Romney, Immigration and Fred

The AP is reporting that Romney is bashing Rudy and Huck on Immigration for tacitly or overtly supporting sanctuary cities (which is interesting since there were sanctuary cities in Massachusetts when he was governor). He only criticized Thompson indirectly and basically was saying that he did not have executive experience rather than critique him on immigration.

Here is what I find interesting: Mitt cannot critique Fred on being wrong on immigration. Huck tries (but does so incredibly) to critique Fred on bring wrong on the core "social conservative" issues of abortion and gay marriage. But then Fred gets the NRLC endorsement, because they know where he really stands on these issues. Meanwhile no one is surprised that Rudy did not get this endorsement. It is even easy to understand why Mitt and John didn't get the endorsement. No one criticizes him on his size of government issues or fiscal positions--though they do Huck, Rudy and to a degree Mitt.

The long and short is that while each of the top candidates are conservative in one area or another, Fred is the only candidate that is conservative in ALL of the areas.
