Mitt Romney, Wishing he Were Hispanic
As if Mitt’s 47% remarks weren’t already totally revealing of his disdain for people less well-off than himself, another part of the same leaked tape includes this doozy, where he claims he wishes he’d been born a Latino.
What does Mitt mean–that had he been born Latino, he could somehow have taken advantage of affirmative action? There are some other lines that slay me , referring to his father, whose own father had chosen to leave the United States so he could continue practicing polygamous Mormonism,
“Had he been born of Mexican parents, I’d have a better shot at winning this. But he was unfortunately born to Americans living in Mexico. But he was unfortunately born to Americans living in Mexico.. . . .it would be helpful to be Latino.”
I scarcely know how to write about such idiotic words.

He is referring to the well-known advantage Mexicans have always had in U.S. presidential elections. He is aiming to make history as the first non-Mexican president.

Oh, right, there’s the well-known example when Ronald Reagan won two presidential terms–after his Mexican extraction had propelled him to the governor’s chair in Sacramento and thence the White House!

Ah, Mitt, not enough to be Mexican to be president. You have to have papers, else you’d be deported.

Thanks for visiting my site, Patrice. What a statement, huh?
