THOSE OLD Republican hot buttons are growing cold. For proof, check out a recent interview with Mitt Romney, a former presidential candidate and ex-governor of Massachusetts.
According to TheHill.com, a congressional newspaper that publishes when Congress is in session, "Romney believes that one way to attract more minorities to the GOP is to pass immigration reform before the next election, saying the issue becomes demagogued by both parties on the campaign trail." The article also quotes Romney as saying, "We have a natural affinity with Hispanic-American voters, Asian-American voters."
This could be extreme political repositioning, even for Romney.
. . . . .
How Romney gets beyond the flip-flop-flips of his multiple-choice positions on immigration and other issues is a mystery only he can solve.

Who, politically, do you support on the issue?
Ok, now give yourself a moment to go look up that peron's immigration reform ideas.
Only someone trying to disprove the statement for the sake of disagreeing with someone who made a comment favorable, would make an ass of themselves declaring 'the laws are perfectly fine, they just need to be enforced.'
Case in point: anchor babies.
I pointed out the laws need to be fixed and that Romney had a plan that I thought would fix them. Suddenly that makes me a Democrat.
You know what's really great about this is I would stack my credentials of DOING STUFF to advance the conservative agenda against all of you combined.
PS - rhetorical masturbation on FR does not advance the conservative movement.

******************
I like Jim DeMint. I see your point about anchor babies.
Thanks for a reasoned response.
As long as you support an unprincipled, two faced political chameleon like Romney, please don’t ping me. Thanks
Well of course you think that is silly, and beneath you.
You would rather attack people personally by making fun of people with autism, obesity and even Parkinson's.
I'm sure you think you are on the level of Limbaugh when you poke fun at Michael Fox's condition, but not so, it's just a vicious attack.
This comment is why I pinged the people you pinged, mbrainard
You know what's really great about this is I would stack my credentials of DOING STUFF to advance the conservative agenda against all of you combined.Post your list and then I will counter it with mine.
LOL
The constitution takes care of that.
But leftists (and their lackeys here) want more laws, not constitutional enforcement
You do smear unwarrantedly, hence your posts were
removed above at #159, 161, and see #162.
You should be removed from FR, not merely admonished.
And thus note: you are a proven disingenuous libeler again, GOP_Lady.
As you have been shown to be a liar, disingenous
or abusive against FReepers in thread after thread.
Regarding your latest smear, GOP_Lady,
even on THIS thread, you are demonstrated to be a smearmonger.
Now as to responsibility, if you choose to get above your
present 5th grade level, you ought take responsibility
for some for your past lies and smear tactics.
So should Romney. Then apologize to the Maucks.
Hey, wait! You'd be great on MSNBC!
Just think — Diogenesis and Keith Olbermann together!
Question oh great reporter of facts:
Why did you not type “Romey claims to be President” above the AIG chart like you did on numerous occassions? It's on this site for all to see.
And who was it that actually “attacked” Sarah Palin’s “little children” that you typed numerous times? Again, it's on this site for all to see. Funny, because I know of no GOPer who did that.
Advice: Fox won't be able to utilize your reporting skills since they demand fairness and balance.
Hopefully, you’ve learned what it’s like to be smeared.
No one objects to you not liking a certain person.
But, you can state your views with accuracy and fairness.
Why would anyone type such tripe? That is terrible English. Not your first language?
GOP_Lady "And who was it that actually attacked (Gov.)
Sarah Palins little children that you typed numerous times?"
Based upon the timely reports, of which the 'tip of the iceberg' is below (*),
that would be TeamRomney which attacked Gov. Palin.
So now that a FReeper answered questions for YOU, how about answering some for us?
Now that you people really f&cked up America, how is it working out for you?
Any apologies to the Mauck family from you or Romney?
Any apologies to the Circosta family from you or Romney?
Any apologies to the citizens of Massachusetts from you or Romney for the BIGdig coverup?
Any apologies to the citizens of Massachusetts from you or Romney for the decimation of the GOP?
Any apologies to the citizens of Massachusetts from you or Romney for imposition of socialized medicine?
Any apologies to the citizens of Massachusetts from you or Romney for usurpation of the Constitution to impose Romney's gay marriage?
Any apologies to the citizens of Massachusetts from you or Romney for his screw up of the economy (**)?
(*) -- "Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"
"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"
"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"
"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"
(**) -- Romney was a piss-poor Governor. Romney got a "C" rating from CATO. And that was BEFORE
Romney's Socialized medicine and coverup of the BIGdig kicked in. So the RomneyBOTs try to "spin history".
Note also that Romney also betrayed President Bush as Governor
(predicting what TeamROMNEY would do later in Election2008 to Gov. Palin, and then the GOP - i.e. Romney-backstabbing),
because Romney was also against the conservative tax cuts. Here are the facts from CATO.
"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

Since you have seen the video you should link us to it.
I have no video. I saw it live. I know what happened. It was a spur of the moment joke.
No, your reasoning is 'insane.' It's like dealing with children ... blah, blah, blah.

Are you disagreeing with yourself, or was your comment intended for the originator of Post #191 (sickoflibs)?
If the latter, it would have been nice if you pinged him.
You saw it at the Romney campaign site.
And where is your proof/evidence/links to substantiate this claim and comparison ? Screaming “you’re lying !” isn’t proof. None of you Slick Willardbots seems to ever be able to substantiate your claims, but you are experts at viciously and ruthlessly sliming and libeling people (as your posting history clearly demonstrates) who dare speak the truth and indeed those that provide clear-cut evidence and proof about your idol’s dishonesty and fraud.
I'm starting to think that you made that up since you won't post your source for that claim.
The tape and the actual setting (Willard stoking his RomneyBOTs)
are evidence which require GOP_Lady to either chose to apologize, prove it otherwise, or go away.
