14. Mitt Romney is deeply, deeply racist.

Look at Romney's history. "Let Detroit go bankrupt" - because many of the workers in the auto industry were black. His birth certificate comment - reminding racists that he is white and Obama is black.

The Republican Party uses racism as a wedge issue to get out the white vote, but in the case of Romney, they've found a candidate who is genuinely, deeply racist. His personal beliefs are racist.
