dofus: If his intent was to say 'find a solution that fixes the problem once and for all' and he said 'permanent solution' then he's guilty of being a poor speaker. To equate what he meant with the German's 'final solution' for the Jews is absurd.

I'm not even close to a Romney fan but Jeeze...

That was just subby having a larf, methinks.

Nobody is suggesting that Mittens seriously advocated anything like the infamous "Final Solution" of Nazi Germany simply that, as you yourself suggest, it was inartful speech, at best. Worthy of some slight mockery on the intrawebs and most especially here on the Fark Politics tab.

The real story, as other posters have previously suggested, is both A) Romney needs to win back some of the Hispanic vote to even have a chance. and B) His performance on Univision probably lost him more votes at the end of the day among both Hispanics who saw through his half-hearted pander attempts here and hardcore RWNJs who will see him even appearing before this group as Mitt selling out in a RINOesque fashion.

The "permanent solution" thing is just gravy.

He must be actively trying to lose the election. That's about the only explanation I can think of that doesn't turn my brain into an inside-out TARDIS.

Also, it could be the lighting or something else, but uh is Mitt looking a bit unusually tan?

propasaurus: But this has gone far enough now. Y'all have to stop pointing out every stupid thing he says.

This. Romney says stupid shiat all the time. Godwinning a comment that doesn't even amount to a poor choice of words isn't helping here libs.

This is Fox News low.

cman: cman: A man promising to fix a problem? HOW DARE HE!

/Hate Romney, I like open boarders, but come on now...you are getting close to clipgate derp

whoops, forgot a pronoun changing the meaning of what I wanted to say. Fixt

I, too, like open boarders, so long as they're above the age of consent, free of social diseases, and have less body weight, body fat and body hair than I do.

Open borders would be nice, too, since it would mean that kids would not be punished for being born on one side of a line in the sand drawn over a century ago by aristocrats and being raised on the other after being taken across said line by their parents before they were old enough to talk.
