I have always been concerned about the Fair Tax. It seems that its only backers are conservative Republicans. If a proposal was only backed by progressive Democrats, like President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, the conservatives would be wary of that proposal. I wish the Fair Tax had bipartisan backing.
My heart goes out to Reince Priebus and the other leaders of the Republican Party. They're faced with the reality that losing the Hispanic vote probably cost the GOP the White House and other races. They realize the party needs to moderate their intransigent position on immigration. But, how do they do that while mollifying the hardline voices heard on this thread and elsewhere?

"news2me", you're just jealous because your party has won the popular vote only once since 1988. Winning is a lot better than losing.
