The Game Changer?

[rick-day.livejournal.com]

Well, it looks like Mitt Romney has been playing the "Selective Family Album" game and kinda/sorta/oppsies forgot to tell everyone he is 1/4 Mexican.

And just did why did Mitt's father flee Mexico for the safety of the US?

In his public life Mitt Romney has said and written little about his ancestors' history in Mexico.  In one oft-repeated quote he said his family left the U.S. for Mexico to escape persecution for their religious beliefs.

In fact, Romney's great grandfather, Miles Park Romney, led that first expedition to escape not persecution but prosecution for polygamy, or what Mormons called ‘plural marriage.’

Well, this is rather awkward, from a race standpoint. So we have the Southern US. There is a strong showing of rather simple minded voters who are Crusading Voters for Christ and All Other Things White™.

Who they going to vote for. Mitt the Mex? Barrak the Magic Negro?

Or maybe that white guy Gary Johnson, the only real social liberal/fiscal conservative in the race.

God DAMN I love Southern Idiocracy.

Question: Game changer? If Mitt embraces his SOTB roots, will this swing brown skins to his camp? WILL ANYONE DEMAND TO SEE HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE?

ETA: This just in! Cain demands to know more about this polygamy thing!

I've consistently argued that family members shouldn't be the focus of elections if they aren't the ones running. I've even said that about Obama's kids in this comm and you know that!

My first entry about Obama on LJ (http://mividaloca99.livejournal.com/4365.html) - not one mention of Obama's daddy.

Anything else?

I've got something! By your own logic in your recent abortion post by not speaking out against something harmful, groups or people are passively endorsing it. So I guess chessdev is right, you did endorse those statements made against Obama. Unless you are a hypocrite and your belief only applies to a certain issue.

Beat me to it!

WRONG! The groups are endorsing it because they're more concerned about the censorship issue and want the information allegedly being censored to spread. Never said anything about groups not speaking out all together. Got it? Good!

Uh -- the comment was about *your* statements, as well as just general implicit consent...not about other groups.

Do you think anyone here buys your backpedaling and attempts at revision? We don't, no matter how loudly you shout or get antagonistic and rude.

Frankly, I'm getting sick and tired of being told what I'm saying when I know exactly what I said and I meant it. If you don't like what I have to say, that's your business but I don't appreciate people making false assumptions or putting words in my mouth. I can speak for myself just fine and I think I've proved that. Thanks!
