"Those people 'talked funny', and most importantly, I got caught."

Because the Boston Globe was looking into it. From the paper, posted a short time ago:
Mitt Romney, who has taken a tough stance against illegal immigrants in his quest for the Republican presidential nomination, has continued to employ a company that uses illegal immigrants to do lawn work at his home.
Responding to inquiries from the Globe, which had observed the work taking place at his house and interviewed the workers, Romney tonight fired the company for failing to comply with the law…
Romney has made illegal immigration a central campaign issue in his bid for the nomination. At last week's Republican debate in St. Petersburg, Fla., Romney was quick to attack Rudy Giuliani for safeguarding illegal immigrants in New York City.
Yet early the morning after the debate, immigrants from Central America who say they are here illegally were in plain view on the lawn in front of Romney’s salmon-colored mansion in Belmont. Chatting in Spanish, they hustled to rake massive clumps of leaves, dump them in barrels, and clear debris from his tennis court.
Their boss, Ricardo Saenz of Chelsea, was the same man who for a decade brought illegal immigrants and others to work for Romney, whom he had met through their shared Mormon faith. A year ago, the Globe broke the news that illegal immigrants landscaped Romney’s 2.5-acre property.
In the past two months, the Globe observed Saenz and his crew at Romney's estate once a week, except during the week of Thanksgiving…Last Thursday, the Globe interviewed two of the three workers who were at Romney's house. Both said they were illegal immigrants from Guatemala; one of the immigrants said the third worker was also here illegally….
Tell you what homie, I'll FReep mail you the name of the company that does our landscaping and you can contact them and ask them if all their hispanic workers are legal or not and ask them for proper documentation. After all, you have just as much right as I do to ask that question.
I'd do it myself but as I stated before, I don't think thats my responsibility, its the company owner's............
HaHaHaHa............
“Anderson Cooper 360” is on the air right now, and John King and Candy Croley are really making political hay out of this. It is making Romney look like the flip-flopping, two-faced, hypocritical, political whore he is.
This will sink him in Iowa where Illegal Immigration is the #1 issue with Iowans.
That’s what he gets for not being forthright and honest from the beginning of his campaign on all issues.
Get the lights on your way out.
Calm down, the veins in your neck are showing. HOMIE! LOL
"Those people 'talked funny', and most importantly, I got caught."
The proportions in that picture, by the way, are real.
Reagan: 80 feet tall.
Willard: puny pretender.
Establishing a permanent relationship with your landscaper that uses illegals and doesn’t pay taxes is a problem if you want to be president.
Being outed after a decade of that, one year ago, and then continuing to use the same company until you are outed again a week ago on national television, could prove fatal to your attempt to win over conservatives, to lead us in our anti illegal worker movement.
I'm with you on this. Fred is the conservative in this race. I'm going to donate a reasonable amount tonight. Thanks so much!
There it is in a nutshell.
Perhaps Willard's legendary intelligence is also a Myth.
From the Boston Globe article. LOL
Questioned this afternoon during two campaign stops in New Hampshire about the use of illegal immigrants on his property, Romney declined to answer. An aide said he would issue a statement, and Romney, emerging from a Concord restaurant, said, “Did you hear him? We’ll give you a statement.”
Go Fred!
Romney is a flip-flopper. (as said on Denny Crane tonight, December 4, 2007)
Just what does your condo ass. and your honda dealer have to do with Mitt Romney hiring a company who hires illegals, all the while he is so against illegal immigration?
From FoxNews...
“Mitt Romney Terminates Contract With Lawn Care Company for Hiring Illegal Immigrants”

Methinks it’s a case of too little, too late...
Could we please have a POTUS who is trustworthy and consistant...Duncan Hunter comes to mind...
Romney is a victim again. Right?
I love it! How do I contribute $100 to encourage more of the same?
