Contrary to news reports, comprehensive immigration reform is not splintering the Republican Party, Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, tells Newsmax TV.
"It's bizarre. I don't find it to be dividing the party," Priebus tells Newsmax in an exclusive interview. "What you have is a consensus in the party that we need immigration reform, and everyone agrees on it."He notes how the issue has brought together members of the party with such divergent views as Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

He sounds like Pauline Kael. It’s embarrassing to feel any connection at all to GOP-E homos as feckless as Prince Rince.
And his head out of Obama's ass.
The division over immigration reform isn’t between Republican politicians, its between Republican voters and Republican politicians.
Don’t be fooled by Priebus’s tricks, he is trying to divert attention from the amnesty cave and the caves on taxes already agreed to under Boehner’s leadership in the House and other caves on spending to come in the future.
This is also a distraction from the failure of Republicans in Congress to take the lead in defunding Obamacare, instead of making emotional speeches against it promising to do something after the next election.

Mister Priebus is choosing to ignore the consensus within our party, which is that we DO NOT WANT AMNESTY for ILLEGAL ALIENS!
Furthermore, we do not especially like being ignored, mis-represented, and thought to be fools because Priebus somehow thinks he knows better than we just what is good for the GOP and our fine Country.
Job one?
Replace Priebus!
The GOP leaders, and I use the word “leaders” lightly, just cannot surrender the country to the Democratic Socialist Party fast enough.
The letters g...o...p...e and r...i...n...o... come to mind.
Men are from Mars, Priebus is from Uranus.
As different as Rand Paul and Lindsay Graham? Is that a joke?
Rand Paul is, like many libertarians, completely delusional about the appeal of small government conservatism to non-white groups. It’s disappointing because Paul has at times expressed conservative views on immigration, but now seems to be towing the libertarian line.
Graham is a scum bag who went before a bunch of leftwing professional ethnic grievance hustlers (La Raza was it???) and basically said anyone who doesn’t support amnesty and never ending mass immigration is a ‘bigot.’ It’s not enough for him to hold liberal views on immigration, but he also has to adopt the Left’s vile rhetoric and debate tactics.
Yet to this clown Priebus, these two proponents of unending mass immigration represent diverging views on immigration.
Alleged public support for comprehensive immigration reform of the Schumer-Rubio type is built on lies and omissions. They lie and say it will end illegal immigration and that tough enforcement will be a part of the deal. And they omit and hide the fact that the bill would massively increase legal immigration, and allow criminal illegal aliens to be legalized too.
That Priebus is a lying clown should come as no surprise after he called ‘self deportation’ a horrific phrase. All self deportation consists of after all is actually enforcing exiting laws, and passing new laws to make it harder for illegals to work and use public services. And now the GOP can’t even support that?

To say what he said, you either have to be completely ignorant of what rank and file Republicans think, or a world class liar. One or the other. Let me put it this way, I don’t think the man is ignorant.
Can we get this put in Breaking News to counter the “Look Over There” Distraction article “Priebus Hits a Home Run” that is already in Breaking News?
. “What you have is a consensus in the party that we need immigration reform, and everyone agrees on it”
.” Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled” Michael Crichton
Constituents Unload on Immigration at Lynn Jenkins Town Hall
A standing-room-only crowd of about 100 people at a town hall forum hosted by House GOP conference vice chair Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-KS) Wednesday overwhelmingly voiced their opposition to amnesty, or any pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants in America, the Topeka Capital-Journal reports.
Is that Crichton quote from State of Fear?
Gotta wonder if the powers-that-be offed him for his severe disparagement of the greenies and the hollyweenies in that book.
