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.

	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

The real Reince Priebus Ping!

"What you have is a consensus in the party that we need immigration reform, and everyone agrees on it."

Everyone except the base. "Blather, Reince, Repeat" forgot about us. As usual.

Instead of doing the right thing, Reince Priebus is only too happy to throw out distractions like attacking NBC and CNN over their Clinton Mini-series while pushing Amnesty for Illegal Aliens.

Just another GOP-E Traitor!

He should take his fingers out of his ears.

It depends on what the meaning of “is” is.

HOW ABOUT ENFORCING THE LAW and CONSTITUTION for once???

Shouldn’t that read, “GOP not divided over capitulating to law breakers after generations of refusing to uphold the rule of law?”

This jerkoff should have resigned in disgrace the day after the communist was reelected.

Instead, the head of the blue blood country club faction of the Washingtonians is wagging the dog talking about a goddamned HILLARY! tv show while conspiring to legalize 11 million illegal alien criminal invaders to further decrease American wages and fatten the bottom line of his disgusting fellow RNC minions and their greedy pulled back wives

The day of reckoning for the political class in DC is coming, the States will take matters into their own hands soon and adopt Amendments to dismantle the federal apparatus and establish term limits.

‘...we need immigration reform, and everyone agrees on it.”

We’v needed “immigration reform” for 30 years, no one did a thing. Now Obama says we need it, and everyone suddenly agrees?

[The_Media_never_lie]

This Priebus guy must be spending lots of time on Venus lately.

[Moorings]

I wonder what Rand Paul got in return for lending his name to the stupidity? Pre-approval from the GOP-e to be a presidential candidate??

Rinse Prefuse is doing the "Baghdad Bob" liberal propaganda lies to fool the uninformed.

[Caipirabob]

Yeah, but the GOP is divided on existing by the next election or not. Right now, with RINOs I’m leaning towards NOT.

He sounds like Pauline Kael. It’s embarrassing to feel any connection at all to GOP-E homos as feckless as Prince Rince.
