Boston, MA – Today, U.S. Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) announced that he is endorsing Governor Mitt Romney and his campaign for President of the United States. Congressman Rohrabacher joins a strong Romney for President California team that includes Congressmen Howard "Buck" McKeon, John Campbell and Wally Herger.
Making today's announcement, Congressman Dana Rohrabacher issued the following statement: "Our country is facing great challenges. Among the most ominous is illegal immigration, which has been permitted to spin out of control for the last decade and a half. The safety of our country and the prosperity of our people are at great risk because of the magnitude of this problem. Mitt Romney is the candidate I trust most to take the steps necessary to secure our borders and protect the American people.
"Governor Romney can also be expected to provide strong economic leadership because he is the only candidate with private sector experience and a successful track record of creating jobs and managing a major corporation.
"I'm confident in Governor Romney's character and commitment to the principals at the heart of the Republican party. I cannot say that about the other candidates vying for the Republican nomination. Mitt Romney is the best candidate available for our party's nomination, and I'm going to vote for and support him. I encourage my fellow conservatives to do the same."

Here they come... Where were they when Thompson was still in it???
Dana is a good man and a strong conservative. He has been in congress for a good while and probably knows the candidates pretty good. I bet like Delay he has a lot of disdain for McQueeg.
Since the pool is shrinking I suppose people have to pick the best remaining.
when was that?
Yay! That’s a great endorsement right there. :)
Fred was never in it.....
Sad. So dies the Reagan revolution.
Romney is the only candidate I can vote for. Sad.
Congressman...do you know that at Free Republic, this makes you a RINO?
Yeah!
Romney/Barbour 2008
I suggest us conservatives need to get it together because no way in hell i’m voting for McCain and I think a lot of people here agree.
Romney/Thompson 2008!!!
Good, it’s time to unite around Romney and start focusing on Hillary.
The GOP can rot.
Chunga, good point. I think Mitt picks up some steam, and even though cameron said a few minutes ago that “fred didn’t have enough votes in florida to make any difference”, I think it will.
I picked Romney in 2006 for his position on amnesty, while Huck was still setting up the mexican consulate and trying to get free college for illegals.
Funny, but Romney won the CPAC staw poll at last year’s conference.
“I don’t care if the freaking Pope endorses that slick SOB, I will not vote for him.
The GOP can rot.”
“freaking Pope”?????
Do they allow you to say that at DU?
I guess you’d rather a Democrat in the White House?
