In an interview with POLITICO, Paul said hell return to Congress this week pushing measures long avoided by his party. He wants to work with liberal Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy and Republicans to eliminate mandatory minimum sentences for pot possession. He wants to carve a compromise immigration plan with an eventual path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, a proposal he believes could be palatable to conservatives. And he believes his ideas along with pushing for less U.S. military intervention in conflicts overseas could help the GOP broaden its tent and appeal to crucial voting blocs that handed Democrats big wins in the West Coast, the Northeast and along the Great Lakes.

I like the term limit idea and it’s the same length I always thought should be used... 6 terms for Congressman and two terms for Senators, or 12 years each.

I guess sometimes we just expect more from the people of KY than they will ever be able to deliver.

NUTS! I had three folks from MX that are legally here sign my petitions to fight illegal immigration plus many more from all over the bloody world! If it were not for IMMIGRANTS I would have had a labor shortage getting signatures during election. They are really pissed off! We found many libs are in agreement with E-Verify for city contracts and many red meat voters go for sanctuary city overthrow. Rand Paul is out of his friggin mind!

So his plan is to reward those who cheated, and punish those following the rules.
Sounds about right.

Paul Ryan did nothing for the ticket in bringing out the grassroots right. I suspect a Romney-RandPaul ticket might have done better.

You know it’s over.
Actual conservatives don’t amount to a third of the Republican Party.
(However, Pro-War-on-Drugs is not conservative. It requires the New Deal Commerce Clause or an amendment at the federal level, neither of which respects original intent, state’s rights or personal liberty and responsibility.)

If we’re going to take in unlimited numbers of Mexicans, then let’s get something for it and just march on Mexico City and take them all along with land and oil and they can just stay put.

Rand is right. A pathway to citizenship is the only reasonable and moral course of action.

Your attempt to turn this into a racial issue just shows your own bigotry.
