WASHINGTON (CNN)

They will destroy the numbers by going full RINO.
they’ll go even higher IF they will DO WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO!
are you listening GOPe?
Just in time to allow Hildabeast to slip in. (Sorry for the mental image of that comment....)
This shows how misleading and often meaningless survey results can be. My response is “And... ?”
And then endorse Jeb Bush or Chris Christy as 2016 candidates.
Why does “Out of the Jaws of Victory” spring immediately to mind?
Wait until the average America realizes the GOP has no intention of fulfilling their expectations.
They didn’t ask for my opinion.
It’s amazing that Obama’s approval ratings have continued to go down even after his Executive Amnesty Order — a world-historical act of pandering to the Hispanic-American community.
Hispanic-Americans make up 17 percent of our population, so you’d expect that after all the cheering by La Raza and other Hispanic activist groups, there would be at least a slight rise in Obama’s numbers from grateful Hispanic-Americans.
But maybe Latinos and Latinas, particularly the wiser ones, are not so grateful after all at the prospect of their communities being flooded with 11 million additional ethnic brothers and sisters, many of them criminals and unskilled laborers who threaten to take away their jobs.
If that’s the case, what happens to the Democrats’ plans for rebuilding their party by expanding their Hispanic-American interest group if the rest of America, including the Hispanic-Americans already here, oppose their plans and turn to the Republicans?
That will be something for Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Harry Reid, who will be up for reelection in 2016, to ponder. Should they retire and try to get an ambassadorship, or try for one more term and risk ending up beaten and pathetic like Mary Landrieu?
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.[Posted on 11/19/2013 12:16:51 PM by Third Person]
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.[Posted on 01/31/2013 5:08:50 PM PST by xzins]
Rand Paul's immigration speech...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.[Posted on 03/19/2013 7:04:07 AM PDT by Perdogg]
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 reformLatinos, 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...[Posted on 04/21/2013 1:52:42 PM PDT by SoConPubbie]

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][Posted on 08/15/2013 5:44:10 PM PDT by Hoodat]
I think Americans that vote for Republicans are vastly more intelligent than people that vote for dems, therefore, we will be watching the new Congress and responding when they try to start going RINO on us.
Yes we will, for all the good it will do us.
Those who do make calls and let their Conservative thoughts be known, will be called terrorists.
Makes you wonder who the GOPe ever thinks will support one of their presidential candidates again.
If you can’t do more than skim by like 2000, 2004, against guys like Gore and Kerry, or beat Obozo when McCain, and Romey couldn’t, there has to be something wrong.
The GOPe thinks it’s the Tea Party’s fault.
Nope! Guess again...
The lesser of two evils, but not by much.
Well that number should just tank if the American Citizen is paying attention.
The GOP just gave away a billion to keep the wetbacks happy when they cross the border illegally.
Huurah, the GOP is in charge of the money!!! I knew the election would change things /sarc
I think it would be wise to let them all register and give their home, phone, and work addresses. How else can you find them to deport them?
considering the actions of the Demo party and some of the nitwits in it, how hard can it be to improve ones lot?????Now, with the Feinstein traitorous activity, the entire democrat party can go to H*** as far as I’m concerned....if Lucifer will even have them.
Who Congress? That is who we should be deporting.
After we tar and feather them and ride them out of town on a rail. They are a bunch of traitorous basturds (on both sides) giving away our country.
All bogus. Build ‘em up. Tear them down. In walks Hillary.
There is a long game here. We’re not going to get everything we want. We’re up against an entrenched government elite and those that profit directly from government. Every lobbyist and recipient of government largess is against us.
We need to hold Congress and win in 2016.
