Multiple Mitt has certainly made his fair share of blunders so far in this campaign, such as \u201cCorporations are people too\u201d and \u201cI like to fire people\u201d, but yesterday he made a campaign stop to accept the endorsement of a white supremacist. I hope minority voters are taking note of how he spent MLK day!<\/font><\/p>\n

\"17romney-and-kobach\"On a day set aside to honor civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr., Mitt Romney plans to tout his extreme immigration positions during a campaign stop<\/a> in South Carolina today \u2014 with Kris Kobach, the author of Arizona\u2019s and Alabama\u2019s immigration laws<\/strong>, at his side. He will attack his competitors Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry for their softer immigration stances, which could resonate with South Carolina voters who support that state\u2019s harmful immigration law.<\/p>\n

\u201cMitt Romney stands apart from the others. He\u2019s the only one who\u2019s taken a strong across-the-board position on immigration,\u201d Kobach said, and he told Fox News\u2019 Neil Cavuto that Romney was much farther to the right on illegal immigration than his fellow presidential candidates.
