Now that Mitt has abandoned his previous positions on taxes, health care, choice, and gun controlto move far enough right to gain the Republican nomination, do you expect him to moderate those view between now and November?

I liked both Romney and McCain before they decided to run for the Republican presidential candidacy. Their appeal was a rational, risk taking fiscal conservatism and an independent streak. But something happens to these guys when they run that destroys their integrity and makes it impossible to take them seriously. McCain got taken to the woodshed in S Carolina in 2000 and underwent a value change (and maybe a wife change as well) that made him unrecognizable by 2008. Mitt took the same trip only faster and farther in the last year. From pro-choice, pro rational constraints on guns, from pro-health care mandates (actually it was a conservative idea to begin with), etc. I don't mind if he says he changed his mind and gives his reasons for it, but instead he pretends that the never did those things. He's always been "pro-life", anti-health care mandate, pro NRA, etc. etc. Give me a break.

Maybe it something in the water...or the Kool Aid.

Lets look at the prmise a moment. WATU, you listed taxes, healthcare (I assume Obamacare), choice and the second amendment. So, you just identified some of the glaring differences between MR and comrade Obama.

If a voter goes to the polls and has a "choice" of voting for lower taxes, something other than Obamacare, gun ownership (as allowed in the 2nd amendement) and "choice" (I assume you mean the right to "abortion") that is already american law and can't be changed by the executive in power, doesn't that give the popularity quotient to MR over BHO? Just a thought.

Doesnt matter.. Mitt will never be Emperor.

This Imperial election cylce is now reduced to the Southpark choice between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich.

There really isnt enough difference between Romney and Obama to make a solid decision just like there was little difference between Obama and McCain.

Romney's record speaks for itself. The base of the GOP was not fooled by him; however, the media (all parts including Fox) managed to spin the message such that Mitt was painted as the only man who could beat Obama. Mitt is probably the only man who could lose to Obama.

Comparing Mitt to Barak is like comparing the food bill for a beagle to that for a St. Bernard.

I hope thats not the case since the devil we have has created something other than heaven on earth - at least where most of us live. I don't want to live in an american version of Moscow or Beijing or Pyongyang.

I think this will be a very entertaining election. Already, BHO's 'Forward' campaign is under fire.

RNC Hispanic outreach director: Romney ‘still deciding what his position on immigration is’

(AP)

WASHINGTON?The Republican National Committee is making efforts to target Hispanic voters in key swing states in preparation for the November presidential election. And by their own admission, they're still working out some of the kinks.

When asked during a meeting with reporters Tuesday how Republicans plan to convince Hispanics that their platform on immigration is better than the Democratic plan, RNC National Hispanic Outreach Coordinator Bettina Inclan declined to answer because, she said, Mitt Romney is "still deciding what his position on immigration is."

"I think, as a candidate, to my understanding, that he's still deciding what his position on immigration is, so I can't talk about what his proposal is going to be," Inclan said. "He's talked about different issues. What we saw in the Republican primary is that there's a very diverse opinion on how to deal with immigration, so, I can't talk about something if I don't know what the position is."

During the Republican primary, Romney took a hard line on immigration, positioning himself to the right of most of his Republican opponents on the issue. The presumptive Republican nominee has outlined his position on his campaign website, promising to expand the availability of visas for high-skilled foreign workers, implement a robust program to punish employers who hire illegal immigrants, increase border security and oppose any efforts to grant amnesty to those who enter the country illegally.

Democrats seized on the quotes when they were posted on Twitter. Moments after Inclan's comments, RNC spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski walked back the remarks.

"We never said the governor is still deciding on immigration, I want to make sure we are exponentially clear," Kukowski said. "We are going to be able to talk about Mitt Romney's position. Right now what we are here to talk about is what our outreach effort is going to be. I would ask that you give us a little time."

The RNC has assembled a team of six regional coordinators to conduct outreach efforts to Hispanics throughout the country and build grass-roots support.

After the incident, Inclan posted her own clarification on Twitter with a link to Romney's website: "I misspoke, Romney's position on immigration is clear."

I hope President Romney will protect the american people by protecting their sovereighnty and our borders better than either Bush or Obama.

Here is the way we should view illegals and our borders IMO - an analogy.

Two guys straight out of college decide to share an apartment for a year. (We'll call them John and Jim.) Both at first split all the expenses and responsibilities and both share all the costs for furniture, food, etc. After six months of a one year lease, John decides on his own that a friend, Jerry, should move in. Jerry hasn't got any money or job and will not assume any of the bills or responsibilites of the other two. Jim doesn't like the new "arrangement", but is powerless to do anything. As time passes, Jim wants the "moocher" to leave (he's loud at night, is drunk all the time and cusses like a sailor), but is constantly overruled by John. So, what should Jim do? Should he break the lease and leave. Should he "settle" for the arrangement and give in. Or should he try to forcibly remove Jerry for being the squatter he is. What would you do?

People have the right to give up their sovereighnty if they wish - knock themselves out so to speak. But they DO NOT have the right to deny soverieghnty to someone else. In other words, Jims sovereingty must "trump" Johns because they both live together and had a mutual agreement to begin with that John decided on his own to break. Soverieghnty is a right of a free people to protect themselves against outside intrusion. It is by necessity a human citizen's right that should not be infringed. Its why nations have borders in the first place.
