The bottom line is that Obama, the Justice Department, and the entire executive branch are on Mexico's side in this dispute. On the other hand, the majority of the American people are with Arizona; a recent Wall Street Journal poll found that 64 percent of Americans support the law.
Susan Ferrechio - Ron Paul responds to Rand controversy
“Politics can sometimes be pretty nasty and I think there is a lot of resentment because all of a sudden he became a star and this offended a lot of people and it was orchestrated that we’ve got to knock him down a peg. We don’t want people believing in liberty, believing in the market and property rights. Oh no, we can’t do that. So, this is the result of that.”
I asked Ron Paul if he felt his son could recover from the controversy and I got an earful.
“I don’t think he has anything to recover from,” Ron Paul said. “That implies that there has been some terrible thing. Go out in Kentucky and talk to the people. He just got a referendum, he gets 59 percent of the vote and you are talking about recovery? That’s an insult. I just don’t understand that kind of stuff. That’s just not fair.”
Mark Tapscott - More Rand flaps to come and not just in Kentucky
Many more of the Tea Party endorsed candidates who will gain visibility in the congressional campaign in coming months will, like Paul, be making their first-ever foray in seeking elective office. Like babes, they will go into brutal hand-to-hand combat with Establishment GOP, then Democratic opponents and their sympathetic journos, all of whom are seasoned veterans.
Such campaigns are often not pretty, and more than a few of the first-time office-seekers will go away from their experiences embittered and more angry than ever.
For the Washington and New York sophisticates, however, there will be endless opportunities to howl in grinning protest, as there always are for city slickers when the hayseeds come to town and have no idea that those signs saying "Tea Partiers Need Not Apply" are meant for them.
Chris Stirewalt - Is Rand Paul a racist?
There is no reason to believe that Paul himself is racist. And there’s certainly no reason to believe that he finds segregation morally justifiable.
A top House Republican may file an ethics complaint against Rep. Joe Sestak if he refuses to give more information about the Obama administration's alleged effort to get him to quit Pennsylvania's Democratic Senate primary in exchange for a job.
