Romney is a little too late to save Immigration issue

A story is running in the Associated Press that Mitt Romney has now fired his landscaping company after Rudy called him out during the YouTube Debate. It would appear to be a little to late in order to save his perception in the immigration debate.

Republican Mitt Romney, ridiculed by rival Rudy Giuliani for employing illegal
immigrants at his "sanctuary mansion," said Tuesday he had fired the landscaper
for his suburban Boston home after learning for a second time about undocumented
workers laboring on the property.
In a statement issued after he concluded
his campaign appearances for the day, Romney said: "After this same issue arose
last year, I gave the company a second chance with very specific conditions.
They were instructed to make sure people working for the company were of legal
status.
"We personally met with the company in order to inform them about
the importance of this matter," he said. "The owner of the company guaranteed
us, in very certain terms, that the company would be in total compliance with
the law going forward."

Mitt, Huckabee, and Rudy in their own words

Here is the full version of the ad Fred Thompson ran at the CNN debate. It is amazing how these three cantidates who claim to be conservative are anything but that.

Celebrate Mitt Romney Tax Day!

Courtesy of the Fred Thompson Campaign



Mitt Romney says his government-mandated health care plan is one of his most important accomplishments as governor. But what does his plan really accomplish, and is this the kind of health care plan YOU would want to be forced to pay for?

Today, November 15th, Massachusetts residents who fail to register with the government and show proof of health care coverage will be slapped with a tax penalty for this year!

For individuals, the amount will be on average $219 this year and they will receive a punitive fine as much as $2,000 over the next year.1

Small business owner? It's even worse; you'll be fined $295 per employee who isn't enrolled in Romney's government-mandated health care plan!2

So what sort of services does Romney's health care plan provide?

Per the state website:

$50 co-pay for abortions3

While court mandate requires Massachusetts to cover "medically necessary" abortions in state-subsidized health plans4, Mitt Romney's plan covers ALL abortions - no restrictions.5

After it passed, Romney vetoed dental care for Medicaid recipients from his health plan, but did nothing to prevent coverage of abortion on demand for a mere $50.6

Romney has tried to distance himself from his Hillarycare-type plan,7 but you can watch the video where he takes full credit. There's nothing conservative about Mitt Romney's health care plan. It's a government subsidized health care plan that requires citizens to register with the state, slaps working people with tax penalties, and provides $50 abortions on demand.


Contrast this with Fred:

100% pro-life voting record.
Has said repeatedly that Roe v. Wade should be overturned.
Opposes embryonic stem cell research and human cloning.


Tuesday, The National Right to Life Committee endorsed Fred. NRLC is the nation's largest pro-life organization representing over 3,000 local chapters in all 50 states.

Help support the true conservative.

Romney declares war on Fox News

Mitt Romney has released a campaign video showing scenes from the Fox News Debate in Orlando. Fox has insisted that Cantidates cannot use these clips and last week argued with John McCain about his use of a clip from the same debate. Romney attorney Ben Ginsbert had this to say,

"Indeed, the Romney campaign's use of a very short debate clip to deliver a message about Governor Romney is the very essence of political speech protected by the First Amendment. In addition to the First Amendment, statutes and numerous court decisions protect a political campaign's use of this material in this fashion."
