Maybe we should put the nation on Cruz Control?

How many low information voters still believe Romney is against amnesty?

He quit on the issue in the general.

Tancredo and NumbersUSA endorsed Santorum. Im pretty sure even in the primary, Romney wanted a massive amount of guest workers. He promised all these tech workers and he got 20% of the Indian immigrant vote.

I don’t even see how guest workers help pander to Hispanics. I’m sure all these Hispanic voters get all excited about how many slaves Zuckerberg gets to import.

“I believe the status of young people who come here through no fault of their own is an important matter to be considered, and should be solved on a long term basis so they know what their future would be in this country,” Romney said after a campaign stop in Milford, New Hampshire.

“I think the action that the president took today makes it more difficult to reach that long term solution because an executive order is, of course, a short term matter and can be reversed by subsequent presidents,” Romney said.

“I would like to seek legislation that deals with this issue and I happen agree with Marco Rubio as he looked at, considered this issue, he said that this is an important matter that we have to find a long term solution,” Romney said.

King, who is from Iowa, said that Florida Rep. David Rivera’s bill, called “Studying Towards Adjusted Residency Status Act,” or STARS – which was introduced in May – “meets the definition of amnesty.”

There are other alternatives to voting for the faux conservative and staying home - you could write in the candidate that best represents your convictions.

“To this day, no one knows what Mitt Romney’s reason is for being involved in political campaigning.”

That’s not hard to figure out. As a young boy, he was a firsthand eyewitness to his father’s defeat at the Republican convention. I think that he has carried the sting of that his whole life, and he has always wanted to succeed where dad failed.

Unequivocally Fk U Mitt...

I was convinced by JR and Dr. Wheeler, at the last minute, to support this POS.

I won’t be doing it again and if you send another like him, Dole or any Bush, even so much as enters the race, I’ll quit that day and there supporting anyone.

I’ll keep my money and spend my time on more pleasing activities...like making money.

Results are unambiguous.

Romney shouldn’t remind you of President Nixon.

Romney has a single victory to show for his entire decades old political career, he failed in that office and gave up running for reelection and left with 34% approval.

Navy Lt. Commander Richard Nixon came out of WWII and became a two term Congressman, sworn in one year after resigning his Navy commission.
Congressman Nixon later won office as a United States Senator, and then served as a two term Vice President of the United States as veep he ran for and lost that 1960 presidential election by only thousands of votes.

Mitt Romney is a true loser, with almost nothing to show for decades of campaigning, except that one lonely, less than 50% election win which ended in failure, his having to give up his plan for reelection, and losing the seat to democrats after his having been the 4th GOP governor in a row.

Chaffetz sold out like many of the flip flop Mormon Republicans like Jeff Flake, Romney,Issa and Buck McKeon.

I dont know if regular Mormons get asked about their views on illegals.

I agree and think that he blames conservatives and Christians for the shame and embarrassment heaped on his parents, both his anti-war father, and his pro-abortion Senate candidate of 1970, mother.

That would also explain why he left the party because of Reagan, and didn't become a republican again (after supporting the democrats) until Clinton was in the White House.

Romney and anyone named Bush should sit this one out. And all the rest of them too.

“If one looks back over the political history of this country, there is only one other man other than Richard Nixon who has been his party’s nominee for president or vice president five times. That is Franklin Roosevelt.”

I don’t want to see a Romney, Bush, Newt, Santorum, Bachmann, Paul, Huckabee or Northeastern/Midwestern Ripon Republican of any kind.

Yep, and Nixon won 4 of his five, while it is widely agreed that the 1960 election was stolen from him.

Seriously, the only ones that I know of who actually want Romney to run again are Democrats and Democrat flacks in the lamestream media.

It’s not insanity when it’s done on purpose. Welcome to the one party system. The RINOs wanted obama to win in ‘08 so they got McDingbat to pimp him. They wanted obama to win in ‘12 so they ran the goofiest candidates they could find. They want obama to win in ‘16 so they’ll run the same tried and true losers again. Ok, fine, if hussein hasn’t completely destroyed the Constitution by ‘16 they’ll have to run Hillary but the final vote tally will be the same.
