Romney's Statement On Obama's Amnesty

Romney "agrees" with Rubio. Wants "long term" solution. Full statement in Comments.

[Gritty]

I really, really want to be able to support Romney but mealy mouthed statements like this make me want to sell my house, empty my bank account, and move to New Zealand.

America is being demolished at warp speed before our very eyes - yet all we get from the worthless capons in the GOP is "me too, but not as fast or as obvious, please"...

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Romney kicks the can...

“I believe the status of young people who come here through no fault of their own is an important matter to be considered, and should be solved on a long term basis so they know what their future would be in this country,”

What he should have said was:

“I believe the status of UNEMPLOYED AMERICANS who HAVE LOST THEIR JOB through no fault of their own is an important matter to be considered, and should be solved on a long term basis so they know what their future would be in this country,”

[Mike Darancette]

Obama merely kicked the can down the road. The status of the “Dreamers” has been reduced to a political football that will have to be punted every two years. Why do anything permanent about illegals now? The ones that might be innocent of the physical act of illegal immigration can now have the American Dream (at least a job and a home) in two year increments.

Obama did nobody any favors on this one, including himself.

There was no “executive order” There was just a memo to the HHS Secr. This is an unlawful use of power!

[LibLieSlayer]

romney can lie... but he cannot run away from who and what he is... and we saw an inkling of that with his decision and statement made yesterday.

The reason America is IN PERIL is because Mr. RomneyCARE and his LEGION OF BACKSTABBERS took out GOv. Palin on the “eve” of Election 2008.

Do you remember? Or were on his side, then too?

No I believe the American voters did that. And Palin helped them along to that decision with her performance in front of Katie Couric. It is what it is.

[Ocean_Living]

f mitt were a leader... a true leader... he would have made a statement that came from his center... his soul if you will.

That's what you got. There isn't one.

No, Mitt is trying to get elected. And he's smart enough to know that everything he says is given an anal exam. So he has to be careful. And alienating millions of voters is not the way to do it. He knows he's walking through a mine field.

"The President did make a brilliant political move."

Why do so many repeat this? It's an act of desperation plain and simple. It's akin to the scene in The Dictator when he shoots his opponent (Rubio) in order to win the race.

Look, he already has the majority of the Hisapnic support. I do not believe this will effect the turnout in that demo significantly. On the other hand he's ensured a near 100% turnout for the GOP. The target of this EO, technically, can not vote anyway. Small wonder the DOJ has been threatening states attempting to put some integrity in the voter rolls.

Palin nailed it off the cuff... Reagan smiled down from Heaven. She is not on the ballot but she is every REAL CONSERVATIVE'S defacto leader.

Among the cardinal virtues, the one that has the most weight with 'rulers' is prudence. And what you are advocating is the prudent course of action for Mitt at this time.

America does NOT have "rulers." You may have the need to be ruled, but I believe in Liberty. I don't put our leaders on a pedestal. Only those who choose to be ruled as slaves do such.

Judging by Mitt's previous words, he will only give some kind of residency to the few (and known) thousand of illegals who signed up for military service, but not to anyone else.

What a total crock, few thousand??? You are spreading lies. Mitt has always indicated that he will eventually support full amnesty for ALL who are here illegally. What you state is a conservative position. Mitt's core is that of a full breed Statist.

You need to stop spreading outright B.S. about the fraud known as Mitt.

[moehoward]

LOL!!

Very good.

And alienating millions of voters is not the way to do it.

He just pissed off hordes of independents looking for any kind of work. They far outnumber Hispanics.

Romney is the very worst possible candidate the GOP could possibly come up with.

I remarked on your typos because they are rare in your tightly reasoned prose. You are on the short list of people I read for content rather than amusement.

WRT to the joke; artists copy, genius steals outright and convinces everyone that it is his own. I think you know who you are, sir.

I confess to a certain uber-geekishness. The page was a response to a neurological condition that has pretty much destroyed my short term memory. It started much like null and void's cheat sheet but it evolved.

At some point it occurred to me that I could somewhat replace my failing memory with a database driven web page. After I got it working to my satisfaction I read yet another post of the form "Gee I wish I could program computers, I have such Wonderful Ideas about how things should work." That inspired the Xampp tutorial. I don't think anyone has actually worked through it; but I have a teenager I intend to inflict it on so it isn't wasted effort.

Those hordes of independents are competing with children for jobs?

[Carry_Okie]

Those hordes of independents are competing with children for jobs?

That's how they'll see this. Anything that promotes illegal immigration will alienate them mightily.

Worse than Ron Paul?

Not ideal for sure... but my opinion is that Rush is right. All of our candidates, warts and all, are miles better than Obama.

I have yet to see any good in the -0-. None. Zero. He's a complete loser and a REAL communist. And that's the only real "radical" view I have and the only freedom I think should be limited. Communism is treason, imo. Anyone claiming to be communist is a threat to freedom and humanity. No hyperbole, I believe it.
