Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants... bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society. Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors. [but he’s not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]
...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.

...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let’s start that conversation by acknowledging we aren’t going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt’s military — even as Cairo’s security forces massacre anti-government activists.
[by “anti-government activists” is meant church-burning jihadists]
See tag line.
Cruz did the right thing which was to stall long enough to explain why this is a disaster; Boehner did not (not allowing a vote on the Senate bill). The goal in this instance was to go down screaming "I'm warning you, it won't work!!!" and then let it fail right on time. Delaying it only pushes the pain beyond 2014. Believe me, if Democrat poll numbers start to slide, they'll switch memes in a hurry, finding some way to blame Republicans for this disaster.
-— ... -— Repeal Uniform Child Abduction Prevention Act (UCAPA). Www.ucapa.us. The law (first signed by Sebelius off course; now law in 15 plus States - Repeal Uniform Child Abduction Prevention Act (UCAPA). Www.ucapa.us.
The poll is of ADULTS polled via phone.
That alone should tell you it’s less than worthless — CNN is trying to formulate people’s opinions, at the behest of their leader...
LOL! Stealing’ it.
GREAT!
musicman is our very best!
He works so hard and works long hours!!
Political polls of anyone but registered voters are worthless. “Adults” can include convicted felons, the insane, illegal aliens, etc.
Even if that wasn’t a BS poll I would want the GOP to act like the opposition. THEN when the public wakes up and gets hurt/educated, they will not have any more love for the Democrats or their press.
The donks will get the House back.
“Dewey Defeats Truman!”
really only need to say: consider the source!
If Republicans weren’t so lame-brained they could still hold onto the House in 2014, because all but about 35 district are “in the bag” for one party already. There is no longer much national competition for the House. We can be sure that few Democrat incumbents will lose unless turnout is really poor in 2014.
That’s where Jefferson was wrong and Nikita Khrushchev was right. Jefferson overestimated the intellectual ability of the American people. Ol’ Nikita knew just where the brain level stops in favor of socialism.
The people who will be hurt by so-called obamacare are already pretty much the base of the Republican Party, and the Democrats know that and are unworried about maintaining the socialist future. The thousand years of darkness that Reagan spoke about has begun.
It sound like Paul is being Paul. You know, he endorsed McC months ago.
