Mitt Romney: Republicans Should 'Swallow Hard,' Pass 'Permanent' Amnesty Bill
Breitbart ^ | 26 Nov 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 11/27/2014 6:42:56 AM PST by Cheerio

Former Massachusetts Governor and failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney believes Republicans should "swallow hard" and pass a permanent amnesty bill in the wake of President Barack Obama's executive amnesty that even Romney conceded would encourage more illegal immigrants to enter the country.

Well, it’s probably not as bad as it seems, because he’’ll probably say the opposite thing for the Republican primaries.

This party has a war going. Conservatives will win this war at the polls. These girly men have led us to defeat after defeat. It is time for the tough unrelenting conservatism to get these democrats OUT of our party. Never forget Mississippi— Never forget Barbour and Rove and Cornyn. Defeat them — Punish them politically. Hit the phones Hit the streets. They are the enemy !!

And this is why you couldn’t beat the biggest loser to ever occupy the White House.

there have been at least three amnesty bills we were promised that, if passed, we’d never have to do it again.

NO MORE.

FUMR. You mother-effing traitor.

One thing to compare the Repubs with the Democrat Party - and who shares more of the 'others' political MO; but what is now operating, controlling and destroying our Country by way of 'fundamental change' is something beyond the norm of what was. . .Democrat Politics.

We cannot forget, that we are still, firmly in the grips - if not death hold - of radical Left President and 'team'; all Marx/Alynsky inspired, and whatever other 'ism' you want to add to the totalitarian mix under the misnomer, or just euphemism of 'Democratic' Party. As disappointing/frustrating is our Establishment Repub Leadership - we have many 'good' coming up 'strong'. All will be lost, if we wash our hands of Repub Party; because there is NO hope, and only third-world promise, with the Radical Dem Party continuing it's channeling of 'inauthentic' power. Radicals who gladly wield power in ridicule of our Constitution and Rule of Law.

To that; do believe there is greater hope for America - our Military (and their success); our Departments of Justice; State; Education ET Al; greater hope for 'morally sane' policies per immigration, welfare, energy, Business/Trade/Commerce; greater hope in sustaining our Individual Rights and the Freedom that frames all of them.

Our choice is Hope versus none at all, if we allow the absolute worst the world offers to prevail, as American Leadership.

I’m so glad he lost.

So you preferred King Obama. Good thinking. It's obvious that most of you really did not know Romney since his platform was way above your heads.

Ok, thanks.

Just out of curiosity, whom do you perceive to be conservative enough to vote for?

Not me that's for damn sure. I've been saying for years we're a one party country. We got the Democrat A party and the Democrats B party who make pretend they are against the Democrat As but aren't because it's the same exact party, and Mitt RINOmney is just one more example. What we need ASAP is a completely independent party because the Democrat B party sure as hell ain't going to pick a conservative but another Democrat B candidate like Pig Christie or Hillary worshipper Jeb Bush. Remember when he gave Hillary the "Liberty medal" on the one year anniversary of Benghazi?? Anybody in their right mind thinks this jackass is Republican needs their head examined. He is the epitome of a Democrat B.

Nah not unbelievable at all. Tune into Outnumbered or record it and wait until they talk immigration and that’s how most fake conservatives and people in the country club think.

Libertarian Kennedy was quoting idiot Grover Norquist who helped get CAIR and other Muslim extremists into our government and who Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham have gone after.

Leftist Kirsten Powers, who is actually a bit of a blue dog at times, has been all over wanting comprehensive Immigration to help the Illegals because they have to come out of the shadows or something to start paying taxes. So this is one issue where she supports the hard left.

Andrea Tantaros keeps saying that the left lies about Republicans intentions to not pass a bill. That Harry Reid never wanted the right to get a bill passed. She contends that Republicans have to pass something because she says it helps them with Hispanics, which it won’t. In fact Hispanics don’t all want the kind of reform I am being lead to believe she is supporting.

She does maintain other bills and plans put forth by Republicans got cut off in the senate which is true, but she wants some Immigration reform to help illegals out in so much the same way Marco Rubio does. She isn’t really sounding like we Freepers do to my ears. She sounds like Marco Rubio.

Andrea’s two fights with Kirsten were mostly about four things.
1. Kirsten claiming Republicans don’t care about passing reform. To which Andrea shot back they do and they will have a plan when they take control of The Senate. To which the debate shifted to what kind of plan and how will it pass.

2. Andrea claims that it may have to be done piece meal to get things done faster and more effective. To which Kirsten shot back that that is a joke. That Obama won’t go for that and the main parts of a comprehensive bill won’t pass or will not be part of any legislation.

3. A debate over the amount of illegals covered by the gang of eight bill and later over how Obama arrived at his number for his executive action. Andrea claims there are much more illegals than the left has claimed and so that Obama’s actions aren’t covering everyone. And she also has debated before about how Obama has let down Hispanics by not explaining why he didn’t do anything sooner.

4. And lastly a debate over Obama going alone with executive action and how it hurt bi-partisanship this coming year. They convinced Sandra Smith that working together to get something done is the right thing. Then they got Harris on various shows to just parrot Sandra and Andrea.

So then we have both Sandra and Katie Pavlich supporting the nation that republicans have to work to get legislation passed next year when they take over the senate to prove to people that they can govern and get things done. In which case, they argue that means come up with a immigration plan even in piece meal format in order to get this issue off the table and show people they mean business.

So they are proving why our country is on the brink of dissolving. Another thing they say is that they can’t spend time trying to impeach Obama.

Yes, Obie will not go along with rejection of the main part of the bill - turning UNDOCUMENTED INTO VOTING CITIZENS. That is all this "Comprehensive BS" is about, pure and simple.

Well, do think, we have had for sometime; 'more' than enough for the Chamber. Meantime; per open invitation and promises of all things 'wonderful', thousands crossing our border; including enemy terrorists; druggies; sex traders; all with 'criminal and 'threat', as their commonality and given only the Obama 'wink' and with blind eye. We can be certain, that whatever numbers they throw out; they can be easily doubled - and more - to get to the truth of the matter; and to get to the reality of America's tipping point.

Meantime; waiting; watching; we had better soon see, the Repub plan for our Border security. . .no doubt(?); soon to be unveiled. (Or; Repub foolishness factoring itself; at Boehner's behest?)

I should also add Dana Perino is not far behind as she didn’t see much wrong with Obama’s executive actions the day after it happened on The Five.

Ann Coulter might be incoherent and ramble a lot and she might be way off in picking candidates, but she is 100% against Amnesty and she is therefore one of the good people out there. She even turned on Romney and Christie for both of them coming out in support of the Gang of Eight bill.

Nobody who hasn't recently read a book abt the genesis of the big White Star liners knows what they were really built for and how they exemplified the real thread of continuity in Chamber of Commerce thinking, which is to flood, constantly flood, the American labor markets to keep wages in constant depression.

The real cargo of the White Star giants was the steerage trade: masses of poor immigrants swarming to the New World and peopling the vast emptiness of North America with farmers whose crops would be brought to market (by methods described in The Octopus) on Pierpont Morgan's miles-long freight trains to swamp the commodities markets and give the grain, cattle, bellies, and sugar factors wide margins to get rich on while the farmers gradually went broke selling into open-outcry markets dominated by financial interests and the farmers' downstream counterparties .

You didn't, obviously, grep and grok Matt's crack, during the primary season, about why he didn't campaign in Texas.

"They'll come to me," he said graciously, "when I'm the last man standing."

It's been said before, but let me add my voice: FUMR.

We need real choices in real primaries, and Mitt, the Chamber and its turd blossoms and all their ilk move their politica on the premise that We the People must be allowed no choice.

You do us no favors with that false dichotomy bull the Yacht Club is always putting out.

Mitt Romney is giving advice on a subject he knows well: How To Be A Loser.

Mitt Romney should swallow hard and finally understand that he is too “out-of-touch” to try to be elected President.

“I didn’t want either liberal Obama or liberal Romney in there.”

Me either, but still, you had your moment. Now for reality.

“Obama won anyway”

Every vote against him weakened both his mandate and his political capital.

And I’m also angry with the republicans who support Bonehead and McConnell, but not all of them are liberal.

There are other ways we can win so long as we unite against the most evil in DC.

Reagan didn’t win the Cold War by throwing his imperfect allies under the bus.

A vote for the top anti-Obama weakened his mandate and political capital.
