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!
