The actual Republican Establishment –- political consultants, The Wall Street Journal, corporate America, former Bush advisers and television pundits -- are exhorting Mitt Romney to flip-flop on his very non-Establishment position on illegal immigration.
Both as governor of Massachusetts and as a presidential candidate, Romney has supported a fence on the border, E-Verify to ensure that employees are legal and allowing state police to arrest illegal aliens. He is the rare Republican who recognizes that in-state tuition, driver's licenses and amnesty are magnets for more illegal immigration.
These positions are totally at odds with Establishment Republicans who pander to the business lobby by supporting the cheap labor provided by illegal immigration, and then accuse Americans opposed to a slave labor class in America of racism. If this continues, America will become California and no Republican will ever be elected president again. Big business doesn't care and Establishment Republicans are too stupid to notice.
If you're not sure how you feel about illegal immigration, ask yourself this: "Do I have a nanny, a maid, a pool boy, a chauffeur, a cook or a business requiring lots of cheap labor that the rest of America will have to subsidize with social services to make up for the wages I'm paying?" Press "1" to answer in English.
If the answer is "no," illegal immigration is a bad deal for you. Cheap labor is cheap only for the employer.
Today, 70 percent of illegal immigrant households collect government benefits -- as do 57 percent of all immigrant households -- compared to 39 percent of native households.
Immigrant households with the highest rate of government assistance are from the Dominican Republic (82 percent), Mexico and Guatemala (tied at 75 percent), based on the latest available data from 2009. Immigrant households least likely to be on any welfare program are from the United Kingdom (7 percent).
That’s drool?
I wasn’t terribly interested in doing a DNA test. :)
That is what I was getting at with my tag-line, then they accuse him of being a John Kerry flip-flopper.
Labelling MR a radical conservative is a uphill climb so they are throwing in that he is controlled by the Tea Party.
The past few days they on MSNBC are showing comparision charts that in comparision GWB was a reasonable moderate compared to MR. It is incredible given how they worked to destroy GWB for being a radical.
I suspect she was promised, or is angling for, a job in the Romney administration.
Only I doubt there will be a Romney administration.
Much of what I have been reading lately seems to be talking points from the DNC. So you do have a point.

More Romney ballwashing from a former conservative.
Coulter has devolved into nothing more than a loudmouthed ‘blonde adams apple on stilts’. She must remind a good many guys of their ex-wife.
I don’t give a hoot how Coulter dresses up her ‘Mitt doll’, he will NEVER be a conservative, he will always be a lying lib and he will not win/buy the presidency.
I will never vote for a Karl Rove/GOP-e candidate.
Enjoy your Obama....... I would have voted for Newt.
