Mitt Romney
Romney has been silent on the FISA bill. He is all for wiretapping without probable cause.
Governor Mitt Romney raised the prospect of wiretapping mosques and conducting surveillance of foreign students in Massachusetts, as he issued a broad call yesterday for the federal government to devote far more money and attention to domestic intelligence gathering.
In remarks that caused alarm among civil libertarians and advocates for immigrants rights, Romney said in a speech to the Heritage Foundation that the United States needs to radically rethink how it guards itself against terrorism.
''How many individuals are coming to our state and going to those institutions who have come from terrorist-sponsored states?" he said, referring to foreign students who attend universities in Massachusetts. ''Do we know where they are? Are we tracking them?"
Let's waste federal and state resources wiretapping what people might be doing. How is Clinton, Edwards and Obama Big Brother and he is a champion of civil liberties? Romney really needs to explain it to voters. As of now, it doesn't pass the laugh test.
“If Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama or John Edwards were elected president, they would take a sharp left turn because as they see the problems, they say, well, we’re going to change, we need a bigger government, Big Brother watching us, bigger taxes. I’m convinced that’s not where the American public is going to."
ReplyDeleteI guess the truth is hard for a hardcore liberal to understand. Hillary, Obama, and Edwards want to tax people who work for a living and are successful whats fair about that? P.S the wiretapping is legal and the Democratic Congress in charge just expanded their powers. The truth will set you free.
