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!

You don't have to if you don't want, its simply a question, not a command. I'm not interested in your diversions though, they're pretty boring.

You already have your answer, then. A pleasure, as always.

No I do not. I wonder what you think and asked you a simple question that can be easily answered with a yes or no answer. Yet you have done everything but answer, including wasting a whole lot of time on attempts at diversion. It provides the perception that this question is very hard for you to answer for some reason or other, which is also strange for me because i think it should be fairly simple for you to answer.

Oh, the answer has been directed to you. If you spent less time complaining about me and more time reading, you could have figured it out by now.

[the-rukh.livejournal.com]

I haven't been complaining at all. I'm not looking for some big meaningful answer, just in your own words a simple yes or no. That doesn't seem hard.

[badlydrawnjeff.livejournal.com]

Riiiiiiiiiight. You got your answer, so I'm moving on. I'm sure you'll say otherwise regardless, though.

All I can say is the amount of effort you put in to not answering seems out of place and makes me wonder what giant chutes and ladders game is going on in your head.
