that was very nice. yours?
I’m not looking forward to being vindicated. Again.
Sure they do. They believe them no matter what.
You lie until we see that picture!!! Impressive! At least you went large ;-)
IF Paul does that he is dead for the 2016 run.
I stand with Ted
How did Monty Python know Rand Paul so well?
I think this election sent the message that we don’t want amnesty.
Amnesty is coming.
Because the Republican adviser class (the people that brought us Mitt Romney etc) have convinced the party that they can’t win the presidency without it.
The blue bloods are heading for the tall grass
If they don’t behave themselves the Marines will be back in Mexico City within 3 years
Okay, I’ll bite.
Why on G_d’s green earth would the US Marines go to Mexico City?
Been there once.
. It cannot be done; support for Amnesty is permanently disqualifying among conservatives. The correct answer is to secure the border and do nothing else in that legislation - nothing. Then, once the border is verified to be secure, once the American people see that border security is working, other immigration issues (one at a time and starting with enforcing laws against employing illegals, and the fixing the legal immigration system) can be addressed, but only after the borders are verified to be secure under whatever border security law is passed.
Same reason they went there the first time.
To slap the Mexican government upside the head
Thanks SCP!
> Rand Paul defends Kaci Hickox’s constitutional rights at the risk of angering low-information ‘Muricans November 2nd, 2014
Interesting, thanks.
Isn’t the plan an immigration plan? Is that by Free Republic doctrine always de facto amnesty?
Can there be any dealings with immigration that is not amnesty?
It’s no big secret. Cruz’ plan is basically the same as Paul’s — hand out millions of green cards to illegals.

Rand Slams Congress for Funding Egypt's Generals: 'How Does Your Conscience Feel Now?'Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt's military -- even as Cairo's security forces massacre anti-government activists.

Rand Paul On Shutdown: "Even Though It Appeared I Was Participating In It, It Was A Dumb Idea"I said throughout the whole battle that shutting down the government was a dumb idea. Even though it did appear as if I was participating in it, I said it was a dumb idea. And the reason I voted for it, though, is that it's a conundrum. Here's the conundrum. We have a $17 trillion debt and people at home tell me you can't give the president a blank check. We just can't keep raising the debt ceiling without conditions. So unconditionally raising the debt ceiling, nobody at home wants me to vote for that and I can't vote for that. But the conundrum is if I don't we do approach these deadlines. So there is an impasse. In 2011, though, we had this impasse and the president did negotiate. We got the sequester. If we were to extend the sequester from discretionary spending to all the entitlements we would actually fix our problem within a few years.[Posted on 11/19/2013 12:16:51 PM by Third Person]
Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance...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.[Posted on 01/31/2013 5:08:50 PM PST by xzins]
Rand Paul's immigration speech...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.[Posted on 03/19/2013 7:04:07 AM PDT by Perdogg]
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 reformLatinos, 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...[Posted on 04/21/2013 1:52:42 PM PDT by SoConPubbie]
