[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Pathetic.

PING!

Romney is the Republican Bill Clinton, an abject, perhaps even pathological liar who will say anything at any time if it helps him get votes or increase his poll numbers. He is a man without core values, principles or ethics. This fact has been proven again and again and again. The damage he will do to the Republican brand if he’s elected could be incalculable. After his first term, we just may see the return of something like that 40 years of darkness we spent locked out of the House.

Ouch, nasty result.

Romney is an exceptionally good liar.
He is an ENTITLED sociopath.

[ScottinVA]

Let me guess.. he learned to say “y`all” in Spanglish.

Willard sold out ? He can’t sell what he never had (then again, as a renowned pathological liar, that won’t stop him).

Please ping this to the Santorum list.

However, before we get on this bandwagon I believe a fact check is necessary. Other posters on Free Republic have stated that English was **NOT** made a requirement for statehood of Louisiana, California, or New Mexico, and have pointed out that as a practical matter, large parts of Pennsylvania were German-speaking rather than English-speaking at the time of the American Revolution.

This may be a case in which Romney's flip-flopping will badly backfire in the Republican primaries in certain states where anti-Hispanic sentiment is strong. However, antagonizing Hispanic voters who live in a territory whose residents have been citizens for more than a century is just plain stupid, and I'm worried that Republicans will end up shooting themselves in the foot for short-term gains on this issue.

As far as I'm concerned this issue of language is a state's rights question unless someone can show me otherwise from clear precedent.

If the case is to be made that you need to speak English to become a state, why do we have ballots in multiple languages and drivers tests given in spanish in many states in the USA?

Just axing.

Mitt Romney sold out his conservative principles.

Laughed so hard reading the first sentence that I couldn't read the rest.

[Venturer]

What Conservative Principles? Romney doesn’t have any Conservative Principles. He is a liberal from start to finish.

He is an Obama clone they forgot to tint.

Why are territories that do not chuse Electors sending delegates to a Presidential nominating convention?
