Rush Limbaugh:
You can go to certain places, you can find establishment Republicans wringing their hands in frustration because they think any discussion of this is going to lose the Latino vote. I know the objective of politicians is to win elections. This is one of the problems we conservatives have with politics. We want to win elections. So should we pander, should we make it sound like we're for undocumented people being allowed to stay here, amnesty, all these things, just to win elections? Because that's what the Republican establishment essentially wants to happen.
They're not saying it directly, but we've gotten to the point now where any public statement that's oriented toward upholding the rule of law is considered hurtful to Republican electoral chances. I don't know how you get around that. What are we supposed to do? Compromise on the law for the sake of winning elections?Now, there are people in the Republican establishment that will tell you, "Yeah, it's exactly what we're supposed to do." Then we become no different than the left, pandering to this coalition with this message, that coalition with another message, a coalition over there with that interest group, what have you. You and I have always believed that standing for the rule of law... what bothers me is the assumption or the presumption that every Hispanic in this country, every Latino is for breaking the law. I just don't believe it. I just don't believe that's the case.

Romney may be playing this right. Why interfere when the opposition party is doing a good job of destroying themselves.

What happens when they wholesale turn a blind eye to election fraud of the kind we've never seen before? Will timidity still be the rule?

The GOPe likes their cheap Meh-ican labor and cheap tarts disguised as housekeepers and nannies. The GOP loves Shamnesty as much as the ‘Rats. Two anti-American parties are enough. Willard is a statist.

No doubt, many poster here have their “hot button” issues.
For many, it’s abortion, or sane fiscal policy.
For me, illegal immigration is at the top of my list.
I am for legal immigration, not illegal immigration.
The two choices we have in November are bleak.
Romney has no courage, no guts. He is a hollow man.
He takes no stand, one way or the other.
To: Bigtigermike
Regardless of what he said, the CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, etc. network news Pimps and Prostitutes would spin it against him and for the Food Stamp President. Watched them as they were stumped because he pulled a Food Stamp President on them and gave one of those filibuster say-nothing responses.

Romney Avoids Another Media Immigration Trap But let's get back today's narrative: Immigration.
The idea here is to pressure Romney into taking a position on immigration that both the media and the White House can then use to beat him senseless with. And it doesnt matter what Romney's ultimate position will be. The media will still lie and twist and beat him senseless with it.
We know this because the media is already shamelessly lying about Romney's time at Bain Capital.
Why in the world should Romney play by the media's rules and therefore on Obama's turf when it comes to any policy, but most especially immigration -- something the media will most certainly turn into racial dynamite? Why should Romney stupidly turn the focus on himself when the way to win this election is to make it a referendum on Obama by keeping the focus on him?

Romney will have to pull off an Eisenhower to get my vote. Eisenhower was the last President to tackle the issue of illegal immigration head on. If the feds willfuly refuse to do this, then they are all culpable for undermining US sovereignty, and should be prosecuted as such.

As I been saying, Romney is terrified of the Hispanic vote and has no idea how to deal with it. Expect him to act lame and empty when these things happen.

Mr. RomneyCARE (author of DEATH PANELS) is as
“conservative” and courageous now, as he will Ever be.
Mr. RomneyCARE will shortly become more LIBERAL
and proIslam, proIllegal, and proTAXES
than Obama and the entire DNC.
The GOPe are as evil now, as when they attacked
Gov. Palin on the EVE of Election 2008.
