The people in Iowa are all over the place----even on the Dem sites!!
They go from supporting Obama or Edwards, to supporting McCain if their candidate does not have a high enough percentage in Iowa or if Hillary wins the nomination!!!"We call things racism just to get attention. We reduce complicated problems to racism, not because it is racism, but because it works." --- Alfredo Gutierrez, political consultant.

When our new President Clinton gets in office i'm sure she will do the right this and deal with illegal immigration in a logical, realistic and compassionate manner. Thanks to all you phobies for splitting the vote and making this scenario possible.

Check out what he said back in 2005, in an interview with editors and writers at the Globe. Romney opined at the time that it would not be "practical or economic for the country" to deport all illegal immigrants, and here's what he had to say about the citizenship-pathway proposals being offered at the time by President Bush and McCain:
"They require people signing up for, registering and receiving, if you will, a number, a registration number, then working here for six years and paying taxes, not taking benefits — health, Medicaid, food stamps — and so on, not taking benefits, and then at the end of that period, registering to become a citizen or applying to become a citizen and paying a fee. And those are things that are being considered. I think those are reasonable proposals."

Now, perhaps you've convinced yourself that even with the immigration report card, his turning a blind eye in his own backyard in Massachusetts, and listening to even his own words, that he's ALWAYS been solid on immigration issues --> but, I can only go on the facts. It isn't what I believe. I believe both HIS and Huckabee's stances on illegal immigration have been spotty AKA less than impressive.
I believe Tancredo and Hunter's records were impressive. If looking at strictly illegal immigration, I believe even Thompson's record looks better if you don't squint too close.
Now, I may end up voting for Romney, if he ends up being the best we can get out of this field of candidates. But, it won't be with the belief that we will have acquired the BEST candidate for the job of taking care of illegal immigration.
