I don’t care what sinks Romney, as long as something does and it’s done in the primaries. I don’t care who does it, either.

You gotta admit, Perry must have the balls of a brass monkey to attack Romney on illegal immigration, for Pete’s sake!
One wants to hire illegals and the other wants to give them in state tuition rates. Good grief.

Can we please find a real conservative who has a shot at winning this election??? Or are we going to have 2008 all over again?

You missed the point. It was that Mitt is a major flip flopper and says one thing and does another.

For the same people?

My condo association has a landscaping company that of course is all hispanic. I don’t dare throw my hat in the ring for the presidency because I’d be dead in the water if one of those guys was found to be an illegal and I didn’t do a thing about it.

Will Perry’s tied to massive illegal alien employer Bob Perry (Perry Homes) sink him? Give me a break. Both Mittens and Perry are damaged goods on this issue.

Dick Morris blew it tonight over on O'Reilly. He took Perry to task for interrupting Romney. However, it was Romney interrupting Perry as he told the story of Romney being caught twice with illegals doing his lawn work.

I literally want to reach through the TV and grab Morris by the neck. He has his nose so far up Romney's butt its disgusting. He WILL NOT say a good word about Perry come hell or high water. He WILL NOT say a BAD word about Romney come hell or high water.

Did you catch the Frank Luntz focus group? I wish he would've asked the question, "By a show of hands, how many of you are Mormons?" Yeah, that's under the belt, but applicable.

None of those people in the focus group came into the room supporting Perry. Maybe 1 dude out of 30 or so. Luntz is about to send me off the edge as well. I think I'm done with Fox News altogether. They have become as biased for Romney as CNN is for Obama. Maybe WORSE!!

“My condo association has a landscaping company that of course is all hispanic.”


Romney hired a legal immigrant from Colombian which was fine, but the man used almost exclusively illegal Guatemalans, they interacted with Mitt and his wife, speaking exclusively Spanish, for a decade, including Mitt’s time as a Governor, with high security, and background checks. Mitt pushed the workers onto other people, like his adult children.

In 2006, the Boston globe busted Mitt Romney for the illegals, it was a huge scandal. In the 2007 debates, Giuliani brought up Mitt’s “Sanctuary Mansion”, Mitt played dumb like he did in this debate and denied it, a few days later the Boston Globe gave it a shot, and guess who was there at Mitt’s house, the exact same situation, and the same Colombian with his illegal Guatemalans.

Your comparison is idiotic and ignores a real, and serious, 11 year period of actions and choices by a Governor, and now a Presidential candidate.
