Rand Paul | The Adobo Chronicles

Washington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Senator Rand Paul, the Republican junior senator from Kentucky is now the Democratic junior senator from Kentucky.

Paul officially left the GOP yesterday and pledged his allegiance to the party of the Donkey. It comes as no surprise to Democrats and many in Washington political circles who clearly saw this coming sooner than later.

The switch came shortly after Paul publicly declared his unequivocal support for President Barack Obama’s recent announcement seeking to re-establish diplomatic relations with and lift the 50-year-old embargo against Cuba. “The embargo obviously never worked,” Paul said, echoing Obama’s announcement two days ago.

Paul has been selectively choosing issues like the incarceration of men of color, voting rights, marijuana legalization, the prison industrial complex, and now Cuba — siding with the Democrats.

Although many believe that Hillary Clinton’s nomination as the Democrats’ standard bearer in the coming 2016 presidential elections is pretty much a foregone conclusion, a challenge to such nomination could be going in favor of the younger, Southern male and brunette senator.

Lexington, Kentucky (The Adobo Chronicles) – Republican Senator Rand Paul made headlines last week when he claimed that scientists are wrong about what they are saying regarding Ebola.

Paul, an opthalmologist, said that it is much easier to catch Ebola than to be infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, contrary to what the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have been saying.

Today, speaking at a political fundraiser in his home state of Kentucky, Paul had some sound advice for Halloween revelers this weekend: wear hazmat suits. “The suits are not only cool costumes but they will protect revelers from being infected with the Ebola virus,” he said.

Hazmat suits are protective clothing and gear used by healthcare providers and first responders when treating patients with Ebola and other infectious diseases or dealing with hazardous situations.

The junior senator said that he was very concerned that many revelers will be dressing up as zombies and that it would be very difficult to tell whether or not they will be splattered with paint, makeup or real blood and other bodily fluids. “It’s better to be safe than sorry,” he added.

The Ebola virus is known to spread through direct contact with an infected person’s blood, saliva, vomit, urine, feces, semen and other body fluids.

Paul’s statement today was consistent with his party’s scare tactics and irrational stance on the Ebola crisis in West Africa, aimed at winning votes during next month’s midterm elections.

Meanwhile, hazmat suit and other industrial protective gear manufacturers have seen a tremendous increase in sales since the first case of Ebola was confirmed in the U.S. and stock shares have gained more than 40%.
