Romney releases copy of birth certificate

and just in time for his getting his lips surgically attached to Trump's rear tonight.
Yessir, no pandering to racist birthers to see here...

Yes, Republican Mitt Romney appears eligible to be president, according to a copy of Romney's birth certificate released to Reuters by his campaign. Willard Mitt Romney, the certificate says, was born in Detroit on March 12, 1947.

His mother, Lenore, was born in Utah and his father, former Michigan governor and one-time Republican presidential candidate George Romney, was born in Mexico.

So on a day when real estate and media mogul Donald Trump was trying to help Mitt Romney by stirring up a new round of questions about whether Democratic President Barack Obama was born in the United States, Romney's own birth record became a reminder that in the 1968 presidential campaign, his father had faced his own "birther" controversy.

Back then, George Romney - who died in 1995 - was a moderate who was challenging eventual President Richard Nixon in the Republican primaries.

I say we do what the GOP does, and just baselessly declare the thing photoshopped.

according to Trump that's not the same as a "birth certificate",,,, at least that's what he said about President Obama's.

It's an obvious fake.

No doctor's name.

No hospital.

No seal.

And it has "VOID" printed right on it.

Jumping on the racist birther bandwagon with not get you into the White House. Its one thing to take money from the idiot, but to be seen out and about with and your the rethug presidential nominee, no class at all for someone who wants to lead the free world. I hope moderate republicans and indys are paying attention.
