We appear to be looking at this thing through different lenses.
I actually couldn't care less about the possible political fallout that might ensue from Romney's mealy-mouthed statement. I'm looking more at the fact that he didn't disagree with what Obama did - only with how he did it.
As an American who cares about our Constitution and the rule of law, that offends me on a core level. His poor response has further solidified my admittedly negative considerations about him.
Yes, there is the Obama lens which sees this as an issue about "Immigration". And he's hoping republicans choose that lens so he can now falsely declare that this is a Republican War Against Latinos.
Then there's the Conservative lens that sees this as an unconstitutional power-grab. The issue: US Constitution
“We appear to be looking at this thing through different lenses”
No argument there. lol.
Romney was my next to the last choice. I am not happy. But it is what it is. That being said, I want O out of office...really bad. Look at what the he!! O is doing even this week.
I actually don’t think that Myth will be that different regarding illegal immigration. But who do we have that would be? (please don’t say Sarah..she has varied opinions, and she isn’t running.)
I am as much as American as you are...and as deeply offended by the disregard of the Constitution. But it ain’t the first time Barry has ruled by EO. So maybe we should focus on O’s trangressions instead of thinking that his opponent, the only one we have at this point, is a total dbag. He maybe...but he is what we are stuck with.
I don’t see that we will ever agree if we argued for weeks, but that’s o.k.
I will bid you a good evening...FRiend (and after looking at your homepage) fellow Texan.
