Tonight, I watched the first half hour of The Factor (I'll watch the second half at 11:30P). Bill O'Reilly, Dick Morris, Dennis Miller and Bill Burton (Democrat) all commented on the Romney/Perry debate brouhaha about Romney and illegals. But NONE of them, NONE of the 4 of them, commented on Romney saying "I’m running for office, for Pete’s sake. I can’t have illegals." Yet that opportunism is what the Democrats honed in on, today. Why the omission? Look, they could have taken any side on that "running for office" bit from Romney. They could have mentioned it in terms of how the Democrats responded to the debate, but NO, it wasn't mentioned at all (or it was edited out, can't believe the Burton guy didn't mention it if the DNC already included it in a video). This is why it's just as hard to trust the Republican media as it is the Democrat media. Bias does not just rear its head overtly. It rears its head covertly in what is not said. How do I trust Fox News if they are just as bad as the liberal media in not reporting the whole story?
Since Mitt Romney isn't the one that hired illegals in the first place, it's sort of a mute point. This is all old news. Whoever advised Rick Perry to use this should be fired, because if they had done their homework they would have known it was proven without merit last time also.
All this did was open Rick Perry up to even more inspection of his relationships and such concerning illegals in Texas and what he has had to do with employing them. He really shouldn't have gone there with his record.
Illegals are all over the place here in Texas
They build all the homes here
The major home builders... dr horton, drees...etc... all hire 3rd party contractors (who hire illegals) to build homes. By doing it this way, they aren't liable as they didn't hire the illegal directly.
Rick Perry does nothing about it. In fact, he encourages illegal immigration by giving out incentives to illegals who come here. It is kind of funny that Perry was trying to justify that somehow by hiring a 3rd party contractor, Romney hired illegals directly... when in fact, Perry looks the other way all the time when illegal aliens are a concern. Just goes to show what a huge hypocrite Perry is...

Not to be snarky here, but for future reference, the word is 'moot' not 'mute'.
Really, not snarky...lol. I love when adults correct other adults on a message board.
You're very welcome. Your error was one of ignorance, not spelling. Even adults can learn new words (well, at least most can ) - consider it my gift to you...
Both have terrible records and if your asking the MEDIA to actually cover things as the Ron Paul people how that is going.
The media want Romeny if they don't get Romeny they will settle for Perry both of them will help the corporate and big government socialist and they are ok with OBama again and they are ok with Cain all of which supported the TARP bailouts!!

<sigh> The issue was not ILLEGALS. The issue was Romney taking a position on something just because he's running for office. It backs up his history of flip flopping on assorted issues because he comes not out of conviction but what will get him elected. That's why the Dems latched onto it.
My point was no one doing the Fox News analysis mentioned it when the Democrats were all over it. It's a biased media based on omission illustration and this instance was "my side" doing the same thing the lib networks do.
If Romney is the Republican candidate, the Dem issue will be to kill him on Romneycare if he dares bring up Obamacare and flip flopping over the years on a variety of issues. Fox News (especially Dick Morris whose main schtick is strategy) should be mentioning that.
