Romney supported the Bush-McCain immigration proposal in 2005, and even supported a "path to citizenship" as recently as 2006

Huck?  Open Borders, pro-Amnesty position

Palin?  She supports a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants

Mccain called Americans against Amnesty RACISTS.  And yall voted for him? LOL!

John Thune 2012

Who said any of these people are GOP hopefuls?

Straw poll voters for one.  Their PAC committees.  And it's part of the overall political "blogosphere" or discussion.  You're playing coy on this one, right?

Not at all.  You honestly think McCain is running for president in 2012?  Can't see that happening.  Palin has given no indication she is running.  Neither has Huck.  Or Thune. 

PACs don't make a person a candidate for president.  They raise money for other candidates.   

The two people I would say are likely to run are Huck and Romney.  Pure speculation regarding anyone else (and even speculation about Huck and Romney).

They all talk tough until they get into office and realize the economic implications of not having granting amnesty and they back track or take the Bush stance, do a whole lot of nothing and pretend to do something.

[Dos Equis]

Sort of like Obama talking tough about terrorists and detainees and as a candidate, then getting into office and doing almost exactly what Bush did.

John Thune 2012

When you say "and y'all voted for him" are you comparing him to Barack Hussein Obama?The guy that will try to get even the AZ law overturned?

Good luck finding someone who can win without carrying California, Arizona, New Mexico, Florida, Texas, Pa and new Jersey. They would also have to beat Obama.

Van Der Sloot 2012 - VOTE FOR GRIDLOCK & STALEMATE!   

[MM2K]

Probably Jeb Bush if you consider him a 2012 GOP hopeful.

Someone from Florida, with a Hispanic wife, isn't going to vote for immigration reform.

Bernie Madoff 2012!

Thus far, unless some rock star emerges... we're going to have Romney and a bunch of half-cocked dimwits in 2012.

Thune will be an 'unkonwn' and FOX will call him "not viable" - But Romney and palin, who both LOST in 2008, and are RINOS to boot, will be called viable by FOX.

And you same people who agreed in 2008 and passed on Ron paul and Tancredo, to vote Romney or Rudy, will end up with a LibLite candidate once again in the general.

And sadly, Obama will probably win if yall do this.
