BATON ROUGE, Louisiana — Inside a packed barroom in the heart of Cajun Country, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) united Louisiana Republicans behind Rep. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) against incumbent Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) ahead of the coming Dec. 6 runoff.
“When I was coming to Louisiana, I heard Jeff Landry [a former congressman who speaks with a thick Cajun accent] was going to be the emcee and I was like: What language does he speak? Is that New Iberian? I’m going to need a translator,” Paul joked as he took the stage inside Huey's Bar. “But I’m excited to be here today and I’m excited to endorse your next senator, Bill Cassidy.”
As Republicans across the country last Tuesday celebrated electoral victory—taking over the U.S. Senate, increasing the U.S. House GOP majority, and making historic gains in governor’s mansions and statehouses nationwide—Republicans here braced for the next four weeks.

They need to educate the voters there....
The upcoming vote on the Keystone pipeline is not because they're looking out for the good of the country - it's because they want to protect the dumbocrats current job.
Granted, if it passes the house and senate - which it probably will this time; the POSOTUS will have to sign it or veto it...either way, it is a victory for the people and the Republican agenda...keep the momentum going!
