“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.

Could it be that Saint Romney is a liar?

**gasp**

Hunter’s criticism of Romney over this issue is well aimed. We need someone in the white house who isn’t a johnny-come-lately on this issue.

GWB-part II. No thanks, dude...

[AmericanInTokyo]

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.

[JustaDumbBlonde]

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.

[AmericanInTokyo]

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.

Only two men in the race with the authority to talk to me about immigration.

[TheHound]

My dilemma is, could I vote for him over Hillery, I hope I do not have to make that judgment.

[TheLion]

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!

[ansel12]

But at least Romney didn’t have illegals working at his home for most of the last ten years has he?

That would indicate a crack in his record of perfect consistency on issues dear to the conservative movement.

[no-to-illegals]

if Romney wins he nomination, Romney will not be able to stand up to the democrats for their support of amnesty, open borders, supporting an illegal invasion, sanctuary cities.....because Romney’s record will effectively give the democrats an out, and means to beat Romney by saying, We (democrats) supported the same policies Romney did. This is nothing more than a set-up to help the democrats win the White House....Then both the democrats and the republican nominees will go wild with promises of gift programs....different parties....same philosophy.....mho

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

What a dump truck load of bullsh*t from this guy.
