What an idiot.
**********************
In the past few months, Rand Paul has destroyed any chance he had at being a nominee for Prez. The guy has proven himself to be as nutty as his dad when it comes to politics.

I don’t understand why he is still being presented as “a TEA Party favorite” by the media. He has lost Conservatives.

In the last two weeks Paul has basically come out for homosexual marriage, illegal immigration, and pro-choice.
I think prior to this lunacy he had a good shot at the GOP nomination, but not anymore.

Bingo. You can make any program work if you enforce the rules. Critics always use the straw man, “We can’t deport 12 million illegals.” But we don’t have to, any more than we have to arrest every speeder on the interstate to enforce speed limits. If you deport SOME and make it very public and energetically work to enforce the laws, the rest get the message.

Personally, I support “work papers” for illegals (the ones that really WANT TO WORK).

Wish we had some around here that WANT TO WORK versus the locals who live off the rest of us and use the system.

How about Rand Paul ending welfare for able-bodied men and women and forcing them to get off their worthless asses and work in the fields, clean the streets and do other things that actually help society.

No, we can’t do that. We must import workers from south of the border so that those welfare bums can live in the lifestyle they have become accustomed to.

However, Rand Paul is fully aware of the fact that if he presses the issue loud enough the “brown” voter base will be fully behind him....especially if he voices his political speeches in Spanish.

Rand Paul has been over the top lately. He’s effectively eliminated himself from my potential candidate list.

“Where do you live where you haven’t noticed them taking over all blue collar work?”

I live in the belly of the beast, the San Francisco Bay Area. Yes, I deeply resent the economic impact of illegals here, California has 12% of the population and 30% of the nation’s welfare caseload. My property taxes and state income taxes are astronomical, all we are working for is to support the welfare cases.

My comment about the bracero program was targeted at the manual labor of picking crops. These were temporary workers, tracked, and made to go back home after the harvest season. A very far cry from the invasion we’ve had to endure from spineless politicians who cave to political pressure instead of upholding the rule of law.

Obviously, the GOP-e has impressed upon him that it is better to care about Mexican invaders than it is to care about Americans. You can get more donations from the corporate scum that way.

PING!
