MITT MIFFS W ON BORDERS (Bush exasperated with Romney's hard-line immigration stance)
NY POST ^ | February 2, 2008 | Robert Novak

Posted on 02/02/2008 12:44:12 PM PST by Liz

President Bush has maintained neutrality but privately expresses exasperation with Romney's hard-line stance on immigration......Bush is upset Romney changed his position at the expense of the president's immigration reform. Bush and McCain are not close, but he's grateful for McCain's support on Iraq and immigration.

Florida Gov. Crist's unexpected late endorsement, which helped propel McCain to victory, was an unpleasant surprise to state Republican leaders. Crist had said he was not making an endorsement after shunning Giuliani's courtship and suggested that they also stay neutral. His support for McCain irked Republican activists who generally would have preferred former Romney. Romney carried heavily Republican Collier and Lee counties in SW Florida by substantial margins.....voters McCain will have to win over if nominated.

In the months following 9/11, I really loved this guy. Now I think that President Bush needs to STFU, finish out his lamebrain term, go the hell back to Crawford and go fishing with his equally pusillanimous old man.

Dubya shouldn't be too concerned. Stick around a bit and ole Multiple Choice Mitt will change his position several times.

It's people like you that will lose America for us. Thanks....

Um, no. That is being done courtesy of the GOP, the RINO's, and those who support them.

Is that so? Care to elaborate or was that just a drive by?

I had to chuckle at your emotional outburst since I served 20+ years as an Army officer and was stationed in Germany when the Berlin Wall came down.

Get a clue. I'm not running for office and I've lived and advocated the only thing that will ever save America: conservative values. If America is lost its because a bunch of idiotic fools have voted for candidates who have no core conservative convictions who will sell us out over and over again. Their names be Romney, McCain and Huckabee.

Oooohh... Lookie! Huckabee flip-flops and signs Sessions pledge.

http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/02/02/politics/fromtheroad/entry3782461.shtml

TUSCALOOSA, ALA. — Mike Huckabee has changed his mind and will sign an Alabama senator’s immigration pledge for presidential candidates - an effort to defeat the McCain-Kennedy proposal in the U.S. Senate.

I do know that you have served our country in the military....thank you for that. But that makes it more astounding to me that you would not support Romney over McCain...those are our choices. McCain is the flip-flopper, btw. Like Ann Coulter said, McCain is so tough on terrorists, but he’s against pouring water down their noses.
