RE:”Okay, maybe that wasn’t the best metaphor, but he fumbled an important opportunity. The problem with the president’s amnesty decree is not that it “makes it more difficult to reach that long-term solution because an executive order is, of course, just a short-term matter — it can be reversed by subsequent presidents.” The problem is that it’s u-n-c-o-n-s-t-i-t-u-t-i-o-n-a-l. You would expect Allen West and Steve King to be forceful in denouncing this usurpation, but even Amnesty John McCain and Rick “you don’t have a heart” Perry were strong. Heck, Lindsey Graham — Lindsey Graham — denounced the move as “possibly illegal.” And the fact that Romney didn’t answer when asked if he’d reverse the order is an especially bad sign

Romney is for amnesty and like the others on the Republican channel was forced today to make believe he opposes this when he really wants fully amnesty.

Watching amnesty hawks McCain and Graham-nesty fake outrage on this was sicking. They are complete fakes. They are mad they didnt get the credit for this.

Dems may be socialists, they may be Marxists, but at least they believe in something. Republicans make me sick.

Bears repeating: “Romney is for amnesty and like the others on the Republican channel was forced today to make believe he opposes this when he really wants fully amnesty.”

Of course Romney and a good number of Republicans want amnesty, but they have so far had enough political sense (maybe even integrity), not to do so by imperial edict. If Romney wasn’t a centrist milquetoast, he could ignore the amnesty part, which he probably adores, and counterattack on the rule of law aspects.

Do we have a constitutional republic or a monarchy? Even Chavez plays the democracy game. He’s stacked the deck in Venezuela so that the courts and congress rubber stamp (for the most part) his edicts. Well, President Obama isn’t even bothering with the pretense of a democratically approved solution.

THAT is what Romney should be attacking on, even though he adores amnesty, but Romney is what he is. He will always disappoint, because he’s not one of us and never will be.
