2012 Mitt Romney Speaks!

Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 4:08 PM

Well, he doesn't speak, but he allows his staff to write and publish words in his own name. Hours after the decision came down, Mitt Romney has finally released a statement to the press about today's Supreme Court ruling. Here it is:

Today’s decision underscores the need for a President who will lead on this critical issue and work in a bipartisan fashion to pursue a national immigration strategy. President Obama has failed to provide any leadership on immigration. This represents yet another broken promise by this President. I believe that each state has the duty–and the right–to secure our borders and preserve the rule of law, particularly when the federal government has failed to meet its responsibilities. As Candidate Obama, he promised to present an immigration plan during his first year in office. But 4 years later, we are still waiting.

That's a whole lot of nothing. I mean, that's about as much nothing as you'll ever see in one paragraph. Translated to human, it reads "I have policies I'm not going to tell you about, but I'll handle this way better than President Obama. Trust me." We still have no idea what Mitt Romney's immigration policy is. It's mind-boggling to think that he believes he can get through a whole presidential election without stating his beliefs on major issues. It's even more mind-boggling to think that he might be able to get away with it.

Yeah, Mitt's pathetic. But there are worse things in life, I suppose. Like being Paul Constant. Man, that would really suck.

Why does no one remember that Dream Act was proposed to Congress in 2009, 2010, and 2011, but Republicans thwarted it each time?

Romney is going to keep repeating this lie that Obama has done nothing - because all Romney HAS is lies - until people believe it's true. Not that it matters, because Latinos know he's full of shit.

@3 It doesn't count to have proposed legislation which did not pass.

And, the R's didn't block the pres's effort -- Obama 'failed' to get enough suppport.

See how that works?

Don't be stupid. We all know what Mitt Romney stands for. Zero taxation of the wealthy. Slashing public services. Endless war for the benefit of the military industrial complex. A constant supply of immigrants without rights to depress wages. All this "Oh, what are his policies?" bullshit is piss-poor "journalism" that enables Romney to masquerade as a moderate.
