1. Yes, Mitt. Keep lashing yourself to the birthers.

Embrace your inner John Birch.

2. He's really latching his campaign on this?

That's stunning! Astounding!

Who the frack is running his campaign that they even think this might be a winning strategy? These guys seem simultaneously out-of-touch, hopelessly lost, and seemingly resigned to defeat.

The only thing that I can say about it is that it seems like a 4th and ten Hail Mary play, something you do when you're desperate.

3. he's playing games and embracing birthers...

This slick mo fo is doubling down! He doesn't want distance from birthers he needs 51% for heaven's sake! i cannot even believe he actually said that out loud. Such an "I can't have illegals I'm running for POTUS" moment. If their voting and rigging tricks get this fool in the whitehouse we are seriously f***ed. We don't have the luxury of being above anything. However tacky so long as it's true, we use every weapon in the arsenal. It's time to SCREAM all the crazy Mormon bull$hit doctrine from the hills! all the religious black homophobes are organizing for this idiot. The same fools that handed George a second term cause their so filled with homophobia and hate. We have to show those "Christians" what they're voting for if they vote for Mitt who has said he will never distance himself from the white supremacist cult he was a part of until the age of 31. Time to start talking and answering those questions in depth. Gloves off. They make me sick.

5. Are you saying he left the Mormon church when he was 31?

He has said he is still a member, I can't believe he would try to leave.

6. No, he/she is saying

that blacks were not allowed to become decons of the church until Romney was 31(in 1979 or so).

8. Mormonism is still a white supremacist cult.

That was my reasoning, I was interested to see someone else on this board knew it also. Thank you for your explanation though, it makes sense.

4. News flash: Mittens, natural-born citizenship does NOT require birth in the US.

7. Mitt, where's YOUR birth certificate?

And while you're at it, how about those tax returns???
