My Fox Boston ^ | 12/1/06

Boston -- Governor Mitt Romney has started his push for the White House, but a recent story could be damaging for Romney. Romney has been an advocate for rounding up illegal immigrants but he may have to take care of his own backyard. Check out what the FOX25 Morning News has to say right here on MyFoxBoston.com.

Mitt is trying to pander to the right to run for President.

************

Mitt is an honorable man. He may not be as far to the right as we might wish, but he's got a chance in this race. Would you rather have Hillary? Or Obama?

I wouldn't run for national office for all of the money in the world. Look at how people who are supposedly on our side behave. They are suckers for the media manipulation and immediately pull out the knives.

I absolutely hate this type of politics. It isn't enough to disagree...they want to destroy people. The left has done this for a long time, and now the right is doing it FOR them.

If you don't like Romney, support another candidate and don't vote for Romney. That should be sufficient.

Exactly right. Well said.

I prefer to leave the field wide open for now, to encourage real conservative to throw their hat into the ring. Why line up behind a phony RINO early? Serves the media and the left, not conservatives.

BTW, I don't believe Mitt is honorable, I think he is merely ambitious.

This is just a hit at Mitt.
Lie you said, he hired a company. It is not up to him to check each employee individually.

Believe me, I was ripped here on FR when my remodelers hired illegals. But what are you supposed to do? Ask for the papers of all employees?

LOL! I am not a taxpayer paid Congressman. who gets almost $200,000 a year, and make my only issue immigration.

Oh BTW, I don't have a taxpayer paid press staff to put out endless press releases(ala Tancredo).

She made sure that none of the contracters and sub-contracters who worked on the house had illegals working there.

Exactly how did she do that?

Fine. But how does knifing Mitt in the back with this piece square with that seemingly noble statement?

Anyone who takes part in the mudslinging attacks of the media on Republicans is at best working against their own self-interest.

Couldn't Pelosi use this same argument? Her situation is much worse since she KNOWS there are illegals there every year and she is making big bucks off there labor. Why no hit pieces on her?

Por que?, were the putas illegal?

I re-read my comment..yikes. I was referring to my patronizing the restaurant, not the brothel.

As to the immigraton status of the 'putas' I have no idea, they were brought to Virginia on the weekends from NYC.

If large numbers of the "base" line up early behind RINO Romney then other candidates won't test the waters.

Look, I'm already getting phone polls and mail questionaires on possible 2008 candidates. I will not encourage support of Romney or McCain.

As far as I'm concerned the media is helping me prevent the nomination of a milktoast RINO. I want the RINO's out of power at the precinct, county, state and national level.

The time for bloodletting is now. Mitt is a fake that says what will please his listeners. He is a neutically enhanced poser who will NOT fight for conservative principles. We don't need him and we should show him the road now, because he will let the barbarians into the castle if he's put in charge of the gate.

Sounds as though you are jealous.

Although you continously complain that Tancredo is a one issue politician it appears by your posting you are a one issue voter.

You need to Update your Romney is a Liberal site. It says he has "Walked away from the battle field" when talking about the fight against gay marriage. This is not true.

I can respect the fact that the website (you?) doesnt like Romney. However, if the website has credibility, it will correct itself in regards to the above.

She told the contracters she would fire them if there were any workers there who couldn't speak English, who didn't have valid documents.

The contracters took her at her word.

LOL!! I realized my poor wording after the fact. I had absolutely no idea there was a brothel until after it was busted.
