The sub on Levin’s show tonight said Romney needs to come out with a statement this weekend that slams Bamster for breaking the law/skirting the Constitution and Congress.
Romney’s tepid, timid response confirms all of the misgivings that I’ve had about him. He is so afraid of making a mis-step that he won’t take a hard stance on anything that might have a whiff of controversy to it....he is a poster boy for all that is wrong with politicians in general and RINOs in particular!
Could be Romney will take a dive like Juan McLame did..
Really running the inventor of Romney-care against the inventor of Obama-care..
IS STUPID... on so many levels its hard to know to where to start..
Agree that Romney should have been much stronger. This is not about immigration, it is about the Rule of Law and the responsibility of the Executive Branch to enforce our laws. If a President doesn’t like a law passed by Congress and signed by another President, the current President cannot unilaterally decide not to enforce it or to make up new ones. This is a constitutional crisis, but the idiots in Congress will do nothing even if their own power and authority are being usurped by the Executive Branch.
Romney Sucks!
Why would anyone, ANYONE, be surprised when Romney continues to disappoint? Even if the Obama team sees this as a trap, it’s a trap any sane person should jump at. So we have an immigration problem. So what? Does the fact that Congress can’t agree on something give the president the right to act like a king? No.
We know Obama’s core constituents on the left will love this, including doing it by imperial decree. They really don’t care about the law or democracy. Seriously. The left only plays along so long as it wins. If winning means upholding the law, they’ll use the law to strong arm their opponents. If the law opposes what they want, they’ll try to get it redefined by the courts, and if that fails, they’ll do whatever they please in spite of the law.
Leftists are rebels. They rebel against any authority other than their own, including God’s. They hold a lot of the key cards, like our schools and the media, but they do not necessarily have enough to make a political majority (as another FReeper pointed on another thread, they don’t really have a political majority, so the left is trying to import one).
The left has slowly worked its way through our institutions for decades, but it carefully (wisely as a political strategy) never revealed its true agenda. Even though they despise the rule of law and representative democracy, they were always careful to mouth the right words in public.
Well, now NO ONE has an excuse for not knowing what the left wants. We aren’t voting for a constitutionally limited president. Next election, we’re voting for a king.
King Obama just made this proclamation today and people expect Rommney to have an immediate perfect response? I'm no fan of Rommney, but I didn't expect a forceful response from such an obvious trap by Bambi.
Give him a day or 2 to see if he realizes the significance. If he doesn't, all is lost. If he does and makes the point about over-stepping Executive authority and ignoring law and minimizes the stupid we-are-the-children-of-the-world talking points, then maybe he is smarter than we think.
Yes, this could be the breaking point.
Romney is for amnesty and like the others on the Republican channel was forced today to make believe he opposes this when he really wants fully amnesty.
Watching amnesty hawks McCain and Graham-nesty fake outrage on this was sicking. They are complete fakes. They are mad they didnt get the credit for this.
Dems may be socialists, they may be Marxists, but at least they believe in something. Republicans make me sick.
RINOs don’t like condemning executive overreach because they don’t want it to come back and bite them when they do it later on.
first he puts the dog on top of the car, and now this...
Vote for Virgil Goode, instead! Just do it! Vote for an actual conservative with an actual conservative voting record and much more political experience than Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, and Gary Johnson, combined!
Romney only cares about being elected he has no, conservative agenda for America, no core beliefs.
This election will come down to ideology. There is a unabashed hard core liberal running against a liberal Trojan horse pretending to be a conservative who is without any core conviction or belief.
I wont vote for either but I suspect the majority of Americans will vote for the guy who is not afraid to put his core beliefs on the line..
Even more confusing to me is the fact that in the oath of office, the President of the United States swears to uphold the laws and Constitution of The United States of America. It does not say uphold the laws of the United States of America that he likes. It does not say he can ignore the laws of the United States of America that his does not like!
I think Obama is trying to provoke a Constitutional Crises and racial division and probable great violence in our great nation. If the next election is run by normal standards Mr. Obama will be defeated in an epic landslide.
Mr. Obama is desperate and will use desperate means to try and retain his quasi Fascist power.
Prior to Mr. Obama, George McGovern was the most left wing candidate that the Democrat party had every run. Mr. McGovern was a decorated B24 pilot in World War II. Although I disagreed with George McGovern's political philosophy, never for even one instant did I ever doubt his love for our nation and honor. THIS CAN NOT BE SAID FOR BARRACK OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Romney was not my pick either. But he is smart to not fall into Obama’s trap and immediately allow Obama’s gang to accuse him of being a kneejerk racist, Mexican-hater whose own father comes from Mexico.
This is already unfolding badly for Obama as the story is about Obama’s desperate move to foment civil unrest by illegal usurpation of congressional authority to influence the election. Everybody can see this for what it is. Obama has put a lot of democrat congressmen and senators at risk with this move. Let them answer for this and not allow the press to change the subject to Romney’s immediate, ‘anti-hispanic’ rant.
Ginsburg has tipped the hand that Obamacare has been highly contentious in the SC. This means that it is going down, 5 - 4. Take that and Obama’s lawless abuse of power and let his democrat minions in congress go out and defend him, and by association, his disastrous lack of leadership on the economy and everything else. Of course Romney will say what we expect him to say, but why allow the focus to be anywhere but where it should be right now - the out of control, disaster of a president we have.
I want Obama out and I want Pelosi and Reid and the insufferable democrats out front, defending this disaster. Just seeing Schumer and Wasserman Schultz out there pimping for Obama’s sorry ass is worth the backlash it will bring. This move today and next week’s Supreme Court decision belongs to the democrats - let them get out front and repeat their great success from the 2010 mid-terms. Romney will get his chance.
And, where are the GOP reps in the House with calls to impeach??
Oh, that's right, the GOP hasn't had a spine implant. Sorry I asked.
If Obama's latest outrage doesn't get him booted from office, what will?? This is not a smart or popular move.
The Bishop has proxies to bark at the intruder. It’s enough for now.
All the radio jocks can blabber all they want, candidates for POTUS must calculate. That’s the stupid reality of the game.
I expected better from Team Romney. Not that I think Romney has any real principled stand on the issue (I don’t) but just because this is such a great opportunity to slam Hussein. For the last few weeks TR has been sparring relentlessly and to good effect. Today Hussein led with his chin and Romney missed a great chance to send him to the moon. Mitt can make it up on Sunday, but hitting back hard today would have been much better.
