I have a hard time believing that you were ever a Rand fan in the first place, which is OK. As far as immigration reform goes, Rand has got to be smart and play to suppress Hispanic turnout in the general. If you read my post a few posts earlier on here, you will see that Rand is not some open borders, amnesty guy. Yes, he doesn’t think that rounding up and deporting all illegals is viable... neither do I, many conservatives and many fellow FReepers. Rand Paul does not believe that illegals are entitled to one cent of federal or state funds, I think we all agree on that here.
Why I like Rand?
Rand Paul is 100% strong against abortion. National Journal ranks him as near the top of the GOP as far as social policy goes, which is awesome for a politician who is liberty leaning. Here’s something, you dont like Rand right? Go look at his record as Senator and see if there is one thing that you disagree with? You may be surprised how much you like him afterall.
Gasp! Can you imagine someone who wouldn't be? /s
"which is OK."
I appreciate your generous permission.

Better read the linked L.A Times article. "Some form of legal status to illegal immigrants".....The GOP is anti-immigrant, must retool its image to attract illegals, has pushed immigrants away with harsh rhetoric....

You really are a textbook campaign commercial. You Paulites are nothing if not tenacious true-believers, as we've seen all along.
Look, you can save pushing this guy at me. I'll have no part of him.
