I'm sure those dumb Latino voters will be totally fooled.

Gingrich is a huge condescending douche. But Romney has his own way of condescending, too.

He was born the son of poor black sharecropper...

Oh, I don't think Oily Taint will be the least bit concerned about the wealthy Republican white guy.

She might have a problem with his Mormonism, but probably not enough to make a fuss.

Hmmm....

Mitt Romney likes to eat food that is wrapped in foil.

first thing that ran through my mind too, and not to go all "birther" on him but do we know which wife Romney's grandad begat Romney's dad with? It could be significant because US law only recognizes (obviously enough) the first marriage as being legally valid; and the law at the time sad that while a child whose mother is an American citizen is automatically a citizen even when born abroad, but the child of an unmarried US citizen father, was not (had to do with not wanting to make citizens of all the GI's "war-babies")

Mitt Romney will drive your grandmother to her diabetes appointment

In a story all too familiar with immigrants of every nation, my ancestors were forced to flee for their lives across the border to safety, carrying a child wife under each arm and leaving the rest behind.

I can't understand him when he speaks mexican, doesn't he realize this is america?

I'm pretty sure Willard Mitt Romney was born in Michigan, where his father ran AMC into the ground.

Oh, and I read this on the NNDB:

Romney's wife, Ann, has multiple sclerosis, which she treats with holistic measures including reflexology, accupressure, accupuncture, deep-breathing exercises, and yoga. She says she is "a true believer in alternative medicine". This does not stop Mitt Romney from opposing embryonic stem cell research.

I think she's Jewish, so she probably doesn't care which flavor of non-Judaism he is.

Medicine.

Yeah. That's all I see in this thread is people saying that he's not eligible to be POTUS because of his father's heritage and asking about a birf cirtifcat.

Unless he plans to baptize her after she dies. He may even have a long form baptism certificate ready to go with her name and info that needs only to be dated

WHERE
STOCK CERTIFICT
WHE

Romney should just go ahead and tap Rubio to be his VP right now.
 
2012-01-31 11:05:21 AM
Romney, all this hubbub over the allegations of your foreign birth would end if you would only release your birth certificate.

Long form only. CoLB does not count. Because potato.

xtragrind: So liberals are going all birther now? So birther equals derp except when you guys do it?

I'm old enough to remember when George Romney was the GOP frontrunner in 1968, and nary a word was ever spoken about his eligibility then.

McCain's eligibility was also somewhat questionable.

Are you getting the point yet?

xtragrind: So liberals are going all birther now? So birther equals derp except when you guys do it?

Its not birtherism as no one is claiming hes not eligible to run. Thats kinda required ya know?

We are mocking Romneys ridiculous behavior. We expect all politicians to drive on the Pandering Highway till the election. However, Romney saying this means he took the exit off of Pandering Highway straight for utter bullshiatistan. Romney, the wealthiest presidential candidate ever run by the GOP is trying to identify with the poor or lower class mexican immigrants? Seriously?

/I have never wanted for anything in my life ever, but my dad was born in your country and lived there for a few years. That means I totally get you and your troubles! I am practically one of you even!
 
2012-01-31 11:08:58 AM
""You know, I wish I could claim that I'm Hispanic and that would help me in the Latino community here in Florida."

That's so Romney.

Not all Mexicans are brown. Not all of them come here illegally to steal identities and work here illegally. Some of them come here in the middle of the night to avoid being murdered the next day.

Reminds me of a funny story I read in the news about a guy who wanted to nail himself on a cross on Good Friday. He got one hand properly nailed to the beam but he was having trouble getting his other hand nailed. So he called an ambulance . . . not because he was bleeding profusely, but because he needed help getting his other hand nailed.

Duke Phillips' Singing Bears: Romney needs to cut this "I understand what your lives are like" shiat out.

Exactly. Its a dead end and imossible sell when your tax returns indicate you made as much as he did last year. Not to mention that whenever he goes off script he blows this whole narrative to pieces. (10k bet, 350k not that much money)

karmaceutical: Romney should just go ahead and tap Rubio to be his VP right now.

Rubio's support from Latinos is exaggerated. Florida Latinos aren't too thrilled that he supports immigration initiatives that in some ways are harsher than Arizona's. And his continually morphing story about his heritage has created a trust issue.

Ha.

Having MS, I'd love to be farking rich enough that my stress levels would be so low and my ability to modify my lifestyle so high that I could forego medicine.

As it is, I'll have to make due with killing myself slowly working hard to make sure the wife and kids can survive without me if I kick off too early, while Willard and his ilk wallow around in their opulence making decisions based on a false morality rather than reality and ethics.

Seriously. He's never had to scrimp for rent. He doesn't have massive student loan debt. He's never chosen between gas and a night out. He's not one of us. Never will be. He has absolutely no idea what life is like for the average American. We share no interests and have vastly different ideas about what life is like.

It's fine that he's rich, that's great. I cordially invite him to sit on his giant pile of money and be just as happy as he wants to be. Hell, he doesn't even need to be ashamed of it. But it doesn't mean he can run the country. The ONLY thing he's good at it is making money. That doesn't mean he's qualified to run the country, no matter how much people want to believe that the only reason America exists is to enrich people.

It's not going to matter anyway. There is going to be enormous pressure for Mitt to pick a major Tea Party derper.

Mittero Romenro will become enraged when you suggest his wife wear a bra, and will chase you around your office with a yard sign.
