Really? He wants to go THERE?

Post by Scooter »

He whines about the campaign getting nasty, and then pulls this shit?:
COMMERCE, MICH. - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney took a dig at President Barack Obama on Friday over his birth certificate in comments that re-ignited a controversy over the Democrat's eligibility to be president.

"No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate," Romney told a rally of some 7,000 people in his home state of Michigan.

"They know that this is the place that we were born and raised," he said to the laughter of the crowd, speaking alongside his wife, Ann.

Damn, reading the title, and seeing who posted it, I thought this was going to be about pussy!

You mean it's not?
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

That's silly. I'm not a Romney supporter but I'd expect a joke like that from him. Especially in his home state. He's not challenging Obama to prove his citizenship. He's making a joke.

Sometimes you've got to sit back and watch the show and not try to twist things into things they aren't.

He's not stupid. He's playing to a certain segment of the Republican base (with whom he needs to up his cred) who are unreconstructed birthers.

You're absolutely right.

That's why I don't believe he is "going there".

He's just speaking to those who are already there. He's not re-igniting anything.

I thought it was both funny and apropos. And if it angered any of the idiots on the Left, so much the better.
