At a private meeting with a group of influential supporters including Rupert Murdoch, Mitt Romney said he wasnt going to flip-flop from his past positions on immigration, according to Politico:
Murdoch chimed in, three sources said, telling the candidate on the issue of immigration generally, You have to take the fight to Obama on this. Romney said the Hispanic vote is important, noting he has Sen. Marco Rubio on the trail for him and that one of his own sons speaks Spanish, but indicated he is not going to change positions from some of what he said in the primaries.
I know I took some positions in the primary that are hard to contend with in a general, Romney said, according to two sources.
I am not going to be a flip-flopper, he added, according to one guest....

Stand by for incoming from The GOP's "You-dumbass-Conservatives-will-take-what-we-give-you-and-you'll-like-it" crowd.
Which, his comment or the posted article?
I don’t know if I understand your question.
Monkeywrench...
If only...
The moment, the subject of the media mogul's now famous tweet, took place at a private fundraiser/meet-and-greet put together and hosted by Ken Langone at the Union League Club in Manhattan late Thursday afternoon, several hours after the Supreme Court decision on health care came down, multiple sources told POLITICO.
The event was attended by between 40 and 50 people, sources said, including some major names in fundraising, finance and media. They included Murdoch and his top adviser Joel Klein, Randy Falco, the CEO of Univision, Goldman Sachs head Lloyd Blankfein, real estate scion Bill Rudin, hedge fund executives Stanley Druckenmiller and Julian Robertson, Jets owner Woody Johnson, former Rudy Giuliani adviser Anthony Carbonetti, and pollster and strategist Kellyanne Conway, according to sources familiar with the list of attendees.
But one of the most notable exchanges was on immigration, when Falco began by telling Romney how frequently President Obama has been on Univision in comparison to the Republican candidate, adding that he thinks it's important for the GOP hopeful to address what the president did on immigration a few weeks ago with his executive action move to halt some deportations.
Murdoch chimed in, three sources said, telling the candidate on the issue of immigration generally, "You have to take the fight to Obama on this." Romney said the Hispanic vote is important, noting he has Sen. Marco Rubio on the trail for him and that one of his own sons speaks Spanish, but indicated he is not going to change positions from some of what he said in the primaries
It's unclear if he met with Murdoch privately in addition to the fundraiser. But immigration is a signature Murdoch issue.
Romney'd be more believable if he told voters what he intends to do about all the criminal hyphenates violating our borders. They got more scams and schemes than you can shake a stick at.
I got a belly laugh when I read this-----The (cough) "Dominican American National Roundtable" who are not even US citizens but were registered to vote under multiple identities----whined to the feds to investigate whether access to the ballot was denied or suppressed for Latino/Dominican voters in the Democratic Primary for the 13th Congressional District---for Charles Rangel's seat. Rangel's oppoent is a Dominican and a member of the hyphenated whiners.
JUST HERE FOR A BETTER LIFE the Dominican group claimed that many Hispanics in the district were told their names were not on voting rolls and that they were not offered interpreters.
Warzer Jaffc/ NY State Sen. Adriano Espaillat---Rangel's opponent.
"NY state is going broke. I can't wait to get my hands on all that
federal money--disguised as foreign aid to the Dominican Republic."
This item came as an email. I cant verify the author. Its bad enough news, but there are two VERY expensive items left out which I have added at the end. Thanks!

Yes - but resistance, even hounding can move Romney more to the right .... and if Romney does not move more to the right he will lose millions of vote to those who have become cynical and just are too downtrodden to vote for Liberal Lite.
Why Romney supporters do not HOUND him to do something more for Conservatives to get their vote astounds me ... instead Romney supporters tell Conservatives to Eat Shiite and Die.... But Romney is too much of a weenie to take the same hard core position against obama... simply amazing
Keep in mind---all of those US tax dollars are collected under multiple identities.
ICE has reported that "impoverished" illegals "just here for a better life," routinely establish multiple identities with forged/faked documents, each bought for several thousand dollars-----in order to ride the US gravy train AND vote.
Jose Madrigal---the Washington state rapist---- had some 30 identities.
