Mitt Romney - The Flip-Flopper Promises To Keep His Promises On Immigration

Mitt Romney, the man who's changed his mind on every important issue he's ever taken a stand on, the man whose campaign is desperately trying to shake the Etch-A-Sketch and get out of the promises he made to the Tea Party to snag the GOP nomination, told a gathering of Latino elected officials today to trust him on immigration, even as he implied he would restart deportations of young immigrants.  

"When I make a promise to you, I will keep it."

Good grief.  This guy has gone back on every promise he's ever made to voters.  Why should anyone believe he'll keep his promises on immigration -- even if you can tell what he was promising through all those weasel words?  Especially since it was just 6 months ago that Romney promised Tea Partiers he'd veto the DREAM Act:

... when a voter asked him if he’d veto the Dream Act as president, Mr. Romney said, “The answer is yes.”

The young folks at risk aren't buying Mitt's "sincere" act ... and it is an act.  CNN's Jim Acosta, in the crowd after Romney's speech:

... I met up with an undocumented college student, who was here in the crowd. She told me in an interview just a few moments ago - she went up to Mitt Romney and confronted him to try to get him to come down with a position on this issue of the DREAM Act - she walked away disappointed. She basically told me after this speech she is furious that she did not get direction from Mitt Romney about what would happen to her life should he become president...

Mitt's Etch-A-Sketch is getting smashed between a rock and a hard place. 

Mitt Romney is in a box on the DREAM Act and on immigration policy in general.  He's shaking that Etch-A-Sketch like a maniac but he can't get the screen to clear.  The Tea Party, who aren't sure they can trust his promises anyway, won't let him backtrack on his promise to them, but he he knows he has to promise the Latino community something or they'll stick with the change they already have in Obama.  

But the root of Mitt's problem is that everyone from his dog, Seamus, to pro-choice groups to the Tea Party to immigrants have learned that Mitt Romney will promise you anything ... then go down the road and promise something different to the next guy ... and then break all his promises once elected.
