Passing “Comprehensive Invasion Reform” will spell the end of the Union. What is the point? Each state will have to protect it’s own sovereignty. The people will figure out FEDGOV™ is the real enemy. It is every state for itself. The UniParty will be stopped.

Lets be honest. We both know. We are on FR and we know.

We HOPE they will. We know they won’t. And in 2 years the same excuses will send most running to the polls to defend against Hillary and not lose this majority because, repeat it with me everyone, “It’s the most election ever! and you hate america unless we elect these RINOS. But NEXT election we will hold their feet to the fire!”

Because thats what ‘we’ do now. We repeat our mistakes and call it conservative because we are too scared to brake the cycle of RINO addiction for a chance at conservatism.

The above is true. It was true last election, and all before going back to Reagan.

I guess I didn’t.

Why? Are the articles in direct opposition to the headlines?

Ryan is tone deaf. And a moron.

I wonder how much the traitors at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are paying little Eddie Munster to betray his country?

The President Don O’bastard I threatens congress with an unconstitutional power grab and the Republicans tell him don’t worry we’ll do your dirty work for you. And they ask me why I am cynical.

Rand Slams Congress for Funding Egypt's Generals: 'How Does Your Conscience Feel Now?'
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 Christian-murdering jihadists]

Rand Paul On Shutdown: "Even Though It Appeared I Was Participating In It, It Was A Dumb Idea"
I said throughout the whole battle that shutting down the government was a dumb idea. Even though it did appear as if I was participating in it, I said it was a dumb idea. And the reason I voted for it, though, is that it's a conundrum. Here's the conundrum. We have a $17 trillion debt and people at home tell me you can't give the president a blank check. We just can't keep raising the debt ceiling without conditions. So unconditionally raising the debt ceiling, nobody at home wants me to vote for that and I can't vote for that. But the conundrum is if I don't we do approach these deadlines. So there is an impasse. In 2011, though, we had this impasse and the president did negotiate. We got the sequester. If we were to extend the sequester from discretionary spending to all the entitlements we would actually fix our problem within a few years.

Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance
...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.

Rand Paul's immigration speech
...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.

Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform
Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...

Paul Ryan truly is a buffoon and an idiot! Here we are, not even 48 hours from the polls closing on Nov 4, and Ryan, Boner and McConnell are already trying to squander & waste the tremendous results & momentum from the Repubs shellacking of 0dumb0 and the democRATS. None of the GOP candidates that won, either as upsets or as expected, ran on anything related to immigration reform or amnesty. The GOP-e is already trying to change the reasons & passions which drove this election for the Repubs. Ryan should STFU!

I thought the R’s won because people, left and right, don’t want the invasion. What is it these folks don’t get?

There are people who fall for 419 scams that are less delusional than some members of the GOP when it comes to immigration.

Is it that they love money so much or do they just hate native born Americans and legal immigrants that much?

Well, they said ALL of this BEFORE the polls ever opened. Stuff was in all the media. So did no one pay attention or did they think if they just wished hard enough like the Kid in AI with the Blue Fairy, that the promises the GOP leadership made to pass Amnesty would go away when ‘we’ rewarded them for it?

And before anyone here jumps me, tell yourselves what the frig you EXPECTED to happen. Don’t tell me. Tell yourselves. Maybe next time you’ll listen.

I have decided to be in favor of one micro-immigration reform.

I support all illegals being permitted to move into Paul Ryan’s house, to share his income, his car, his office, his pension, his medical coverage, his everything. We will set up a bus to drive them there and he gets to pay the gas and salary of the bus driver.

Yes.
Further, I can’t see any Republican immigration bill being passed without the support of the strongest anti-amnesty Representatives and Senators.
No matter what was in the bill it would be considered ‘amnesty’ otherwise.

Anyone in the military or a veteran had better buckle up for a horrid two years. This guy has too much power. He will cut all pay raises for the troops and stop COLAs for military retirees and forget the VA compensation for veterans. I think anyone in the military had better save up now because it is going to be ugly!!!! Ryan hates the military especially.
