The ‘so called contractor’ was a friend and Romney knew about the illegals and did nothing for over a year. They were at his home every week. This wasn't some one time thing for a roofing job.
Romney is a lying scumbag , always has been and always will be.
I was making a point that this was a weak attack - that almost no one is immune from. There are other much stronger and more legit issues to bring up.
You and I will cast the same amount of votes for Romney = 0. I see no profit in joining a race to prove that I hate him the most. 0 is 0.
Even though I do not like Romney, I do have to defend him on the gardener issue.
If my neighborhood is anything like Romney’s, he probably never even saw his gardeners during the year in question.
I live in a neighborhood which is upper middle class to very rich. Average size home ranges from 5000-10,000 square feet.
Except for me ( I do my own yardwork), most everyone here has gardeners, and they all look to be illegal .
The homeowners who employ these gardening companies are never home during the day, because they are all at work earning the money to afford their houses and lifestyle.
Their wives may be home during the day, but I am sure that the ethnicity of the help would not be a topic of conversation at the dinner table.
However,a lot of wives in my neighborhood are working professionals, they probably do not see their gardeners , either.
