Mitt Romney Wins GOP Presidential Straw Poll
CBS News ^ | 4/10/2010

NEW ORLEANS -- Mitt Romney won the straw poll at the Southern Republican Leadership conference here Saturday in a victory that will be taken as a sign of the former Massachusetts governor's strength as a 2012 presidential candidate.

That's because the 2008 GOP presidential hopeful elected to skip the conference to continue his book tour.

Romney triumphed by a single vote over Ron Paul, who took second place 439 votes to 438. Both men won 24 percent of the vote. Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich essentially tied for third with 18 percent of the vote each.

Now that I HAVE read your post 151, I respect your experience and position. But you do realize that many, many other people are not going to "pass up" the ready and willing labor that you did.

Why should you have to police people, when it's the government's job, and why do we tolerate a government that actively subverts the law?

In your position as a GC, you would know or eventually find out the situation of your employees. Would your customers? Do you expect them to take time from their own affairs to examine the residency of people who come and go in their lives during the course of business?

I used to write mortgage loans. I had a situation one time where we were ready to close escrow -- loan fully approved and funded -- when a final credit check by FannieMae showed that the SSN of the applicant may have been fraudulent.

The borrower admitted he bought the SSN 15 years earlier and had been living in the US with it all that time. The entire credit history was his. Only the name wasn't. If he had been a registered alien (back in the old days) he would have been a US citizen by now! And isn't that what we really want anyway?

Amazing, you don’t even read our answers back to you?

So that little attempt to pretend that you had insight to illegals didn’t pan out, you seem to be an upper middle class woman that works in a bank and thought that living in California gave you some special insight to illegals, that is incredibly ignorant and naive and kind of humorous, a little shifty too since you were trying to fake it.

Mitt Romney was always pro amnesty and he was busted in 2006 and exposed in a national story revealing that he had been using a crew of illegal Guatemalans at his home for 10 years, speaking to them in Spanish and encouraging his sons to hire them.

After Romney’s illegal alien scandal blew over, Romney was in a debate a year later, in 2007 when Rudy Giuliani accused Romney of running a “Sanctuary Mansion”, Romney blustered and lied to the nation feigning shock and proclaiming that it wasn’t true in an effort to survive the televised debate.

A few days after the debate, the Boston Globe sent a reporter over to look at Romney’s “Sanctuary Mansion” and sure enough the same crew of illegals that everyone thought that Mitt had fired, during the huge scandal the year before, were still there.

This brought to 11 years and through a national media scandal, and a nationally televised debate denial, that Mitt Romney was still using the illegal Guatemalan workmen to maintain his home’s grounds.

Romney and illegal aliens, hard to keep them apart.

Mitt seems to think that gun owners are close to insane, or at least murderers.

Mitt Romney:"These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense," "They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people."

Agreed. If they do, they will just be declaring that Obama is the unofficial republican nominee.
