  I, for one, am for immigration reform. … That being said, I’m worried that the bill before us won’t pass.... [Rand Paul: I hate to say it, but the immigration bill is a little bit like ObamaCare right now ]

  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... [Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform]

• ...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said. [Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance]

  One day after announcing on his radio show that he is "truly considering" running in 2014 for the U.S. Senate seat now held by New Jersey's Frank Lautenberg, Rivera amped up his message today in a television interview and a column on the Fox News Latino website... a moderate Republican who is fiscally conservative but also supports gay marriage and Roe v. Wade... [Geraldo Rivera declares himself a 'moderate Republican' as he eyes U.S. Senate run]

McCain may be confused; he may actually be getting senile.

He might be, but I just think he is a POS, SOB.

It is very difficult to think of anything nice to say about anyone who would work with Chuck Schumer in determining who should be eligible for U.S. citizenship.

Who can ever forget Schumer's defense of Janet Reno's unleashing masked thugs to kill civilians in Waco; not to mention his support of every Leftist foray since.

“But I think Republicans realize the implications for the future of the Republican Party in America if we don’t get this issue behind us,” McCain said Oh YES we DO Senior McCain, yes we do!

[hattend]

If McLame wants to tell the House what to do, perhaps he should give up his Senate seat and run for the House.

Otherwise, STFU.
