Did you even glance at the article?
"Paul, who has tried to broaden the GOP’s appeal to African-Americans, also joined Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) and other leading Democrats"
Paul is also pro-amnesty, and has called for conservatives to "soften" on social issues. So don't try to tell me he is conservative.
Rand Paul is not pro amnesty and that’s fine with me if he softens on social issues to a degree. Personally I’m pro life and believe marriage is between one man and one woman, but some on the right get too nuts over social issues. When I see terms such as fudgepackers or fags or queers used I have issues with that. It’s unChristian to denigrate anyone with those kinds of terms IMHO.
