs away from these Mexicans mid bite of his BBQ sandwhich. WTF?
Here is this author’s position on Mexico. If your are Mexican wanting to be US citizens, get in line. Enforce the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA). Make it more difficult to cross our southern border with longer detentions to at least vaccinate them and teach them some manners before forcing the Government of Mexico to take back Mexico’s problems. Bush I and II purposely ignored enforcing IRCA’s provisions which called for:
required employers to attest to their employees’ immigration status;
made it illegal to hire or recruit illegal immigrants knowingly;
legalized certain seasonal agricultural illegal immigrants, and;
legalized illegal immigrants who entered the United States before January 1, 1982 and had resided there continuously with the penalty of a fine, back taxes due, and admission of guilt; candidates were required to prove that they were not guilty of crimes, that they were in the country before January 1, 1982, and that they possessed minimal knowledge about U.S. history, government, and the English language.
IRCA provided amnesty for 3 million illegal immigrants, in return for increased border security and penalties for companies “knowingly” hiring illegal immigrants.
Since Andiola (the Dreamer girl) is a citizen of Mexico, maybe she can induce members of her own parliament not to slap Americans in jail who cross into Mexico illegally. In fact, in the spirit of reciprocity and neighborliness would suggest they have offices all along the coast offering Mexican-government-paid programs that wayward Amercians are entitled to, as well as English-speaking translators for Gringos.
