Rand Paul has repeatedly denied that he has proposed a pathway to citizenship. He has insisted that he supports a pathway to legal status. Those are very different. The conflicting stories make it hard to figure out what the truth is.

As friends of mine who are "Republicans" before they are "Conservatives" continue to throw Rand Paul under the bus, they get my attention. I wonder to myself what happened to the Republican's so called "11th commandment" about not speaking ill of fellow Republicans? The answer, I think, is simple. Rand Paul is not "one of them". He's not part of the country club Republican GOPe circle. And *that* I find VERY attractive in a presidential candidate. By all means, McCain and Graham (et al), keep calling Rand a "whacko bird". You are opening our eyes.
