“You have to have regulation, and we value regulation. What we don’t like is when you have regulation that was written in the 1920s or the early 1900s that hasn’t been updated for modern events.”

Romney added that regulations on some parts of the financial sector are “overly burdensome” while others are “nonexistent.”

Similarly, Romney is among the many Republicans who support a stimulus plan, but not in the form Congress passed in February.

Mitt isn’t a leftist fool.

He is on the subject of immigration reform, which is the core discussion point of this thread. And this is what, his third position on the subject in as many years? But go ahead, ignore the 2,000 pound RINO in the living room.
