Romney Caught Flip Floping on English. Hunter Smacks Down!

[espdemon]

Mit the nitwit Romney..the Supreme Panderer, the man-with-no-principles, an utter phony who will say anything and flip-flop at any time -- and someone who was not a Reaganite until he ran for president in 2007. Nice try Mit.

[austingray1]

Tancredo, "Bilingual countries don't work". What? Look at Spain, Belgium, Canada, and many other developed Western nations. They seem to work just fine. "Preservation of the English language"? I didn't know that English was on the verge of extinction. What about what the English world has done to other languages, Gaelic in Ireland and Scotland, the indigenous languages of North America and Australia. English isn't in danger. I'm a native English speaker.

[Pawnbroker00]

Liberals are communist dicks.

[kevinwinstonshen]

Romney is anything is a patriot. He is your typical opportunist politician who flip-flops on issues depending on who he is trying to win votes from. He is a slick big government liberal who is deceptive running as a Conservative.

[pillsbury09]

Romney is a Patriot.

[eggyfranchise]

Tom Tancredo is a fucking moron!!! He's obviously never heard of Canada, Switzerland, or Belgium. and he says bilingual countries don't work??? That was just stupid

[pillsbury09]

Tancredo & Romney both rock.

[convinced1972]

Yea the French and English Canadians just get along so peacefully.

[backinblackk1980]

they're all full of hot air

[wakeupfist]

Come one, Romney, admit it: THEY GOT YOU BY THE BALLS THERE! You hit the wall, so you had to change the subject to border security. You reek of phoniness, Romney. Please die.

[bgabbs69]

Lol! What have you been watching on youtube?

[miatoday]

Fuck you you slime ball Romney, this is America stop fucking pandering to the wetbacks and motherfucking asswholes who don't want to become Americans. Thanks Tancredo you know what the deal is!

[mydodgers1]

Did you know Tancredo endorsed Mitt Romney due to his srong stance on illegal immigration?

[californiacrazybeck]

Tancredo had until recently videos on his UTube site showing Romney dancing around questions about what he would do about illegal immigration. And now all of the sudden he's going to get tough? R. is a businessman so why wouldn't he want cheap labor? GWB fooled me, it won't happen again.

[chocolatekiss814]

Hey californiacrazybeck, please check your facts before spreading them over the internet. I am LDS and I've never met another real Mormon that claimed Jesus Christ to only be a prophet. It is very clear in our beliefs that he is in fact our Savior. So while Romney does indeed have his faults, lying on that matter is not one of them. Thanks.

[traintrackers]

That's the man for the Job! Duncan Hunter!

Do not let the media choose your President.

Help make Duncan Hunter a leading Candidate!

[jaystoner99]

i will never vote for a MORMON

[californiacrazybeck]

Mitt Romney is either not a Mormon or lying about what he said about Jesus Christ being his personal savior...

Mormons will only say that Jesus is a "prophet", not the same and what the Jewish used to say. So...

Is Romney just using the Mormon voting block?

[supernovia1st]

Dude, YOU are lying or just clueless. Mitt doesn't need a mormon block vote. He just needs people to not vote like block heads. If you're going to vote against his religion the least you could do is find out what he actually believes.

[californiacrazybeck]

Romney would just legalize them all, that's how he'd get around this in the future.

[organmaster1969]

Romney's a fake...he switches positions practically every year. He can't be trusted to lead this country.

[supernovia1st]

Wrong. His plan is to close the border, shut down magnets that draw illegal people here, and crack down on businesses that hire illegals.

7nLu7oy2nUI

[pacoworld]

That sounds good , but come on!!! you and I know that it's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

[supernovia1st]

Mitt Romney has a knack at making things happen, more than any other candidate.

[monkeyshines4T]

Also...Mitt's company Bain Capital owns Clear Channel Communications, that's why Rush, Hannity and everyone else at Fox bashes Mike. Mitt is their BOSS!

[truthserum328]

We speak ENGLISH in this country, not Japanese, not Spanish, not dutch, not German, but ENGLISH. Do you see English labels in Mexico or France? I highly doubt as much as it occurs in the U.S. At McDonalds, most can barely order a cheeseburger without having to say it five times! Speak English, Pay Taxes,and be a U.S. Citizen should always be a requirement for incoming immigrants.

[omarnic77]

It seems like you have never been outside the USA. English is everywhere, all over the world for your convenience and enjoyment. Do you truly believe English is in danger in the USA?. This is part of your poor culture and mindset. By the way, Spanish was the first European language officially spoken on this continent as well as on your land. Learn a foreign language, whichever you choose, and your mind will expand because you desperately need it.

[Max8Jizzy]

MAN...Mitt's a fake!

California's Duncan Hunter is the REAL deal!

[demery39]

duncan hunter folks !! step up and help !

[MKB2814]

Romney in a direct interview to the Boston Globe in 2005:

he noted that illegal immigrants "contribute in many cases to our economy and to our society."

[Baschi34]

WHAT ABOUT:

SWITZERLAND OR INDIA?

[rite4lyf]

mexicans will do to our country what they have done to their country and when they are finished, we aren't going to want it to be our country anymore.

[whiteyonwelfare]

Any American born person who learns spanish for personal gain or political gain is a fucking sell out.

[Ultimatemxcn]

And that is why the world believes Americans are ignorant.

[badgerdog6]

Atzlan does not and will not exist, go back to Tijuana

[MKB2814]

romney es puta politica

[FromtheDarkstream]

Cult kook.

[drewbluedrew]

People are fucking stupid. He advertised in Spanish to get more support. Spanish is the second most spoken language in America. And why is he a flip flopper for changing his view after 11 years?

[pyoon]

because he does w/e for votes and and doesnt have his own view

[microspect]

flip flop.

[MystikWizard]

You can tell by Romney's look that he wants to beat the shit out of the guy who asked the question.

[pucks214]

Romney didn't answer the question at all...

[telkines]

I agree English is very important to be official language of the U.S. but spanish is also a very important world language

[telkines]

spanish is not an "ghetto" language. Spanish is spoken in medieval Europe since XI century, and in America since XV Century. Florida, CAlifornia, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Louisiana were spanish countries before the birth of the U.S. Nation.

[1briza]

If he wasnt smart he wouldn't advertise in spanish. Hispanics are the fastest growing minority. The Democratic party already had a debate in spanish in Univision. They need to stop being so narrow minded and keep up with this country.

[jcjcd]

Who voted for this man in Mass? And WHY?

[khanriza]

Romney: "I'll do and say anything for votes."

[Kai0987]

ya riight he doesnt love immigrants

[gematria79]

CFR CEO David Rockefeller: "..we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the USA, characterizing us as 'internationalists' and of conspiring around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure, one world. If that's the charge, I stand guilty,and I am proud of it." MEMOIRS, p 405

CFR Members: B Obama, Romney, H Clinton, Giuliani, McCain, J Edwards, D Rockefeller, Cheney, Richardson, B Clinton, Dodd, Biden, F Thompson

[TKOtonite]

Rock Hudson Romney at it again! Just like old Rock, Romney is one thing on the screen but another thing behind the scene.

[TKOtonite]

The day of the political flip floppers such as Romney and others, is OVER!

The practice of saying one thing, one day, to one group and just the opposite to another group, another time, is PAST!

The era in which the media was complicit with this behavior, pro or con, has been ENDED!

Just as DNA technology caught up with the CRIMINAL!

Technology such as YouTube caught up with these CHARACTERS!

[shipple]

Romney has flip flopped so far on abortion, gay marriage, gun control, whether or not he supports the NRA and now this. What a slimeball

[aloag]

Oh yeah this psycho kid. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful and Hispanic. Mitt is a family man who loves Hispanics, legal ones that can vote at least.

[smileyman223336]

Romney doesn't have a mind to change.

[jjgreek1]

If you don't like what Romney says- wait a few days; he will change his mind.

[tissuesrgood]

Romney's a stud... especially when compared with Tancredo, and etc.

[chubaru]

Haha, Romney: 'i'll speak your language if you for me.'

[jeffjonessr]

I'm a GOP Delegate with a video for the up coming debate

[Isaac707]

Mitt Romney is a Racist, everyone came to this country illegally to begin with. what an idiot. Anyone who reads a fucking social studies book knows this. WHAT THE FUCK!

[jjones1987]

For the view of an average, everyday person. See my video, Mitt Romney for President 2008!!! Just click on my user name.

[aprillh]

Gov. Romney is my former governor in Mass. I voted for him when he ran for governor against tax and spend liberal Shannon O'Brien. He does very well under pressure, is very composed, and I believe very sincere. Think whatever you want, the man must be judged by his accomplishments, which are many! He turned around the most tax and spend liberal state, taking Mass. out of debt! He'll do even more in DC! Please vote Romney for the GOP primary. He is the best candidate.

[jjones1987]

Whatever, you can think what you want. But when you look at Romney's accomplishments as a person, a businessman, a father, a husband, a local church leader, his turning around the 2002 Olympics, and saving the state of Massachusetts from $3 billion of debt. You see the man , you see his character, and you see his accomplishments.

[tjcutube]

And since the English fought us again and burned DC in 1812, we should have gone way beyond respelling words and just started a language from scratch...: it's not patriotic to speak the language of a foreign country, and to do so incorrectly...So what were those long-term, almost imperceptible shifts that were going on for decades and centuries and led to Rome's fall? Oh yeah, it was that they couldn't get people to stop speaking Greek on the side. Losers.

[tjcutube]

Ha. Yeah world, we're the only place that's too fucking stupid to handle communication! Don't make me learn, noo! Well the Founding Fathers must be full of shit because they printed government papers up in German and English! Why? Because that's what was needed to communicate! Fools. And when they were in France, Franklin and Jefferson spoke French! Traitors! You're either with us or you're with the enemy...

[bjalder26]

What a stupid non-issue, he's for English as the official language, he's for English immersion, but he's certainly not against being bi-lingual. He is bi-lingual, at least one of his sons are bi-lingual. Don't try and confuse one issue with another, nobody is talking about outlawing the speaking of other languages within our borders.

[overmind25]

Ron Paul is the only decent one. He is not pro war like the rest but wants to secure the border and restore the republic.

[mpetrie]

This is flip flopping? That's wrong. There wasn't any flip flopping here. He simply said he loves legal immigration and I so absolutely no problem advertising in spanish even though he supports English becoming the official language. It takes a long time for people to learn english and Romney's reaching out to those voters who don't currently speak english so he can obtain their support as well.

[Scott3843]

Romney is a wolf in highly-coiffed sheep's clothing. I'm a citizen of Massachusetts and he was a terrible governor. He started his presidential campaign the moment he was elected governor. He had no interest in running the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We were just a stepping stone for his presidential aspirations. Beware of the pretty boy nightmare!

[amnesty7890]

and I bet your a fundamental born again christian. Second, have you read the stats on his success. third your an idiot. fourth your and idiot.

[NoSheepPeople]

my efforts to obfuscate? you refuse to hold on to your premises. your dodging. I'm done.

[MsWiener]

yes canada doesnt work as a country because they speak french. GOOD REASONING!

[IndependentConserv]

NoSheepPeople - I'm enjoying your efforts to obfuscate, but the fact is that areas trying to deal with multiple languages in America are having a hard time, even after Pres. Clinton's efforts, which made things worse. It's not working and most of America will vote in that fashion.

[NoSheepPeople]

I can't believe Tancredo said "bilingual countries don't work!" He appears to be a moron.

[IndependentConserv]

Given the greater success of nations with one language, I'd say one language works better.

[NoSheepPeople]

can you provide some examples? or more clarity?

are we talking about nations with only one official language, or nations that actual only have one language?

and I can't tell you if you're supporting his statement of not. to say one language nations "work better" isn't to say polyglot or bilingual nations "don't work".

[IndependentConserv]

Everyone's view of "don't work" is subject to the interpretation of the individual. The nations doing the best by most measures don't have multiple "official" languages. And while not codified America is an English speaking nation.  Parts of America where a language other than English is dominate are "not working". Behind by most measures.

[NoSheepPeople]

Singapore has a great educational system and is among the most economically prosperous nations in the world; it has 3 recognized languages: Tamil, Chinese and Malay. Switzerland has 2, Belgium 3.

The urban centers in the U.S. are prosperous (NY and LA) from international trade; languages abound. You could refer to low literacy rate in LA county, however, have you looked at Arkansas (yikes!).

[NoSheepPeople]

Besides, any correlation between language singularity and prosperity does not indicate a causal link. Tancredo's not convincing, more than he is chauvinistic.

[IndependentConserv]

Small nations do not a good example make. That's like saying Communism works because it can be used effectively in small groups. NY and LA excel not because of the influx of Spanish, but efforts that were there long before. Media empires were in both beforehand.

[freshwilly]

a spanish speaking virgin? lol awesome

[Ovalshine]

How come no one's talking about Romney's spanish speaking virgin?

[IndependentConserv]

Ovalshine, maybe you need to tell us something we don't know.

[Ovalshine]

Pay attention to around :40. I could swear she says "spanish speaking virgin".

[IndependentConserv]

Ovalshine-That's "Spanish speaking version of your web site, with your son also speaking Spanish". On Romney's web site, the hypocrite has a special section just for people who don't care to learn English. It has video of his son that starts once you enter the page.

[Ovalshine]

I know what she meant, but she said virgin rather than version. It's just something I found amusing. Aside from that, yeah, Romney's a hypocrite, but that's par for the course in politics.

[IndependentConserv]

Ovalshine - This makes me wonder about who Romney has working at his homes and if he checked their paperwork.

[HaoSci]

Why did you cut it off when he was not done speaking?

[comnsense1001]

There's already a great must-see YOUTUBE video on

McCain vs McCain

Can a similar one on the pandering Romey be far behind?

[5M1L3]

Mitt Romney is right on as usual. If he uses it right the spanish language portion of his site can be a wonderfull asset to helping intigrate spanish speaking immigrants into the American way of life, language and all. Sometimes you need to reach out to people where they are and invite them to join you where you are. Mitt Romney does that.

[samoanloto]

and i think ill throw up if romney has to answer another ridiculous mormon question. who cares? people should focus on what hes done and his record and what his plans are for this country, not asking dumb mormon questions. romney answered the mormon question well for the 100th time, as well as kicking the media in the ass with what he said about the pundits.imagine if he were catholic or hindu or arabic or jew, he wouldnt be getting as much scrutiny as he does now being a mormon.

[samoanloto]

this question was stupid. i dont see any wrong with having ads in spanish. my neighbor is a legal hispanic immigrant citizen whos command of the english language aint all that great yet. Im sure having ads in spanish will help her to choose who she wants to vote for. Come to miami and youll see lots of people like her, legal immigrant citizens who cant speak all that great yet. By the way some of those candidates could be looked at as racists. Romney is the only chance republicans have.

[moveoverdotorg]

tancredo is obviously playing politics. romney is pragmatic. the reality is that there are those that dont speak english in this country. acknowledge the reaity of the situation and then do what you can to make things better. romney fought for english immersion in MA schools. dont stick your head in the sand, deal with reality. if anything this speaks to romneys intelligence

[iagrv8]

I don't trust this guy.Go Tancredo!

[maxxbeefyboy]

YOUTUBE deleted my note here, becauce in it I call Tancredo a BIGOTE. He is loaded with BIGOTRY. He is Latin himself. If he claims he is Italian by origin he is Latin (or Sicilian). He looks Cuban and he could be a Cuban. This man is loaded with BIGOTRY. He is LATIN too.

[IndependentConserv]

maxxbeefyboy - I have deleted 3 of your repeated posts of the exact same thing and left one so you could make whatever point you wish to make. I have blocked you from making further comments because of your repeated posts. If YouTube deletes your latest comment, they run this site. Tancredo looks Italian to me.

[moveoverdotorg]

As for Hunter -- Hunter is posturing here as well. Romney has stated before that he doesn't think the plan that he helped to implement in MA should be forced on everybody, but rather that the federal govt should support the states in their efforts to solve the problem. 50 experiments. The other states can use his plan as a template or not. If you ask me, there is nothing socialized about it. Hunter should throw his support behind Romney.

[proofset666]

Where is the flip-flopping? Being for English as a national language doesn't mean you have to ignore reality as is.

[IndependentConserv]

Pandering in Spanish proves that he's not serious about encouraging people to learn English. It's part of his growing list of statements that have little or no actual proof in action.

Like his NRA membership. He just forgot to buy a gun.

[mpetrie]

No, it's trying to connect with eligible voters who speak mostly spanish. While he believes they must learn english, what's the point in abandoning those eligible voters? This isn't a flip-flop... there are tons of people who'll hear the message and go vote for him because they understood it clearly.

[islandbeats80]

so because hes against illegal immigration, hes not suppose to have ads in spanish?

[afrisimo]

Last night Tancredo said that bilingual countries do not work. If that is his belief and position, how is he going to deal with countries such as Canada, Belgium and Switzerland?

[IndependentConserv]

You speak like one who is not at all aware of the issues Canada has faced with trying to accommodate multiple languages. Which is why some areas abandoned it. Research why Tancredo said it and you might learn something.

[IndependentConserv]

And you know why Mexico does not have expenses like the USA deals with regarding translations? Because they have an official language, Spanish. The USA could make it English and save taxpayers plenty of money. Mostly English speaking tax payers.

[jmegill]

awesome question!

[autum1515]

you cannot listen to what most politicans running for president say. instead look at their voting record! gulianni lost my vote because new york is a sanctuary state yet gulianni plans on enforcing immigration laws??!!! hmmmm. ita a contradiction.

[comnsense1001]

Romney reminds me of Bush - who said one thing before he got elected (no policing the world, no nation- building) and then did the opposite after being elected.

Tancredo & Hunter are a lot more credible.
