HOWIE CARR, HOST: Who are you for, for president right now, Ann?
ANN COULTER: Well, don't tell him but I'm planning on giving Mitt Romney a little more time to rest -- flying out, kidnapping him and depriving him of sleep, food and water until he agrees to run again.
CARR: You're kidding?
COULTER: No.
CARR: You really want him to run again?
COULTER: Yeah, I think he was a fantastic candidate. As I've told you before, he would have won by a larger landslide than Ronald Reagan did in 1980 without Teddy Kennedy's immigration bill. And it's basically impossible to beat an incumbent, but he is head and shoulders better than the other candidates we had. And I don't want to name them, but I mean you go through the list -- and for one thing, as you and I discussed, and this is the most important point, that all of your listeners have to tell all of their friends knock it off with the Congressmen or inspirational figures. It's got to be a Governor or a Senator, preferably a Governor. And, you know, there is a limited world -- a list of who those people are, and they all have problems. None of them are articulate and reasonable, and as good on immigration as Mitt Romney! CARR: What about Ted Cruz?
COULTER: Well, he's a lot worse on immigration.
CARR: Is he that bad? I didn't think he was that bad on immigration.
COULTER: Well, most Republicans are, that's why you need to call your Congressman. I'm not singling out Ted Cruz, he has the same position a lot of these idiots have. 'Oh yes, let them come here and we have a special permit, we just won't give them citizenship. But we want to increase ...

“Letting them stay” is not the issue. Think about the logistics that went into interning 112,000 Japanese at the beginning of WWII. It would take a large-scale military operation to physically deport 12 million illegals.
Can’t deport them. Can’t grant them amnesty.
This woman has gone totally nuts.
Wonder if she lives around cats.

I for one don't believe he really lost that last race. (From those from Rio Lindo, read between the lines) Because he didn't “win”, let's just toss him aside. Seems to be the logic here.
This is a war and the other side cannot be trusted. Wake up and smell the coffee.
Ann has forgotten about who comprises her fan base. She’s gonna get “Dixie-Chicked”.
Ann is simply using a woman's prerogative to change her mind.
Was there some large-scale military operation to import them in the first place? Eliminate the social welfare incentives, prosecute and fine their employers and they will self-deport.
Romney wil not fall for Crowley BS any more.

“I’m proud of what we’ve done. If Massachusetts succeeds in implementing [Romneycare], then that will be a model for the nation.” –Mitt Romney, while campaigning for president in Baltimore in 2007
Flop
“At the time I crafted the plan in the last campaign I was asked is [Romneycare] something that you would have the whole nation do, and I said no. This is something that was crafted for Massachusetts. It would be wrong to adopt this as a nation.” – Mitt Romney in a 2011 Republican presidential primary debate

“Well, I’m not getting rid of all of healthcare reform.” – Mitt Romney, Meet the Press interview (Sept. 9, 2012)
Flop
“Obamacare must be repealed in its entirety.” – Mitt Romney, Hugh Hewitt Show interview (Sept. 10, 2012)
Flip
Romney, speaking in 2012 about the U.S. auto industry’s comeback: “I pushed the idea of a managed bankruptcy. And finally, when that was done, and help was given, the companies got back on their feet. So I’ll take a lot of credit for the fact that this industry’s come back.”
Flop
Romney, writing in a 2008 New York Times op-ed titled “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt”: “If General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye.”
Flip
“I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country. I believe that since Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years, that we should sustain and support it. I sustain and support that law and the right of a woman to make that choice.” – Mitt Romney, in a 1994 debate with Sen. Edward Kennedy. In 2002, Romney also said, “I respect and will protect a woman’s right to choose.”
Flop
“Look, I was pro-choice. I am pro-life. You can go back to YouTube and look at what I said in 1994. I never said I was pro-choice, but my position was effectively pro-choice. I changed my position.” – Mitt Romney, in a 2007 Iowa Straw poll debate
Flip
Romney in 2012: “I don’t manage the money that I have. In order to make sure that I didn’t have a conflict of interest while I was governor or while I was considering a run for national office, I had a blind trust established.”
Flop
Romney in 1994: “The blind trust is an age-old ruse, if you will, which is to say, you can always tell the blind trust what it can and cannot do. You give a blind trust rules.”

Romney in June 2011: “I believe the world is getting warmer … I believe that humans contribute to that.”

Romney in October 2011: “My view is that we don’t know what’s causing climate change on this planet.”

Flip
“We do have tough gun laws in Massachusetts. I support them. I won’t chip away at them.” –Mitt Romney in a 2002 gubernatorial debate

“I don’t support any gun control legislation, the effort for a new assault weapons ban, with a ban on semi-automatic weapons, is something I would oppose.” –Mitt Romney, in a 2008 interview with conservative bloggers
Flip
“I purchased a gun when I was a young man. I’ve been a hunter pretty much all my life.” –Mitt Romney in April 2007
Flop
“I’m not a big-game hunter. I’ve always been a rodent and rabbit hunter. Small varmints, if you will.” –Mitt Romney in April 2007
Flip
“I longed in many respects to actually be in Vietnam and representing our country there.” –Mitt Romney, reflecting in a 2007 Boston Globe interview on the Vietnam War period, when he received a deferment to work as a Mormon missionary in France

“It was not my desire to go off and serve in Vietnam.” –Mitt Romney, as quoted in the Boston Herald in 1994
immigration reform is a must because it is indeed broken
_______________________________________
What does that mean ???
what is broken ???
how or why would anyone think they needed to “reform” a strong American law ???
For once, Ann, go back in the kitchen!
You’re burning the turkey!
It’s not the numbers of legal immigrants that is the problem, it is the economy.
When the economy is good, Americans could care less about how many migrants are allowed to enter LEGALLY unless they see that it disrupts the social fabric of the nation. For example, speaking spanish at work, parading Mexican flags around, claiming some sort of minority status, voting illegally or in the case of Muslims, praying on carpets at work, imposing Sharia rules and laws. If that sort of thing gets out of hand, then Americans get angry and the political process channels that anger into restrictions on such activities.
Immigration needs to be fixed, just not now. Not until conservatives control the government. And that means real conservatives like Ted Cruz, not fake conservatives like Jeb Bush, or McCain or any of the others.
Cruz is completely tuned in with WHAT needs to be done and WHEN it needs to be done.
Any poster on this forum that thinks immigration levels need to be reduced to zero forever is pissing in the wind. There will be immigration always and the levels need to make sense for the economy at the time.
When Ted Cruz expresses the benefits of increasing H1B visas to tech talent, he’s doing it with the consideration that conservatives like him will be in power. When America captures real scientific and technological talent, it benefits. Just ask those that knew Wernher Von Braun and his cadre of engineers. Without them America would never have had such a successful space program and many of the technological advances we enjoy today would not exist.
Lol.
Horror gets as much attention as vaguely amused.
Who is this Mitt person? Does he make baseball gloves?
“Cruz is willing to consider legal status for illegals but only when conservatives are in power.”
You seem to COMPLETELY write-off the demographic effect of this. Like it or not, this country is about 50/50 Dem/Republican. Throw in 30,000,000 people from the Third world, WHO WILL HAVE KIDS, and the country becomes 60/40 Democrat, with NO HOPE of having any meaningful opposition.
That means the following:
1) The Supreme Court becomes a RUBBER STAMP for the Democrats. The Second Amendment is history. And that means people like me, in Texas, will have to turn in our guns.
2) The country basically becomes a BASKET CASE, just like Venezuela is now - that country has the LARGEST OIL RESERVES in the world and they are about to start food rationing.
3) The ability to speak freely in opposition to the government simply ENDS, just as is the case in much of Europe, particularly Scandinavia. Like the Second Amendment, the First Amendment means whatever the Democrats want it to mean, since they control the Courts and the government.
4) Then things get really bad, as in energy and food shortages, Mexican-style gangs kidnapping and torturing unarmed Americans, and then currency collapse. Not to mention not having a military anymore.
5) Then maybe after all that, some of the immigrants get fed up with the Democrats, and try to oppose them. Maybe they can provide a credible opposition - but it doesn’t really matter much, we will be THIRD WORLD, at best. And the voting systems will likely be even more rigged than they are now.
All of the above will be completed in about 2 generations - we’ll be ok, but our kids will suffer when they’re old, and our grandkids will suffer through it for much of their lives.
That seems to be the future that TED CRUZ WANTS for this country, if I’m understanding his words correctly (and, actually, this is the first time I’ve heard those words). Talking about DEMOGRAPHICS is not pretty, but it is the ONLY THING that is separating us from becoming like Latin America. If we choose to go that path...there will be NO OTHER OUTCOME. Argentina was a FIRST WORLD country early in the 20th century, before their demographics overwhelmed them...and they continue to sink even further.
Also keep in mind that the Democrats still have to actually win elections now, as the country is still 50/50 - they CANNOT do anything close to what they want to do - not even close. Read THEIR MATERIALS, read their dreams and goals for this country, when they don’t think you’re looking, go to their “teach-ins” - then you will understand what they have in store for us. Once the Dems don’t have to worry about elections, dealing with the Courts, having a Republican House - they WILL take that path, as people of that mindset have done in EVERY COUNTRY when they achieve undisputed power. They have no choice but to oppress, and oppress FIERCELY, as people would otherwise not tolerate the deplorable conditions that this country will become.
So, I’m against Ted Cruz’s plan - but I LOVE him otherwise.
Can’t deport them. Can’t grant them amnesty.
..........................................
I beg you. Do not jump ugly on me. But what is wrong with Romney’s proposal? I did not say I want Romney. I said his idea was the best one. Simply make it illegal to hire them and they will self deport. If we can’t do that then we might as well just get rid of immigration laws altogether because why should we expect any new law to be enforced if a simple proposal like Romney’s is deemed unrealistic.
FUAC!
Simply make it illegal to hire them
____________________________________________
Its already illegal to hire them ...
but that didn’t stop your boy Willard from hiring them to do the yard work at the gov mansion in MASS...
We don't need an H-1B program to get people like von Braun. There has always been an exception made for highly-qualified people, not just in the US, but in any country in the world. This is how Gerard Depardieu obtained Russian citizenship. The H-1B program has vacuumed in millions of unexceptional individuals whose primary contribution is that they help lower the wage bills of Silicon Valley firms.
I am not defending her choice of Romney-- in fact, I think it's nuts-- but what Ann is saying is that she supports Romney because he is tougher on illegal immigration than Cruz. She is anti-illegal immigrant. So whatever her problem is, it's not what you said.
Do you acknowledge that Ted Cruz wants to change the current ‘strong’ law?
