Rand Paul will run every election cycle, like his father. He will never be president, like his father.

In a way.

Paul has revealed more of his libertarianism as he came out weak on abortion, the gay agenda, immigration, that can make him look more rino to some who don’t know that he is libertarian or how alike they are on those issues.

He always was just another RINO. Never mind that “becoming” spiel.

Nobody seems to understand where Rand Paul stands or where he comes from.

" Mr. Paul, according to Politico has bolstered his circle of advisors with a mix of conservative insiders like anti-tax Islam advocate Grover Norquist,"

With Norquist advising him, he will come out weak on the Muslim problem too. Paul will be telling us how great the Muslim Brotherhood is.

Norquist has been up to his ears with the muzzies for years and does not even try to conceal that fact. He is an agenda setter, ‘policy’ adviser, lobbyist and overall heavy hitter for the American soil based, Nazi Bund styled, terrorist front group, C.A.I.R. A lot of folks think old Grover is just some Washington DC GOPe talker........he is far more sinister than that.

ACLU and Grover Norquist.

Ted Cruz is the only one left.

That's "every" cycle only if you don't count 1976, 1980, 1984, 1992, 1996, 2000, or 2004. So... less than one third of the cycles. Close!

Rand Paul's immigration speech
...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.

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 reform
Latinos, 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...
