    Condoleezza Rice Supports Amnesty for Illegal Aliens: Romney Should not pick as VP

    Bad news folks! Drudge Report is reporting that Mitt Romney might pick Condoleezza Rice aka Condi Rice as his Vice Presidential Running Mate.

    She is nothing but a Bush crony and will only remind voters of Bush, which will hurt Romney's chances of beating Obama.

    She is also supportive of Amnesty for illegal aliens via the George Bush era Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty that ALIPAC helped defeat several times!

    Spread the word! Call Romney's campaign about this!

    IF REPUBLICAN VOTERS INDICATE SUPPORT FOR A PRO AMNESTY CANDIDATE IN THEIR STRONG DESIRE TO REMOVE OBAMA FROM OFFICE (which all of us share), THEN THAT COULD ESTABLISH A MANDATE FOR AMNESTY!

    Vote in the ONLINE POLL against Condi Rice at http://www.DrudgeReport.com

    CONTACT MITT ROMNEY's CAMPAIGN TO SAY...

    "Mitt Romney, please do not pick Condi Rice as your running mate. She supports full blown Amnesty for illegal aliens and will remind voters of the failed Bush Presidency. America needs a clean start in the White House and no form of Amnesty for illegal immigrants as you promised us all, Mr. Romney"

    Condoleezza Rice’s speech hits immigration hot button

    Posted -22778 second ago.
    By Scott Bomboy




    Condoleezza Rice’s recent speeches have wowed Republican audiences, and they also apparently promoted ideas that may complement Mitt Romney’s immigration vision without exactly agreeing with it.
    Rice has been picking up momentum, at least among Washington insiders and some media types, as a possible game-changing running mate for Romney as vice president.


    But when it comes to immigration, Rice may fall between Marco Rubio and Mitt Romney on the issue.

    Rubio is the rising senator from Florida who was the speculated front runner for the vice presidential slot, until Rubio endorsed some immigration policies in June that differed from more conventional Republican reforms.

    So Rubio wasn’t at Romney’s big two-day event for donors in Utah last month, where Rice walked away from the scene, grabbing headlines for her impassioned lunchtime speech.


    The Huffington Post obtained audio of a similar speech Rice gave recently in Atlanta, and the former secretary of state’s view on immigration is clear: She’s pro-immigrant but also pro-reform.


    “You can come from humble circumstances, you can do great things. … It doesn’t matter where you came from, it matters where you’re going,” Rice said in a speech to a group of human resources professionals.

    “I do not know when immigrants became the enemy,” Rice says at one point, until her remarks are drowned out by applause.


    “Of course it is not just those who come here, but those who are here who happen to believe also that it doesn’t matter where you came from, it matters where you are going,” she added.


    It’s important to note that crowd erupted in cheers when Rice mentioned immigration reform, a message that Romney has also echoed.


    Equally important, Rice was able to equate the immigrant experience to her own childhood in Alabama, where she lived with segregation as a child, speaking in the third person.


    “And yet even though she couldn’t have a hamburger at the Woolworth’s lunch counter, her parents had her convinced she could be the president of the United States if she wanted to be and she became the secretary of state,” Rice says.


    But what did Rice really mean when she spoke about immigration reform?


    She also gave a speech in April in North Carolina that used some of the same language about immigration, but it lamented the failure of President George W. Bush’s attempts at immigration reform.


    “That immigrant culture that has renewed us … has been at the core of our strength,” she said at Duke. “I don’t know when immigrants became the enemy.”


    The Raleigh News & Observer said Rice remarked in April that one of her biggest regrets was the Bush administration’s failure to pass comprehensive immigration reform in 2007.


    President Bush’s plan tied border security and workplace enforcement measures to legalizing 12 million illegal immigrants and creating a temporary worker program.


    Senator Barack Obama voted in favor of the Bush plan, but a mix of Republicans and Democrats defeated it in the Senate. It was seen by many conservative Republicans as a form of Amnesty–the same description used to describe President Obama’s recent executive order.


    Romney has battled immigration as a campaign issue since President Obama signed that executive order to allow some illegal immigrants to stay in the United States, and since the Supreme Court overturned key provisions of Arizona’s immigration law.


    Both Romney and Rice criticized the Supreme Court decision on immigration, and said the current administration’s long-term immigration strategy is lacking.

    Democrats have criticized Romney’s position on strict state control over immigration border policy.

    ROMNEY NARROWS VP CHOICES; CONDI EMERGES AS FRONTRUNNER

    ROMNEY NARROWS VP CHOICES; CONDI EMERGES AS FRONTRUNNER
    Thu Jul 12 2012 19:30:01 ET

    **Exclusive**

    Late Thursday evening, Mitt Romney's presidential campaign launched a new fundraising drive, 'Meet The VP' -- just as Romney himself has narrowed the field of candidates to a handful, sources reveal.

    And a surprise name is now near the top of the list: Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice!

    The timing of the announcement is now set for 'coming weeks'.

    MORE

    It was Condi who received two standing ovations at Romney's Utah retreat a few weeks ago, and everyone left with her name on their lips.

    Rice made an extended argument for American leadership in the world.

    In recent days, she emailed supporters:

    "2012 is perhaps a turning point for the United States."

    "The upcoming elections loom as one of the most important in my lifetime," she warned. "I'm very often asked to speak about our current foreign policy and the challenges that lie before us. However, we, as a country, are not going to be able to address any of those international challenges unless we first get our domestic house in order."

    Condi Rice would give Romney's campaign a two for one demographic appeal to women and blacks. But the clear association with the Bush campaign would sink his ship.

    Bush Jr. left office as the most unpopular president in modern American history.

    Asking voters to vote for a member of Bush's inner most circle would increase the stench factor on this election seven fold!

    Romney won't be caught in public with George Bush for that reason. Now he is going to pick one of Bush's close advisers? I'm surprised he hasn't picked Jeb Bush.

    We can see from this who is advising Romney.

    I might feel differently if she had been an outstanding Secretary of State. She was not. In fact, we have had 3 female Secretaries of State with our last 3 Presidents, and in my opinion they all give women in politics a bad name.

    Agree, would it not be a neat idea to pick the best qualified rather then gender/race/beauty,etc, but again we live in the land of oz where common sense long ago left the room. How about picking someone good for America.........................
