Rand Paul: Let's Compromise on Amnesty
Breitbart ^ | June 11, 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 06/12/2014 12:05:26 AM PDT by lilyramone

A day after House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) lost his primary after Dave Brat hammered him on amnesty, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) embraced "immigration reform" on a conference call with Michael Bloomberg's pro-amnesty group and Grover Norquist.

Paul, a potential 2016 contender, reportedly said that "amnesty is a word that’s trapped us," and, according to CNN, emphasized, "If you want immigration reform, there has to be openness to compromise." Earlier on Wednesday, talk radio host Rush Limbaugh declared that when politicians in Washington say "immigration reform" what they really mean is "amnesty."

RE :”My compromise is we offer illegals a free ticket home - if they take it - we don’t arrest them”

Could you win the 2016 election and sign that order?

Eventually there will be so many of them here that they wont be interested in compromise. I hope they don't make our descendants live in cages.

Tough guy, you find ONE post in the 1,000s I’ve posted here where I ever promoted Mitt Romney. One.

And as bad as Romney is or Paul may be, if you think Obama or any Clinton is better, you’ve got real problems.

Do you hate Ronald Reagan for signing amnesty into law as POTUS? Do you hate Ronald Reagan for signing abortion into law or signing no fault divorce into law as governor of CA?

Good luck finding a pure (by your standard, God knows what that is) candidate that would win more than 1 state in a POTUS election.

You must be one of them “scary smart” types. Lord knows, I’m quaking.

Got another misplaced-anger-brainiac-type pooping out of their mouth on the loose...

Is “Old Country Buffet” closed today? Or did the batteries on “the clicker” die?

Hmmm...

Kensington isn’t South Philly. I grew up near there.

Tough area.

ENFORCE THE RULES AS THEY ARE!!! Please tell me what the hell needs reformed? If anything we need to toss out the “reforms” of the 1960s and get back to a sane immigration policy.

Weird rambling.

For a guy pushing Rand Paul, you sure don’t want to talk about it.

You need help. Where did I mention Rand Paul in this thread?

Your attempts at projecting fail.

You used to give your lunch money to the school bully didn't you sick.... OK... I know you didn't, but it feels like that's what you're suggesting.

Take a deep breath, we don't have to surrender to every 3rd world person who wants to break into our country. Mexico doesn't have 'open boarders'... no one does. Name one country that's so afraid of the 3rd world that they drop their boarders let them come in and run over everything?

Really, name one.

Surely we can muster the great courage of Mexico and control our borders like they do, right?

Go back and read it,
I said that those were both the GOP and Dems positions on illegal immigration. I wasn't giving advice.

I was clarifying a rhetorical question(point) about what pro-amnesty Rs are saying.

I like the fact that it gives you little map slices of the area in question, so you can get an idea of the distances involved.

My beef with it is - if you’re going to pretend you’re from South Philly... FILM it in South Philly.

I’m completely pro-compromise.

I will agree to use air-conditioned buses instead of boxcars. How fair is THAT?

RE :”Is “Old Country Buffet” closed today? Or did the batteries on “the clicker” die? Hmmm...”

That was Tuesday. I just shared it with you all today.
I got so I like the sport in it when I get dumb and a bit obnoxious pings like that. Its like having a small poodle bark and nip at me and getting to kick it.

Him challenging me to call up Ben Cardin, Barbara Mikulski and Elijah Cummings and demanding that they impeach Obama (I obviously go nothing better to do) because Obama wont get impeached if I don't call them deserved a special response.

I don't disagree with him that Obama wont get impeached if I don't call those three up, BTW

Yes!

It’s like “Sunny in Philadelphia” - not filmed (outside of some exterior shots in the opening credits) in PHI.

DUH!!!

You have to question the mental capacities of some of the posters.

Like this ‘ansel12’ that’s trying to play with me. The person CLEARLY is in some type of a contrarian mood today and decided to take it out on me. For what reason? No idea. I suspect someone’s reading him/her things and typing replies for him/her.

To quote the late, great Joe Pyne: “If brains were dynamite, you couldn’t blow your nose!”

Now, run along you colossal bore.

Post 18 said “Rand Paul”.

You responded to the Rand Paul mention with your own opinion about Rand Paul.

If you weren’t expressing your willingness to vote for Rand Paul, then what was it about?

RE :”You have to question the mental capacities of some of the posters’

Oh you RINO lovers always look down on us.
There is no proof that the world is round or over 200 years old.

You must take an oath NOT vote FOR any Republican who gets the nomination unless its Sarah Palin or Ted Cruz.

Eventually things will get bad enough in the US after a few more Dem POTUSes that those two will get elected or a civil war will start, fixing everything.

You will never know that it wont work if you don't try it.
