that's because he holds all positions on immigration simultaneously. it's a quantum superposition.

Never fear! The Romnoid Quantum OS™ is capable of holding all possible positions simultaneously!*

He doesn't have to worry about the immigrant vote. They will all self-deport before the election.

AdolfOliverPanties: He doesn't have to worry about the immigrant vote. They will all self-deport before the election.

But never fear, because that might not happen, so the GOP is doing everything they can to restrict voting rights. After all, democracy is the best when the fewest possible people vote, especially when the ones that are left are white, elderly and conservative.

He doesn't have a position on immigration, but some of his closest friends own companies that cook food in foil.

No no, the talking point du jour is that Obama is deporting too many latinos and lacks a strong, comprehensive immigration policy. Left unsaid this time is that they oppose all efforts to create any kind of coherent policy allowing any form of amnesty to anyone who is here either illegally or is the child of someone here illegally.

A Latino-vote outreach program on Tuesday plans to stress to voters that the president has failed on immigration reform and deported a record number of people, said the Republican National Committee's top Hispanic outreach coordinator.

Meanwhile, in the white side of town, their Hoverround outreach coordinator is yelling about how many of them damn illegals Obama has let into the country.

I guess his stance is still evolving. Why does that sound so familiar?

Romney's stances evolve based upon whatever he thinks his audience wants to hear at any given moment. Which is why he is completely against the failed auto bailouts but wants credit for their success and why he wouldn't move heaven and earth to get bin Laden but would have done the exact same thing as Obama.

What is Obama's stance on gay marriage again?
 
2012-05-08 07:34:39 PM
In fact, coordinator Bettina Inclan told reporters, Romney didn't have his immigration policy mapped out and the RNC would not yet be able to talk about it to Latino voters.



no, the truth is that the GOP (and Romney) do have an immigration policy mapped out (i.e. deport everyone everwhere immediately and build walls and gun towers) - its just that they know they can't tell anyone about it until AFTER the election. If latino voters knew Romney was going to just deport 'em all they might go vote for the other guy.

Total weaksauce on that too. Everyone knows what he thinks.

I suspect Mitt is probably supportive of the DREAM Act even though he told Alabama he is opposed to it. Now the the primary is over he's probably going to try and play that one down.

He supports gay marriage, and everyone knows it, but he thinks it is political dynamite because the majority of Americans don't yet support it. He has a position, he just isn't voicing it yet. And on just about every other position you know what he is for and again.

This is different from Romney, in that no one actually knows what his position is on ANYTHING at any point in time. And since he doesn't know what Hispanics actually support in terms of position, he's not prepared to say what he thinks they want to hear.

What's Romney's?

Sounds a bit like Obama's position on gay marriage.

"Do you support an amendment to define marriage as between one man and one woman?"

Obama: "The Constitution doesn't say anything about marriage."

This should have been followed up with "Since you're a complete and utter moron, or a complete and utter coward, a Constitutional Amendment is defined as a 'change to the Constitution'. The Constitution doesn't say anything about a lot of things until amendments are added to it. So what we just asked was 'Do you support changing the Constitution to... do this...' and your answer was 'The Constitution doesn't say a thing about that', so are you a moron or a coward?"

So perhaps he's just being like Obama, he doesn't want to actually say what his position is because he doesn't want people to know.

Basically Romney can support the position supported by the vast majority of Americans, which is strong immigration enforcement and border control, or he can support the position favored by the smaller but still significant number of people who don't like the idea of actually enforcing the law.

randomjsa: Sounds a bit like Obama's position on gay marriage..

Ah yes, that's the strategy as listed on page 268 of the GOP handbook - 'any time someone points out the GOP has changed its opinion on a hot button issue in order to pander to the unwashed masses, change the subject and accuse the Democrats have having done so first.'

you have successfullly applied The Formula to the thread and thus derailed the conversation away from the fact that the Republicans are in serious trouble. mathmatically speaking, this counts as a Win for you.
 
2012-05-08 07:58:47 PM
"But so far, it doesn't have a message on what Republicans would do on the issue themselves"

I think they can make this more general and say Rmoney has no plan except "I am not Obama (code word for black)

As a stoner, I'm quite opposed to actually enforcing the law.

Well, Romney's good buddy in Arizona who helped write the 'papers please' law admitted that he did it because he's afraid of white people losing their majority.
 
2012-05-08 08:05:23 PM
At this point it's clear that Mitt Romney is travelling faster than the speed of light and exists in all positions at once, but he has the great misfortune that his path to the whitehouse has an imaginary dimension. Thus he will continue to campaign in perpetuity unless the Earth force can obtain a Cosmo Cleaner. Hurry R-force, Mitt Romney only has 184 Earth days left!

. Kirsten Kukowski, a spokeswoman for the RNC, said message coordination between the RNC and the Romney campaign is still in its early stages because challenger Rick Santorum only dropped out of the race two weeks ago.

Oh, it's only been two weeks. Sure, Romney has been campaigning for five years, but two weeks is no time at all to get anything together when you're running for President.
 
2012-05-08 08:16:09 PM
He doesn't want to address the issue because people will find out he's an illegal immigrant from Mexico, and that his birth name was "Lupe," and that he went through gender-reassignment sugery.

Oh, also he had a twin sister who he killed and ate as a teenager.

Come on Mitt, prove me wrong.

I'm sure immigrants will support him. Some of his closet friends are owners of immigrants.

The_Sponge: What is Obama's stance on gay marriage again?

The opposite of whatever Mitt's stance on it is. Or at least, they will be opposites once Obama states what his exact stance on it is.

Then Mittens will come out in the opposite direction, as that is his only campaign tenet. Do the opposite of Obama.

I think he's for civil unions but not for extending "marriage" to homosexuals. I dunno, you could ask him. You'll get the same answer he gave last week, at least.

The_Sponge: What is Obama's stance on gay marriage again?

I hate this election year balancing-on-a-tight-rope shiat. I wish Obama had the balls to say all Americans deserve equal civil rights.

And Obama needs to slow down on deporting *all* the brown people. There's a tsunami of cases moving through the system and the judges are overwhelmed having to make these potentially life shattering decisions in less time it takes for most people to decide what to eat for lunch.

We need to prioritize. Put the troublemakers at the top of the list to get booted out of the country. Let's not deport the husband of an American gay man because the Federal government doesn't recognize their marriage as valid. And not deport people who have served for years in our own military.

I don't like Obama's position on these issues, but I expect Mitt Romney to be worse-- far worse. No matter who ends up president I will write, email, call & protest to give 'em a piece of my mind. That's *my* job.

You're funny. Not in a funny "ha ha" sort of way, or even a funny "oh man, that's so WRONG" sort of way. You're funny in the way testicular cancer is funny. You know, like how a cell mutates and grows wildly out of control and can only be killed with a massive application of nuclear poison and violent surgery. You're funny like that.

Was reading recently that delegates at Tampa can abstain in the first round, and vote unbound in the second round.

I'm sure that Mitt, with his hordes of devoted followers, will only have delegates that are loyal to him, and not any other candidate that may be running.

/Tampa should be lulztastic
//make sure you have popcorn ready when the Paultard delegates nominate Paul
