I think Romney lost the election today. I had considered a vote for him on the reasoning that holding my nose and voting for him would be some little way of getting back at the partisan media and the cultymarxy group that backs Obama. I was telling myself that a decent White man would be better then the obamanation in the White House. But he blew it for me and likely many many other fence sitters. Four more years of Obama, well deserved by the Repukelicans who cannot and will not nominate a man with any kind of true conservative principles.

Romney's Surrender On Amnesty—It's Not A DREAM, It's A Nightmare[/h]By

The first thing to grasp about Romney’s surrender to Obama’s
Administrative DREAMnesty:
- It envisages an upcoming Amnesty.
Romney told
The Denver Post
“The people who have received the special visa that the president has put in place, which is a two-year visa, should expect that the visa would continue to be valid. I'm not going to take something that they've purchased," Romney said. "Before those visas have expired we will have the full immigration reform plan that I've proposed.
…Romney said in a sit-down interview with The Post aboard his campaign bus ahead of a Denver rally that he would work with Congress in the first year to pass permanent immigration reform legislation. [Emphasis added]
Mitt Romney would honor Obama administration's illegal immigrant work permits by Allison Sherry October 2, 2012
The only way to avoid the
legal obligation to deport these
thieves is to give them amnesty
As Patrick Cleburne
blogged earlier, Romney has morphed
into Rick Perry—adopting the
dovish stance on illegal immigration that justly
destroyed Perry’s candidacy.
But secondly, and even worse:
- Romney has acquiesced in what amounted to a Coup d’état–
Obama’s short-circuiting of the legislative process was called by Senator Sessions “
a direct threat to the rule of law.†This coup is so egregious that Senate candidate
Ted Cruz (like
Sessions a lawyer) has declared that the policy
should be reversed and
deportations commenced.
The correct response to Obama’s action – regardless of the merits of the policy itself—would have been to
defend the Constitution. If need be by
Impeachment. American love their Constitution and Romney would have been
a hero.
As it is, he appears–like a politician.
Why? Surely this
businessman cannot be so innumerate to take the
Hispanic vote myth seriously. Does he really think that having repelled the
Paul vote and
Blue collar women by his
belligerence and the social conservative vote by his
arrogant blunder over
Chick-fil-A, he can afford dishearten immigration patriots too?
John Derbyshire has
suggested that Romney is
A cluelessly unimaginative member of the "Extreme Center"…genuinely uncomfortable dealing with ideas outside the narrow scope of core conventional wisdom (as defined, of course, by the media lefties, academic log-rollers, and corporate PR flacks).
An alternative explanation, unfortunately, is that he has been corrupted by the same
mysterious force which induced the House Republicans to
flout their mandate after the 2010.
Either way Romney’s fitness to be President is in question.
But since the likely consequence of this
stupidity is a
low white turnout, the question is probably academic.
