| Arizona Sen. John McCain partnered with liberal Democrat Ted Kennedy in 2005 to offer illegal immigrants a pathway to citizenship, then allied with border security hardliners during a tough 2010 Republican primary. "Complete the danged fence," McCain cracked in a widely publicized television spot. Less well known is the equally dramatic pivot by Marco Rubio, from 2010 candidate who dismissed McCain’s proposal as “amnesty,” to U.S. senator who on Monday championed reforms McCain said had “very little difference” from his previous plan, which became the blueprint for failed legislation

Boy Rubio evolved on illegal immigration. Bammy evolved on gay marriage. Judas evolved on that guy from Nazareth.

They´re scared of Rubio. They should be. Force the Dems to take an exteme position and turn up the heat. Obama failed on this issue after making many promises. It will be tough but own it.

rUBIO CAN BE CONSIDERED A "JR. RINO." He and Kellye Ayotte think hanging on the coattails of McCain and GrahaM will be beneficial for them. Fools!

Major blunder. Marco hung his star on the wrong bunch.
In the last 35 years Republicans have not received more than 40% of the hispanic vote..and the only way they ever will is to bribe them with free stuff, just like democrats do.
Better to open America to 20 million Europeans to counter the hispanics.

Rubio just launched his 2016 campaign and tossed aside the tea party in the process. He may go the way of Senator Brown, defeated by a lying indian American who also practiced law without a license.
Agree with #3, the Europeans have seen the destruction of socialist policies first hand.

I´m saying quit playing defense. Obama has not delivered on this issue. Our history suggests that people who immigrate here aren´t looking for freebies but opportunity and freedom (from drug wars for example). Have a little faith.
If the only thing standing between a path to citizenship is Obama´s refusal to secure the borders because he doesn´t want Rubio to get the credit that´s a loser for the Democrats. Take it to them.

Interesting article. I wonder how many will read it its entirety. The shining hope for the Republican Party originally supported ilegals by his actions in Florida´s House. He changed colours to win the Senate seat. Now he hs changed again and is on board with McCain, Graham and Schumer.
Regardless of how you might stand on this issue, this man has no core beliefs that he is willing to constantly espouse. It is all about winning the election for himself. People (independents, conservatives, and undecideds)will see through this act and not vote for him if he runs. BUT the Republican Elite, Party Drones and MSM will shove him down everyone´s throat as being the only viable candidate who has any chance of winning.
It will be fascinating to see how many (even those on this board) will sign up for that tour again. I am betting most will and their voices will be constantly shrill and will accuse all those in opposition as being idiots and against saving America.

The Democrats want total amnesty to add 11 million democratic voters to their numbers, of course they deny this and say it´s only because they are compassionate.
OK then, the Republicans should offer to make all 11 million of them citizens immediately if they willingly accept to vote for Republicans for the next ten years.
Who cares who they vote for if your compassionate,right?

Hahahahahahahaha. How easily some of us can be fooled when a hispanic name or a black face are involved.
FTA: "He took a right turn on immigration but he’s slowly coming back to where I think he’s naturally oriented."
In other words, Rubio´s been lying to us all along about his conservatism on immigration. I´m shocked! Shocked I tell you! Hahahahaha.
A question I want someone to answer seriously: why should anyone who has been living in America illegally, in continuous violation and contempt for our laws, be put on ANY path to citizenship? I have no problem with a work permit because the entire illegals issue is directly traceable to a failure by the feds to manage a workable guest worker program, and for anyone who disagrees I have some 10 hour a day jobs picking lettuce in the hot sun with your name on them. But why should anyone who has shown such disregard for American law that they lived here in constant violation of it NOT be barred for life from American citizenship? The Lance Armstrong rule on immigration.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — No one at the Catholic high school that fired Carla Hale in March claimed that she was anything less than a terrific physical education teacher and coach, devoted to the kids and adored by many of them. No one accused her of bringing her personal life into the gym or onto the fields. By nature she’s private. And she loved her job too much to risk it that way. But she lost it nonetheless, and the how is as flabbergasting as the why is infuriating. Rather suddenly, her mother died, and an hour afterward

Before Congress is finished with the Internal Revenue Service, there’s a serious danger some of us are going to wind up feeling sorry for the auditors.And, honestly, that is not the way we were planning on spending the spring. Especially since it appears that there are people making decisions at the I.R.S. who have the intelligence of a wet Frisbee. But, so far, the Congressional hearings of outrage have been even less sympathetic.

Let’s try to come up with some positive thoughts about the recent political fortunes of the Obama White House: • Economy’s getting a little better. Deficit’s dropping. • Bill Clinton had a really terrible second term and look how well things turned out for him. • Nobody in the administration has been caught driving to Canada with Bo the dog strapped to the car roof. It’s been quite a week, what with the I.R.S. scandal, the Benghazi controversy and revelations about the Justice Department’s sweep of The Associated Press’s phone records.

Jason Richwine, the young conservative scholar who co-authored the Heritage Foundation report on the long-term costs of the amnesty bill backed by the “Gang of Eight,” is gone from Heritage. He was purged after The Washington Post unearthed his doctoral dissertation at the JFK School of Government. Richwine’s thesis: IQ tests fairly measure mental ability. The average IQ of immigrants is well below that of white Americans. This difference in IQ is likely to persist through several generations. And the potential consequences of this? “A lack of socioeconomic assimilation among low IQ immigrant groups

The surveillance video shows the crowd dispersing and some falling to the ground before one person in a white T-shirt and dark pants flees. The image of the man isn´t clear but police say they hope someone will recognize him. The wounded included 10 adult men and seven women as well as a boy and a girl, both 10.

On Fox News Sunday this morning, Weekly Standard editor William Kristol defended former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from partisan political attacks over the tragedy in Benghazi, while also urging non-partisan investigations into that incident and the IRS’ targeting of conservative groups during the 2012 election. Kristol denounced American Crossroads’ anti-Hillary ads, asking “What is the point of that?” and calling them “ridiculous.” “There’s no campaign going on,”Kristol continued, adding “Let’s pull the partisanship back. It’s genuine outrage. There should be bipartisan committees investigating both from Congress. So I wish the Republicans would just be quiet,

Daniel Snyder is owner of the Washington pro football team he grew up adoring. Would he ever consider changing the team name that many American Indians and others believe is a racial slur? "We will never change the name of the team," Snyder told USA TODAY Sports this week. "As a lifelong Redskins fan, and I think that the Redskins fans understand the great tradition and what it´s all about and what it means, so we feel pretty fortunate to be just working on next season." What if his football team loses an ongoing federal trademark lawsuit?

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

U.S. Sen. John McCain bucked the party line coming from many of his fellow conservatives this morning, saying suggestions that compare the trio of scandals gripping the White House to Watergate are “overreaching.” “I think it’s overreaching. We need a full and complete investigation and then we will decide the dimensions of it,” said McCain while campaigning for Republican Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez in Dorchester. “It is terrible but we have to have a full investigation before we leap to conclusions.” The maverick’s caution is a sharp contrast to the response of many Republicans
