“But, as we noted in August, he didn’t do so until he had less than a month left in his term. He was already considering running for president, and the new governor-elect was expected to rescind the arrangement.”
He “changed his mind” on a lot of issues, just in time to run for POTUS.

Hunters criticism of Romney over this issue is well aimed. We need someone in the white house who isnt a johnny-come-lately on this issue.

It, too, think he is BS'ing us on this, and he thinks we are too stupid to dig deep for the facts.
Well, somebody just dug.

Yeah, and he’s a lifelong hunter too ... if you consider twice in 50 years to be lifelong. It’s all just a matter of one’s perspective. I won’t be voting for Romney-come-lately.

Most of us went hook, line and sinker for this crap with Bush II, the first time out. Not again. This guy’s conversion was waaaaay too late in the game.

Romney is just taking the clinton/liberal media bait. Clinton/obama are setting up the stage to make immigration an issue and bring out the blowhard buchanan/tancredo types on FR with their bomnast. Immigration didn't work for the GOP in last Tuesday's election Virginia election and the democrats know it, but like the definition of insanity of doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, the blowhard kneejerk wing of the GOP still uses the same tactics.
DES MOINES, Iowa--Barack Obama said publicly Thursday what many Democrats are fretting about privately these days, which is that the Republicans will be coming after them next year on the issue of immigration and they'd better get ready. Obama made that observation when my colleague Shailagh Murray and I asked him about immigration during an interview aboard his campaign bus in Iowa. "My estimation is that the Republicans will run on two issues, and two issues only," he said. "Terrorism and immigration. That is going to be their campaign." During two days of town hall meetings in southeast Iowa, before otherwise friendly audiences of Democrats, Obama was repeatedly challenged on immigration. The sense of frustration and anger about illegal immigration was evident at virtually every stop and it seemed a harbinger of what could be the Democrats most difficult challenge in 2008. Obama said Democrats must do two things. First, make "absolutely clear" that their party is determined to shut down the flow of illegal immigrants into the country, but, second, to do so in a way that shows the United States can be a "nation of laws and a nation of immigrants at the same time." Obama accused Republicans of trying to demagogue the issue but sounded wary about whether Democrats are equipped to counter GOP attacks. "There's no doubt there will be attempts made to hit whoever the Democratic nominee is on this issue. And we have to stand our ground and not be defensive." On this subject, Obama and former President Bill Clinton agree. The former president is known to believe that of all the issues likely to be at the forefront of the 2008 campaign, immigration holds the greatest potential peril for the Democrats
I posted this Dan Balz, Washington Post writer article, but it was deemed as flame bait.

I'm not a Hunter supporter but one test I have in determining if I'll vote for a candidate is that I'm able to believe the words coming out of their mouths and Romney fails that test for me unfortunately because is if was more trustworthy I could get behind enthusiastically if my chose fails in the primaries.

He’s laying his bets on spending mass amounts of money on fooling the masses. He’ll show up in a state, buy up as much ad space as he can and then say whatever he needs to say to push his poll numbers way up.
It’s why he’s doing well in Iowa, NH and SC but not the rest of the country. That’s where he’s dumped a whole lot of cash.

The state is a mental mess. There are few if any real ideological stars. The institutions are all old and their main function is to keep funding, to keep themselves going.
The state is literally growing old.
It is losing population.
The people that stay are elderly, government hacks and their wards, and illegals.
Everything is basically, illegal, unless you kiss some government functionary arse.
Many of the old mill towns are mini Detroits.
There’s lots of money to be made by ‘reform’ plans that channel gov money into the usual suspects pockets.
Many state employees, once they get their pension, or second pension, or third state pension, leave the state for Florida. I could go on. On the bright side, I think I'll live long enough to piss on Ted's grave.

Who else was worried about “sanctuary cities” or getting police involved in immigration, at this time? Actually Romney was a little ahead of the curve!

“That’s bad enough. But, as Michelle Malkin has revealed, under Giuliani, New York was an illegal alien sanctuary and “America’s Mayor” actually sued the federal government in an effort to keep New York City employees from having to cooperate with the INS:
“When Congress enacted immigration reform laws that forbade local governments from barring employees from cooperating with the INS, Mayor Rudy Giuliani filed suit against the feds in 1997. He was rebuffed by two lower courts, which ruled that the sanctuary order amounted to special treatment for illegal aliens and were nothing more than an unlawful effort to flaunt federal enforcement efforts against illegal aliens. In January 2000, the Supreme Court rejected his appeal, but Giuliani vowed to ignore the law.”
If you agree with the way that Nancy Pelosi and Company deal with illegal immigration, then you’ll find the way that Rudy Giuliani tackles the issue to be right down your alley.”
