I thought Perry’s ‘heartless’ comment would fade away, but it really got to people. I’ve been all over the place on who to support since Palin didn’t get in, and I am stymied.
To let you know how I feel about Romney, all I need say is that I live in Massachusetts, and was living here when he was governor.
Ugh.
Not a chance. For many of us, stopping illegals is one of the top problems. He could have said that the tuition thing was a mistake or he could have made some other excuse, but instead attacked US citizens as heartless for not supporting illegals and the destruction of the country.
He showed that he was a part of the problem and someone we could NOT count on. There is no way anyone can seriously think he wouldn’t support an amnesty after those comments. Maybe he wouldn’t but all trust was gone.
He NEVER recovered and he never will. I seriously doubt he could win re-election as governor at this time either.
What’s really stupid and to show how really tone-deaf the beltway can make you, was Newt’s illegal lovefest shortly after. He was starting to get traction as the anti-Romney after the press hounded Herman Cain out of the race, when he felt the need to state his support of illegals.
Coulped with his problems with global-warming and some other less than Conservative ideas, he felt the need to shoot himself in the head AKA Rick Perry.
The American people want illegals removed, the border sealed, and they want it overwhelmingly. Pandering to illegals is NOT a smart position.
