MEREDITH, N.H. (Dec. 4) - Republican Mitt Romney, ridiculed by rival Rudy Giuliani for employing illegal immigrants at his "sanctuary mansion," said Tuesday he had fired the landscaper for his suburban Boston home after learning for a second time about undocumented workers laboring on the property.

In a statement issued after he concluded his campaign appearances for the day, Romney said: "After this same issue arose last year, I gave the company a second chance with very specific conditions. They were instructed to make sure people working for the company were of legal status.

He is just NOW checking out the employment practices of the his LANDSCAPER?!?!? For all the stereotypes and snide jokes wouldn't that be the FIRST place you would check out if you were running for office?

2. Romney always arrives at the party the next day.
He was pro-choice, but lately became pro-life.
He was a gun control advocate, but now is an NRA member.

That vacuous look seems to carry more meaning than we'd like.

4. He's too cheap to pay a living wage to those who work for him

otherwise he wouldn't have hired a firm which employs undocumented workers.
