Can we agree on something? Immigration reform?

Salon and their friends get it wrong again. In the very first post in this thread, we read that 72% of the folks who voted for Tea Party candidate that trounced Eric Cantor would favor the type of immigration reform that you and Salon favor. The mainstream media was all over the airwaves after the Virginia primary bleating about how immigration reform was dead. But the very next day, there's none other than Rand Paul right there to pick up the baton and keep on charging.

Lots of erroneous logic leaps in this post. Your very first sentence assumes that Brat votes were entirely 'Baggers. Cantor is widely disliked in Virginia for being the smarmy, smug @sshole that he is. The second fallacy is believing that Paul can actually accomplish anything. Shit, he can't even comb his hair.
