“Bullsh*t. Look at his Senate voting record.”
Ok. He voted against illegal immigration related enforcement bills (with his best buddy McCain), and he was key advocate in McCain-Feingold free speech restrictions. He did not introduce a single bill to enforce the immigration law while he was in senate. He had the opportunity.
Now, I have been told, he is strongly against illegal immigration, and in favor of free speech.
Why didn’t he do anything when he actually had a chance? He would be more credible now had he actually done something in senate.
His Senate record on immigration rates about a “C+” with a tendency to favor LEGAL immigration while not favoring ILLEGAL.
Is his recent “conversion” to an immigration hardliner suspect? Perhaps slightly...and I say slightly because FWIW his Senate record on immigration was still better than McCain’s, Brownbacks, or Rudy, Romney’s, or Huckabee’s records in their most recent political offices.
I’m much more suspect of Romney’s recent conversion to pro-life.
No he didn't.
and he was key advocate in McCain-Feingold free speech restrictions.
Which he's already turned around and said was a bad idea, and that he doesn't support it anymore.
He did not introduce a single bill to enforce the immigration law while he was in senate. He had the opportunity.
II wasn't even on the political radar screen back when FDT was in the Senate. Might as well accuse him of doing nothing about internet gambling, while yer at it.
Oh, and btw, the context for RinR's comment was ABORTION.
