The RNC
is having a tough time distancing itself from the Chamber of Communists. The Chamber wants open borders and the voters
don’t. So, do Republican candidates
campaign like conservatives on immigration issues or not ?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican
National Committee Chairman Reince
Priebus on Thursday urged his party to step past its criticism
of President Barack
Obama and start rallying behind "unifying goals" it
would pursue if voters give the GOP more control over the government after next
month's midterm elections.Priebus released what he called "principles of American renewal" in a speech at George Washington University aimed at refuting criticism, from Democrats and Republicans alike, that the GOP has become little more than an opposition party in recent years. He offered few details as he endorsed a series of "unifying goals" that included an improved immigration system, a strong national defense and conservative family values.
"If the American people hire us, we'll be ready on Day One," Priebus said. "People know what we're against. I want to talk about the things we're for."
The speech was prompted in part by internal pressure from leading Republicans — particularly major donors — who fear the GOP has become too fixated on fighting Obama. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal earlier in the year warned the GOP against becoming "the party of no." He and other prospective 2016 presidential contenders recently have called for Republicans to talk about a more positive agenda, although the GOP has yet to unite behind specific solutions on many issues.
