CNN's Ashley Killough (CNN) – Sen. Rand Paul on Saturday made a prediction that plenty of Democrats would love to see come true, but Republicans hope to avoid: “Texas will be a Democratic state within 10 years if you don't change.”
The Kentucky Republican, who was in Houston at a dinner with GOP Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, continued to push his message for change within the Republican Party, bringing that gospel straight to one of the most reliably red states in the country and his former home.


“That doesn't mean we give up on what we believe in, but it means we have to be a more welcoming party,” Paul said. “We have to welcome people of all races. We need to welcome people of all classes - business class, working class.”
That diversity is needed not just along ethnic lines, but in appearances, too, he said.
“We need to have people with ties and without ties, with tattoos and without tattoos; with earrings, without earrings,” he said. “We need a more diverse party. We need a party that looks like America.”
Paul grew up in the Houston area, where his father, Ron Paul, was an obstetrician who later went on to become a longtime congressman and three-time presidential candidate. Rand Paul went to Baylor University in Waco.
He has been one of the most outspoken elected officials aggressively trying to reshape the party’s image. He joins the Republican National Committee, which has spent millions in the past year to reconstruct its outreach to minorities.
Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, won only 6% of the African-American vote, 26% of the Asian vote, and 27% of the Latino vote.
With the success of some Democratic Latino elected officials in Texas - such as Rep. Joaquin Castro and his brother, San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro - and the meteoric rise of state Sen. Wendy Davis, who’s running for governor this year, Texas is starting to gather steam as a potential pickup for Democrats down the road. Davis still has a sharp uphill fight in actually winning the race, but her star power indicates a louder, more vocal Democratic base exists in the state.
One organization, Battleground Texas, has as its mission to make the state up for grabs, which hasn’t happened on a presidential ballot since 1976, when Texas narrowly voted for Jimmy Carter over Gerald Ford.
Paul said he’s encouraged by people like George P. Bush, the nephew of former President George W. Bush and son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. George P. Bush is half Mexican and speaks fluent Spanish. He’s running for Texas land commissioner and has been part of efforts to expand the Hispanic Republican base in the state.
“I think having people who are trying to make the party bigger is good,” Paul told CNN’s Peter Hamby on Friday after meeting with Bush. “The party has to be bigger across the country, not only appealing to people of various ethnic background but various economic backgrounds."
Speaking Saturday night at the dinner, Paul stressed that the country’s top immigration priority should be border security but said the party needs to have a “better attitude” when talking about resolving the country’s broken immigration system.
“People who are Hispanic or Latino, they have to believe that we want them in our party, so it is an attitude thing as much as it is policy,” he said.
One of those messages, he said, should be: “If you want to work and you want a job and want to be part of America, we will find a place for you.”
His line drew mild applause from the audience.
“That was kind of tepid,” he said.

"we have to be a more welcoming party,” Paul said. “We have to welcome people of all races."

says the guy who opposes title II of civil rights and actively coordinated with A3PO during his daddy's last campaign.

these guys do so much mindless lip service that they should advertise their services in the personals section of craigslist.

did you hear? he's referring to president clinton as "sexual predator"..i'd like for him to tell that to hillary in person:mrgreen:
 
I think you're pretty full of lip service Uncle Buck. The only thing Ron or Rand Paul opposed regarding the Civil Rights Act was allowing the govt to force PRIVATE businesses to do business with people they don't want to do business with. That is it. So if that is your biggest issue with either of the Doctors, that the govt should be able to tell us who we can and can not serve... then perhaps you should take some time and contemplate on the meaning of what rights are and where they come from.

so you think it's OK to make black people go to the next town over to buy lumber in order to protect the racist lumber salesman?

is that the position you want to take?

that just creeped me out for some reason:

what kind of a doctor would say that hormonal birth control is a problem? don't they realize they are used to treat medical conditions, like ovarian cysts, heavy menstrual cramps, anemia, and the like?

some "doctors".
 
You're the one who wants MAKE people do things. Not me, UB. I dont think its OK to make black people go to the next town. However I also dont think its OK for the govt to tell people who they must contract with. If you do, I'd love to hear where you suppose they got the right to do that. My position is that I don't have a right to tell you how to run your business, and in the same, you don't have the right to tell me how to run mine. I would never not serve a person based on their race, gender, or any of that... and in fact, if I found out a business I was giving money to was doing such things I'd voluntarily NOT do business with them. A lot of people would join me and the business would more than likely suffer. People vote with their dollars everyday.

Everybody has a right to use public services like buses, schools, libraries, parks, etc... but its up to private property owners to decide who they contract with. Just like I don't have a right to come in your home and smoke your herb. If I got enough people to vote for such a proposition, it still wouldn't make it right. Your property is yours and you have full say on who you want to share/sell/give it to. I'm sorry if you don't understand the concept of rights, where they come from, and most importantly the fact that I can not give govt rights that I myself do not have.

i've been thinking that ever since you've changed your signature.

LOL

Bullshit

Ron and Randy Possum head court the racist vote, pander to the Racist vote and Need the racist vote
 
You're the one who wants MAKE people do things.

nope, i want to make people NOT do things, like refuse service to people because they are black. you are perfectly OK with that though.

I dont think its OK to make black people go to the next town.

yes you do, you oppose title II of civil rights. that's the precise implication of opposing title II.

However I also dont think its OK for the govt to tell people who they must contract with.

i've never had to sign a contract to get a BLT.

I'd love to hear where you suppose they got the right to do that.

you wanna know where the federal government gets the right to tell racist business owners they can't refuse blacks in their restaurants, hotels, gas stations and the like?

do some basic research, racist.

I would never not serve a person based on their race, gender, or any of that... and in fact, if I found out a business I was giving money to was doing such things I'd voluntarily NOT do business with them. A lot of people would join me and the business would more than likely suffer. People vote with their dollars everyday.


more bullshit lip service.

businesses did just fine before civil rights was passed, history makes a liar and a fool out of you.

I don't have a right to come in your home and smoke your herb.

my home is not a business that is 'open to the public' though, you fucking idiot.

*Your property is yours and you have full say on who you want to share/sell/give it to.

until you bill yourself as 'open to the public', that is.

I'm sorry if you don't understand the concept of rights, where they come from, and most importantly the fact that I can not give govt rights that I myself do not have.

you're the one who does not get how rights work. your rights end where they harm others.

your right to swing your fist ends at my face.

your right to be racist ends where your racism causes harm to others.

it's a pretty simple concept that escapes racists like yourself.

regards!

UNCLEBUCK.
 
Uncle Buck, you make some weak ass arguments. Because I don't want the govt telling people how to operate their business that means I'm OK with refusing service to black people? That makes me a racist? I'm curious, how old are you? You argue like a child. But then again you are the one who posted a picture of a boot on someones head, while you're the biggest statist on this forum, who spends hours a day defending the govt and the state, which is the biggest oppressor and the most violent organization on the planet. <slow clap for you>

You feel its ok for the govt to initiate violence, against non-violent people who are not stealing/damaging other peoples property, and you have the nerve to call me names like racist. Let me guess, you must teach philosophy at the university?
 
No... like I said I'm not OK with it. Which is why I wouldn't contribute to a business that discriminated on such things. I'm also not OK with the govt demanding people serve people they don't want to. There is no contradiction in that.

I'm not OK with people shooting heroin. I think its a terrible drug and ruins lives. At the same time, I'm not OK with the govt telling people who want to use the drug that they are not able to. There is no contradiction in that.

Look man, I'm sure you're a nice guy, and mean well. I'm sorry for coming off as argumentative. I dont think that the answer to solving injustice is by demanding (with the threat of violence, which is how govt enforces laws) as being the solution to our problems.
