Fishin' for comments on the Rogue...
Romney also has the support of Jim DiMent, so you are going to have to use better logic...
Romney is gyrating all over looking for supporters. To be a "Republican" elected politician in a hard blue state of the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts, you have to be all over the map. Mitt Romney is nothing remotely resembling a conservative.
To be a Romney supporter this early in the race, means that you must be coming out of the closet if you have previously exhibited conservative traits and tendencies.
I assume that you mean Jim DeMint when you mention the name above saying I am wrong? He has been on the conservative side of the issues including the S.2611 vote.
With real conservatives forming exploratory committees for the presidential race and more to come, an early support pledge for a "center to left" moderate speaks volumes about Senator DeMint. There is still a whole year in which to look over candidates credentials.
Sorry Mike, my logic holds up!
From your web site on Willard M. Romney:
4. Getting Immigration Right:
Immigration has been an important part of our nation’s success. The current system, however, puts up a concrete wall to the best and brightest, yet those without skill or education are able to walk across the border. We must reform the current immigration laws so we can secure our borders, implement a mandatory biometrically enabled, tamper proof documentation and employment verification system, and increase legal immigration into America.
###
(1) LEGAL Immigration has been an important part of our nation’s success.
(2) The current system puts up a concrete wall to the best and brightest. [Only because politicians like Bush and the senate RINOs, the national Chamber of Commerce, plus a weird coalition of Democrats and the AFL-CIO all want to import cheap uneducated low wage labor. The best and brightest do not fit into this political paradigm.]
To get immigration "right" we simply have to do the work politicians are unwilling to do. Enforce the law and actually deport illegals instead of practicing catch and release.
We have perfectly adequate laws to deal with the situation RIGHT NOW! We have the manpower to do the job, RIGHT NOW!
All calls for reforming immigration laws are to dilute and water them down, allowing law breakers an easy path to citizenship when all they deserve is deportation at the very least.
Mr Romney is not any different than George Bush on this or he would have said it in clear unambiguous language.
Bush says he opposes an easy path to citizenship and then proposes a $2000 price tag. Does Mitt raise it to $3000, or higher? What other fake punishments does he propose before bestowing the boon of citizenship as a reward for breaking the country's immigration laws?
Current immigration law, when enforced, makes border jumpers felons and unacceptable as citizens.
Can Mitt just call for enforcement of immigration law instead of trying to water it down?
Q. What is Mitt is seeking to do?
A. He wants to reform access to the USA for legal immigrants making it as easy as walking across the border like the illegal aliens do now.
SORRY DUDE! (NOT!) I want to keep immigration law restrictive so we do get the best and brightest, not just the dregs of the world.
We are NOT the world welfare agency!
On this basis alone, Mitt Romney is unacceptable as a candidate for president to me, though he has enough other socially liberal "warts".
