The post has finally discovered Romney’s fatal flaw - he’s just too darn conservative! </sarc>
” - - - as Perry was rising in the polls, Romney blasted the Texans support for granting in-state college tuition to illegal immigrants as a magnet drawing people over the border. If youre an illegal alien, you get an in-state tuition discount, Romney charged.”
Well, what do you know? I finally found something that I agree with Romney on.
BTW Romney, as President Romney you could create 11 to 12 MILLION jobs with a single stroke of your pen.
All these moderate voices are going to give Barry 4 more years.
Another Washington Post fiction article.
John McCain was even more pandering than Bush to the hispanics, yet he got even fewer hispanic votes than Bush.
That little bit of mathematical certitude seems to escape the Post. Republicans better learn that pandering to the hispanic vote and the Wall Street Journal/Chamber of Commerce demands for cheap illegal labor is a loser. The hispanics will still vote for the welfare state democrats, and Republicans will lose conservative voters who don’t tolerate law breakers and amnesty.
Perry and Gingrich began their fall from the top of the heap when they came out for the illegal alien pandering - cheap tuition and amnesty. Bush lost support when he tried to jam through the Amnesty act in 2006-7.
If the Republican candidate followed the Post strategy it would he would lose 7 out of 10 hispanic voters, like McCain, and he would also lose 3 million conservative voters like McCain.
Not a smart strategy.
Perhaps it's better to stop Hispandering and instead simply stand up for American sovereignty.
Elect Romney you’ve chosen AMNESTY..
That said, lets be serious here, just for a second, does anyone out there, really think he would not flip flop on this issue if he got elected (hell, even if he just got nominated?).
He is going to say whatever the hell he has to say on this, to get votes, he is about as sincere on immigration and Obama is on cutting spending.....
“Several leading GOP strategists say Romneys sharp-tongued attacks have gained wide attention in Hispanic media and are eroding the partys already fragile standing in that community.”
Then why didn’t you protect our borders so you wouldn’t have to pander to the children of illegals?
idiots.
wakeup YOU destroyed any future of the Republican party. Look in the mirror.
