The plan is amnesty. It stinks. It's smoke and mirrors. Rubio is either an idiot (which I don't think) or he's been corrupted by the McCain/Graham cabal. Don't be distracted by the inside the beltway analysis presented here where Rubio is given props for having the discussion and getting out front etc, etc. That's the kind of stuff D.C. insiders talk and care about. The bill has no enforcement teeth, it's fundamentally no different than any of the previous amnesty bills and Rubio is the face of the bill. That tells us all we need to know about Marco.

Rubio is toast because of this, and well he should be.

A true down the rabbit hole moment. Where else but "liberal white guilt" America do people show up illegally and then demand to become citizens? What amazing racism on display by these Hispanics as well. They want to take the jobs away from Black Americans primarily and have the White Americans pay for welfare, medicaid, food stamps, college loans, no interest and no down payment mortgages to subsidize their middle class lifestyle. Insane.

can't equal the lauditory record of responsible, law abiding, civilized conduct while owning and operating lethal weapons. Way to go white gun owners of America. Congratulations and keep up the good work.

The gun violence rate in the Black community is ten times higher than in the white community. Ten times. Gun violence among American whites is lower than the lowest countries in Europe- yet we white Americans own most of the guns and staggeringly more than the white Europeans. That is truly remarkable. Therefore, who are the problem people when it comes to gun violence in America? Should white Americans have to give up their rights because Black Americans misbehave and abuse ownership of firearms? Should the Second Amendment be limited only to white people? Why hasn't Bloomberg proposed this? He's for controlling some speech on Twitter and Facebook, for our own good. Why not do the same for Black people, and anyone else who...

Liberal bias? No. Just a logical conclusion based on watching the GOP poohbahs for half a century. That you are apparently unaware of the hostility that the Bush wing of the party has for conservatives, Tea Partiers and libertarians shows that you don't know what you are talking about. The fact that the GOP poohbahs/Bush wing have been talking the talk for at least 50 years, yet never done any actual "outreach" to minorities is further proof of my statement, and once again shows that you don't know what you are talking about. I suspect YOU may be one of the elitist poohbahs attempting to distract from these facts by calling names.

Nice try at equivocating, but no sale.

Thank you for that analysis Mr. Priebus./s I think Dr. Sowell has politely hit on the GOP's Achilles' heel. The guys who wrote this report don't know or interact with anyone outside their elite circles. Sure, they have a few token minorities among them. JEB's Mexican wifre for example. Otherwise they don't know- or want to know in my opinion based on watching them for 50 years- any "persons of color". That goes double for conservative Tea Party libertarian types. These out of touch elitists really, really abhor white "Joe Sixpack" types. The GOP will never change. We need a third party, NOW.

Rove seems too sensitive about Palin's remarks, IMO and his criticisms of her come off as petty and stale. Also, he didn't address her other equally important point about the beltway consultant class not winning elections. She is exactly right on that point and is not the only one saying so. Many people & analysts are talking about the poor track record of these consultants, and Rove is not just one of them, but after losing last year he set up an organization to influence selection of candidates. He should buck up [act like a man is what it means] and admit his own mistakes.

Lincoln was constantly talking out of both sides of his mouth. Telling his audiences what they wanted to hear. It appears you've fallen into the trap of cherry picking Lincoln quotes to support your postive opinion of Lincoln.

If his beliefs were hidden then how can anyone say with accuracy what he thought? Obviously they cannot and all the sentimentalizing about how Lincoln felt about Blacks is nothing anyone can rely on. It's nothing but feel good thinking. It's not history.
