Rand Paul Prisoner Swap

"Mr. President, you love to trade people," Paul said Friday at the Texas GOP convention, according to Politico. “Why don’t we set up a trade? But this time, instead of five Taliban, how about five Democrats? I’m thinking John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, couldn’t we send them to Mexico?”


Paul later said that it was just a joke, except for Pelosi, you can swap her.

  1. Perhaps you blokes have different maths to those we have in Australia. Seems to me that Rand Paul wants to trade five Democrats but his maths only show three. Now, perhaps three Democrats is the equal to Five Republicans and Rand Paul is acknowledging this fact. Perhaps Mr. Paul considers the value equal to one Tea Party guy, or even the total membership of the movement. In any event, just how many Mexicans will he take in exchange? As Mexicans appear to gain entry simply by walking across the border, why not export your entire Congress to Mexico and start again.

    It is a national holiday here today, Queens Birthday William. We shall be in the street shortly singing loyal songs and tugging our forelocks. As one of the more recent arrivals in this great country (only 62 years) I shall be on the side of the republican movement here.

    We are too civilized to throw tea into the harbor, we have no John Hancock or Samuel Adams, no rich merchants who see their profits lost to unjust taxes and government without representation. We, like you have become soft, like you we talk but accept that which is thrown to us from the top table. And like you we complain when those we elected act in a fashion with which we disapprove. They are put there by us, what rights have we to complain when they do that which we elected them to do.?

    Cheers from Aussie, and happy Queens’s birthday to you all

  2. Happy Queen's Birthday Kingston. Perhaps those were the only Democrats whose names he could remember.
