Not really apples-to-apples, though. The Rand Paul cover is a sliding bit of plastic, vs just an adhesive strip.

The Rand Paul cover is a campaign contribution.

edit: Not sure why this is getting downvoted. The price difference is unlikely to have much to do with the physical costs involved. Political campaign stores typically have inflated prices as they're fundraising efforts.

It's more an attempt to clarify the point (which appears to have worked).

Hahaha is rsync's comment for real? Also, how meta can we get here?

Considering the Rand version is not a sticker, they are not the same..

Nope, this has been around for a while. It's not an original idea, but it isn't meant to be. He didn't "steal" it anymore than he stole campaign yard signs or promotional pens.

Does your version help finance Rand Paul's next campaign? I didn't think so, so nope, they are different.

I'm obviously kidding around.
