Romney latches on to more conspiracy theorist birthers via Donald Trump

Tuesday, May 29th, 2012

Donald Trump tried to capitalize on Obama's birth certificate issue and it backfired. The President of the United States is required to go through massive screening, proving and vetting in order to become the US President, yet, candidates want to capitalize on fears and lies. Obama has shown the long form of his birth certificate many times, and unfortunately, Mitt Romney's surrogates are simply having difficulty having a minority President and it seems they would go through any lengths to get rid of a minority President.

What is Mitt Romney’s strategy in the southwest during general election season?

To capitalize on conspiracy theorists into believing Obama does not deserve to be President.  Extremists, nativists and birthers want everyone else to put on their tin foil hats on despite the fact that it has been proven over and over again that Obama was born in the United States.

Why is Romney surrounding himself with angry white people like Donald Trump who seem to be unhappy with a minority President?  Probably because both Donald Trump and Mitt Romney are part of the 1% who represent the elite folks and will do anything to keep the 1% in power.  Where is Occupy Wall Street when you need them?

We will keep a list of all the birther whackos who are supporting Romney –  from Ken Bennet to Joe Arpaio this season.

From the Huffington:

The campaign’s new web video, released on Tuesday and coinciding with a Romney fundraiser featuring Trump at his Las Vegas hotel, highlights Trump’s repeated references to President Barack Obama’s birthplace and contrasts Romney with previous Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain of Arizona, who is shown in clips from 2008 denouncing supporters’ claims questioning Obama’s citizenship.

“As a Republican nominee, John McCain stood up to the voices of extremism in his party,” says the opening of the video. It later asks why Romney won’t do the same, following a series of clips highlighting Trump’s birther comments over the past year.
