Mitt Romney: Republicans Should 'Swallow Hard,' Pass 'Permanent' Amnesty Bill
Breitbart ^ | 26 Nov 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 11/27/2014 6:42:56 AM PST by Cheerio

Former Massachusetts Governor and failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney believes Republicans should "swallow hard" and pass a permanent amnesty bill in the wake of President Barack Obama's executive amnesty that even Romney conceded would encourage more illegal immigrants to enter the country.

Well, if he is “conceding” that a blanket amnesty bill would “encourage more illegal immigrants to enter the country,” he's basically saying that he has no intention of running in 2016, and I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing. Thanks, Mitt.

Swallow hard; and should Repub Constituency then humm 'Hail to the Chief'. . .as their Leadership cast their votes? Thank You Mitt; for another reminder; why you should not 'run' a second time. Only problem; is that most of the 'acceptable' candidates - as deemed by your like-minded, Establishment Repubs, that is - think same. Those 'others', do not get time of day from Repub Leadership. . .all beyond pathetic. Why not try the novel, first. . .Close Border. . .FOLLOW laws; already, long in place; and if Government succeeds; we can up the ante. . . (Perhaps wiser; to tell us what you would do about ISIS and IRAN. . .)

Room for disagreement; but think one could legitimately consider. . .had Mitt been Prez; there would not have been the planned invites to come across our Borders and be rewarded - as was MO of Obama, Inc. (This tsunami did not 'just happen'. This an Alynsky MO from get-go.)

Think it more the case; that we would have had a more sane policy. ..yes; like follow the laws already in place - for starters - and secure border. Somehow, doubt too; that Ebola would be the political ' opportunity' that Obama has made of it - and with predictable disastrous consequences. (Maybe too; the Ebola 'unfolding' is Alynsky in action?)

Had we a Repub President. . .there would not have been a 'Benghazi';and certainly not, Ferguson. And we would not own, the worst boondoggle of 'health care'. And too; and not 'least'; our Military would still be in tact rather than in 'tatters'. And 'totalitarians' of whatever 'ism', would not be running our schools from Obama's 'Czardom', of Dept. of Education.

WhatEVER the case; we have one ugly 'turning of America'. . .and think only those who are America-hating, totalitarian Leftists (a redundancy here), suffering Classic Marxist Personality Disorder, are capable of so much destruction of a nation, good and great; while taking so much pleasure by it all. (Add a 'Muslim Complex'...and destruction factors.)

Are their serious issues with Mitt? Absolutely; both he and Jeb, (Boehner/McConnell) seem to suffer from same 'Party Muse'. If Establishment wins. . .and so likely that; we need to ask, if the 'fault is in their 'stars' of are they actually, fixable. (Much depends on 'good Repubs in Congress. ..)

OTOH. . .had we won the Presidency; we may not, now have House and Senate (Did Repub hierarchy sacrifice America for 'that' plan?). Too early to see our success; but our Establishment Repubs hardly instill confidence - and thus far; no evidence that we should be.)

Of course; there IS absolutely power - and celebration - in numbers; and we need to continue to allow good Repubs to succeed. . .because they will eventually; outnumber those who are 'less than'.

Don’t vote for democrats, regardless of their party affiliation.

Good advice; include here 'any Office'. . .no Dems, period; and that includes 'Office' of 'Mosquito Control' as well.

Ah, this would make it a TURD run. He ran in 2008 and in 2012.

Am hoping, Repubs are not put in this place 'again'. .although; all signs appear to be, that our Repub Establishment, (no question they can match Obama's 'poke in the eye') will do just that. . .but to point; yes per the 'evil'. There is, also; the 'point' of a a lesser evil; or greater as in, 'much greater'. Think too; ignorance an easier word for mindless, shallow thinking Repubs. ..whereas 'evil', simply fits, those whose day begins with; 'how to maximize' their efforts to usurp the 'Freedom' of all citizens/individuals. ..who are not useful idiots; and who are likewise, committed Leftists. . .

“How do you deport 15 million people? One at a time...does not matter how long it takes...”

If they go Greyhound at 49 passengers a pop, it works out to slightly more than 300,000 trips. Could be done in less time than the Kenyan fraud has been in office.

(OK, cricket. ..try again; that did not make sense. Just for 'record'. . .)

Think too; ignorance an easier word for mindless, shallow thinking Repubs. ..whereas 'evil' simply fits, those whose day begins with the thought, 'how can I maximize' my efforts to usurp the 'Freedom' - the inalienable Rights - of any/all citizens/individuals who still are enjoying and benefitting from such 'privelege'. ..

” Now you know why I didn’t bother to vote for Romney in 2012.

He would have done the same thing as Obama.”

Romney would have done it immediately.

I'm tired of GOPidiots telling me to "swallow" or "hold my nose" or some other nonsense while they destroy this Great Republic.

Screw You, Mitt R0mney.

Here we see that if he’d won, he’d cooperate w/congress to do this.

See the articles about how Boehner is annoyed with The Won about his monomaniacal ukase on immigration? Because it makes it harder for the Chamber types (like Boner) to "work with" the _Resident and "reach across the aisle" to grasp the cold, clammy hands of Red Nancy and Hairy Reid.

In short, Boner wants amnesty, covered up with fig leaves. But Barky the sometime Rent-Boy wants to shove it down Boner's throat in Macy's storefront window instead.

Cheap theater, if you can stand the dramatis personae of diseased personalities and the constant distraction of green eyes glowing in the dark.

How do you know?!

That Amnesty is as much a Chamber wet dream as it is the Rats' ..... and as for Mittens getting crossways with the Chamber, hell, he is the Chamber! He chairs their secret-handshake meetings and goes to the Build-a-Burger lodge hideouts.

Mittens is your ultimate NWO billionaire Suit first and foremost, and a Republican for convenience. And camouflage.

And I’d vote against Obama again.

Let's say you DID vote "against" Obama. The act necessarily entailed voting for something else. Exactly -- what was it that you voted for when you voted "against" Obama? You cannot do one without doing the other.

Good moral righteous Christians were ELOQUENT in describing what they were voting "against" when they voted for Romney in 2012. They none of them, not a single one, were capable of owning up to what they were voting FOR in order to vote "against" Obama.

Voting "against" is chasing unicorns.

I am voting for the less liberal who is more conservative. registered in the Republican party.

There. I fixed it for you. Robert, I don't know how long you've been voting Republican straight ticket, but I did it for about 35 years, up until 2012. In other words, I've already tried your approach, and honestly, I see NOW that what I used to do, and what you are still doing, is the real "cutting off their noses to spite their face."

It only took me 30 years to figure out that my approach then -- and your approach still -- is the fulfillment of Einstein's definition of insanity.

I hope you figure it out soon and start voting to WEAKEN leftists/statists regardless of their party affiliation. ONLY then will things start to turn around. As long as you are willing to vote for Republicans like Romney, you are voting TO harm America, although your intentions may be the opposite. There is a wise old saying, however: The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
