WASHINGTON - As Mitt Romney heads to Dallas for a four-city Texas visit, key Lone Star Democrats offered a stern warning Tuesday that his views on the budget and immigration aren't right for Texas.

"Mitt Romney may think he can Etch a Sketch his way back from the extreme positions he has taken to pander to the far right wing of his party," said U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson , a Dallas Democrat, alluding to a Romney aide's comment last week about offering more moderate views when the campaign shifts into general election mode. "No amount of shaking can make voters forget how out of touch Mitt Romney really is."
She spoke on a call arranged by the Democratic National Committee ahead of Romney's trip, which includes fund-raising stops in Dallas and Fort Worth on Wednesday, and San Antonio and Houston on Thursday. Republicans often offer similar preemptive strikes whenever President Barack Obama campaigns around the country.
The GOP front-runner has spent little time so far in Texas, where the primary is set for May 29. He will be out of public view for nearly all of this trip.
Rep. Charlie Gonzalez, D-San Antonio, chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and a national co-chairman of the Obama reelection campaign, offered a "big howdy" but noted that Romney's views on immigration have hardened significantly since previous campaigns, alienating Latino voters. He said he hopes Romney notices the state's diversity and learns that a broad range of civic and business leaders, unlike Romney himself, support comprehensive immigration reform.
He was especially critical of Romney for vowing to veto the Dream Act, which would allow citizenship to young immigrants brought to this country illegally, while lauding Arizona's controversial crackdown on illegal immigrants as a national model.


OoooHHHHH... the comments on The Morning News should make the Tea Party proud.

For the record,Texas leads the nation in uninsured adults AND children. THIS is how "pro-life" mindsets think?

I care for these people every day,and have seen the patients who have benefitted from this plan.If this is truly what Mitt Romney wants now,he has lost his soul.

3. and my reply

Actually, Mr. Ho, I have seen Texans who benefited from "Obamacare". You'd like to see children and adults with pre-existing conditions drop dead because they remain uninsured in Texas under OUR insane state insurance(or lack of).
How caring,humane and "Christlike" you are.
