The dramatic shift in the Republican Party on immigration continued Tuesday, as Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a conservative tea party icon and possible 2016 presidential contender, endorsed an overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws that would allow the nation’s estimated 11 million illegal immigrants to obtain legalized status. “Immigration will not occur until conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution.

I don’t know if he believes that or not. But I also think he means what he says. He was adamant that he would go along with anything until the border was secured.
A liberal pushing the Life At Conception Act? ROTFLOL
And he was adamant about not allowing Hagel as Secdef...then voted for him.
He cannot be trusted.
Yes, we should.
So, there is nothing here to discuss is there?
Rand Paul was born in Penn. moved to Lake Jackson Texas when he was 5 years old. After graduation from highschool he attended Baylor University. I think he knows Texas pretty well.
It’s a dream, yes.

Well, he's 100% correct that.
Geeze. I do scour every day for good news. Sigh.
They learned it by watching us. We compromise our principles, they see no problem with trashing theirs.
A’yup!
Lost cause. Unfortunately.
I was talking about you and your “all or nothing” POV. It gets us 0bama for term II.
Oh, and the next time you see a Freeper telling us we have to moderate and that principle does not matter, remember this thread.
This is why principle matters.
