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!

Given the tennor of your post, and I am in complete agreement with badlydrawnjeff on this subject, I will probably regret asking, but where do you get the idea that Gary Johnson is the "only real social liberal/fiscal conservative in the race?

"race" as in the November Ballot Race. We know Johnson is there and Obama is.

Who else ya got?

Ah, I see. The presumption is not a case of considering Ron Paul's characteristics; it is one of considering his potential of still being a contender in November. Never mind; carry on.

If Paul makes it, I'll vote for Paul. Just don't see the status quo allowing anyone but Senor Romney.

Of course the status quo is rarely in danger of being changed, especially in elections, where the vast majority of people exercise a delusion: they project their fantasies onto one candidate (and I'm not excluding the Ron Paul voters here, either) and then vote accordingly. One need look no further than seeing how many self-professed "conservatives" believe they can wish their desires onto Mitt Romney, if they only believe hard enough. The "liberals" thought the same thing about Obama.
