George Romney - WTF??

[murraysovereign]

Someone asked this the other day, and I have no answer, so throwing it out to all you American types: George Romney ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 1968, eventually losing out to Richard Nixon. So far, so good, right?

 

But... as Mittens keeps reminding Latino voters, George Romney was born in Mexico.

 

So... why would someone who is constitutionally inelligible for the presidency try to win his party's nomination?

Are you high?

Are you high?

 

No, should I be? I can go see some people and be back in a few minutes, if you think it would help.

Wetslide, you fool. That's actually a good question and I had to look it up. George Romney was a "Natural Born Citizen," born outside the U.S., but a child of citizens. Apparently that counts.

[murraysovereign]

I wondered if that was the case. It was either that, or they just don't bother asking white guys to show their birth certificates.

the birthers are racist, what else is new?

McCain was also born outside the US, but to american citizens.
