New Mitt Romney “illegal immigration” ad:

Announcer: “Illegal immigration. We need smart, tough solutions, not just talk. What will it take to fix it? Technology, new ideas, guts, values, Mitt Romney. He said no to driver’s licenses for illegals, no to in’state tuition, fought for English in the classroom. The only candidate with a proven record of fixing the big problems. From day one, Mitt Romney will do what he does best - take charge, demand results, no excuses.”

Romney: “I’m Mitt Romney and I approve this message.”

Values?

I love how republicans throw that word around. Like they retain sole-ownership of it or something. The values-party, my ass!

A partial list of republican values:

• August 2, 2007: Bush administration senior adviser Karl Rove disregards a Congressional subpoena and refuses to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee
• August 6, 2007: Investigation called for after House Republican Leader John Boehner leaked classified information regarding a secret court ruling over warrantless wiretapping
• August 8, 2007: Republican Senator Larry Craig pleads guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct following his June 11 arrest
• August 9, 2007: Major Republican donor Alan Fabian is charged with 23 counts of bankruptcy fraud, mail fraud, money laundering, obstruction of justice, and perjury
• August 15, 2007: Republican state House candidate Angelo Cappelli is arrested for perjury and grand theft
• August 22, 2007: Republican political consultant Roger Stone resigns his role with the New York state Senate Republicans after reports surfaced that he made a “threatening, obscenity-laced” phone call to the 83-year-old father of Governor Eliot Spitzer
• August 27, 2007: Story breaks that Republican Senator Larry Craig was arrested and pled guilty - he had not publicly disclosed the events to that point

Again, this was only a partial list. There’s plenty more HERE.

If this is what you consider “values”, then you can keep your damn values!
