So many possibilities, so little time to poll test/focus group and choose?

What Romney will do is self destruct.

He’s got all the brains and half the charm of Joe Biden.

Nice try, GoP-e ,, you had a good shot at winning it all before and blew it .. you even kept the leadership pretty much intact.

Yur mistake. not ours, many of us will never get to vote in a primary anyway.. and if the lessons haven’t been learned yet by those who should know better.. then, no loss.

"First it was the ridiculous idea from Romney that illegals will self-deport."

BS! Why do some continue with the lie that the only choice is "deport them all" or Amnesty(by whatever name you call it)? FReeper should not be part of that, when historical proof to the contrary has been posted many many times on FR.

The fact is that with seriously enforcement of the law against a small fraction of them, a large multiple of that number WILL SELF-DEPORT. One of those proofs posted on FR many times was "How Eisenhower solved illegal border crossings from Mexico"- csmonitor.com - 2006 is excerpted below:

"... on June 17, 1954, what was called "Operation Wetback"

"By the end of July, over 50,000 aliens were caught in the two states. Another 488,000, fearing arrest, had fled the country."

"By mid-July, the crackdown extended northward into Utah, Nevada, and Idaho, and eastward to Texas. By September, 80,000 had been taken into custody in Texas, and an estimated 500,000 to 700,000 illegals had left the Lone Star State voluntarily..."

[ That's a total of 130,000 arrested and deported and another 988,000-1,188,000 self-deported. ]

Similar results were achieved by prior Presidents Hoover, Roosevelt and Truman with their "repatrition" programs: Deport a serious number and a much larger multiple of that number self-deport. (See LINK)

It's not ridiculous at all. If current laws were actually enforced, many would. Myth says he will vigorously enforce current laws. Not that I bllieve him, but the theory is sound.

“Now there is supposedly going to be some type of Rubio Quasi-Dream Act.”

La Raza Marco Rubio has a DREAM Act?

Who would have imagined that, months after he opposed AZ1070.

We don’t need a VP who puts his ethnic group first.

This is the Romney plan: (1) beat-up on conservatives and (2) lose to Obama. This winning strategy was brought to America by the RINO elite establishment that are joined at the hip to the Donkey Party.
