Article PhotoThe Senate’s Gang of Eight is mounting an aggressive lobbying campaign with one major goal: weaken the conservative opposition to a sweeping immigration overhaul.
Hours after the bill was unveiled after 2 a.m. Wednesday, Republicans began to make their pitch for it on conservative talk radio and by urging their colleagues to hold their fire until they’ve had a chance to analyze it. 
Their hope is to define the measure as a workable compromise on a highly complex issue, one that will help broaden the GOP’s reach to Latino and moderate voters.
that shows you they know that republican run through the streets ranting before they read what they are supposedly ranting about, a trait befitting those of anal retentive characters.
The push is part of a broader strategy to smooth passage for the complex legislation in the Senate, where the idea is to lure more than just a handful of Republican senators. If a broadly backed bill passed the Senate, House Republicans would be hard pressed to reject it, proponents believe.
hard to believe they could look Sandy Hook parents that their kids and family don't mean squat when it comes to the NRA agenda.  it's time to take back our politics those that are for and by the people, not those that have become by LaPierre and the boyz.
