Andrea Mitchell Claims Mitt Romney’s Family Entered The Country Illegally

video
» 353 comments

Appearing on The Chris Matthews Show, in a discussion on the upcoming Florida primary, Andrea Mitchell claimed that Mitt Romney‘s relatives entered the United States illegally.

“And looking ahead to the next primary in Florida, 30 percent of the Hispanic community is Cuban-American. That’s a smaller proportion, and so the Hispanic community there is different. And they are less prone to be susceptible to Mitt Romney’s really hard line on immigration, more prone to the Newt Gingrich approach to immigration,” Mitchell observed. “The other interesting little fact is about the Mexican Romneys, those looking back at all of those records say that Mitt Romney should look back at the records because the Romneys that came back from Mexico to the United States, they crossed the border illegally.”

Mitchell’s remarks left conservative columnist Kathleen Parker in stunned silence. “Well, you may have one-upped me on that one, Andrea!” Parker exclaimed incredulously.

As Newsbusters’ Noel Sheppard notes, it was unclear where Mitchell was basing this claim. Romney’s Mexican roots have been widely reported; this morning, NPR wrote a story about Romney’s Mexican family, but didn’t explore whether his ancestors were documented citizens.

According to NPR’s John Burnett:

In 1912, the Mormons fled their colonies in Mexico to escape the violence of the Mexican revolution.

Miles Park Romney begat Gaskell Romney, who begat George Romney. George — who was never a Mexican citizen — was 5 years old when the family left Mexico. He went on to be an auto executive, governor of Michigan, and a presidential candidate. George begat Mitt, who was born in Detroit.

Most of the Mormons never went back to Mexico. But one of Miles Park’s sons, Miles Archibold, did return. And it is his progeny who remain here today, Mitt’s second cousins.

UPDATE: Burnett told Mediaite he did not come across any documents indicating the Gaskell Romney family came to the US illegally, noting they were part of an exodus of 1,200 Mormons from Mexico.

CNN contributor Ruben Navarrette Jr. explains that Romney’s ancestors crossed into Mexico but never became Mexican citizens:

Romney’s great-grandfather, Miles Park Romney, fled the United States and crossed into Mexico in 1885 to escape religious persecution. He helped build the Mormon enclave of Colonia Juarez in Chihuahua.

Miles Park Romney never became a Mexican citizen, and neither did his son, Gaskell, or grandson, George. They were all denied Mexican citizenship because statutes on the books in Mexico denied that right to American settlers and their offspring.

    Pretty sure she meant the opposite of the Hispanic community in Florida being more prone to either candidate’s position on immigration. Because if she wasn’t isn’t Romney hardline on immigration not going to play well anywhere?

    There are many Hispanics who are not happy with our open borders nor are they happy with much of the immigration that has occurred in the last several decades. One would be foolish to think that the Hispanic population are of one mindset on immigration, and the population here in Florida is much different than in many parts of the country..  it is much more influenced by populations from Caribbean and South American countries, they do not necessarily subscribe to the whole Mexican war meme thing or progressive open border policies as many of them have left their countries to get away from the socialistic tendencies of their governments and they fell that they see similar tendencies becoming popular here in the states.

    The US Constitution says that to be an american citizen you have to be born in the US or be a naturalized US Citizen. It does not matter what the laws of Mexico say on this matter. So his relatives were not American or Mexican citizens. So they were illegal in both countries, talk about a lack of respect for the law of the land.

    I’d read this before and wondered why it wasn’t made a bigger issue, if true. 

    This is a little background from the Wiki page on Romney’s dad and it suggests he was a citizen so Mitchell could be wrong: 

    Romney’s grandparents were polygamous Mormons who fled the United States with their children because of the federal government’s opposition to polygamy.[1] His maternal grandfather was Helaman Pratt (1846–1909), who presided over the Mormon mission in Mexico City before moving to the state of Chihuahua and who was the son of original Mormon apostle Parley P. Pratt (1807–1857).[2][3] In the 1920s, Romney’s uncle Rey L. Pratt (1878–1931) played a major role in the preservation and expansion of the Mormon presence in Mexico and in its introduction to South America.[4] A more distant kinsman was George Romney (1734–1802), a noted portrait painter in Britain during the last quarter of the 18th century.[5]Romney’s parents were American citizens Gaskell Romney (1871–1955) and Anna Amelia Pratt (1876–1926); natives of Utah, they married in 1895 in Mexico and lived in Colonia Dublán, Galeana, in the Mexican state of Chihuahua (one of the Mormon colonies in Mexico) where George was born on July 8, 1907.[1][3][6] They practiced monogamy.[1] George had three older brothers, two younger brothers, and a younger sister.[7] Gaskell Romney was a successful carpenter, house builder, and farmer who headed the most prosperous family in the colony.[8][9]The Mexican Revolution broke out in 1910 and the Mormon colonies were endangered in 1911–1912 by raids from marauders,[10] including “Red Flaggers” Pascual Orozco and José Inés Salazar.[11] Young George heard the sound of distant gunfire and saw rebels walking through the village streets.[11][12] The Romney family fled and returned to the United States in July 1912, leaving their home and almost all of their property behind.[1][13] Romney would later say, “We were the first displaced persons of the 20th century.”[14]

    “New hirings”? Andrea Mitchell’s been at NBC practically since the talkies came in; with the death of Tim Russert, only Tom Brokaw has been there longer, & only Brokaw & Not Quite Dead Yet But Not At All Well Bob Scheiffer as long on network or cable TV.  And Kathleen Parker’s been on cable TV shows since before Roger Ailes aired his first Fuppet Show; she even co-hosted that short-run show on CNN with Eliot Spitzer, post SprtizerGate. And even if somehow you weren’t aware of all that, it should be obvious that you don’t get this level of quality Beltway-centric think, wildly irrelevant misinformation, high school pap, & downright wrong impressions from newbies – it only comes from the sort of proven old hands at those speciality areas that Tweetybird invites onto his Sammy Maudlin Sunday Revival Hour:

    I hope she has firm evidence for making that statement.  It was my understanding his family were citizens of the US before they returned to the US.  If she’s unable to can firmly back her statement, she will lose creditability over this.  Otherwise, I like Andrea Mitchell and she has been accurate in the past. Those who are speaking out against her are only doing it because she’s not on FOX, who’s viewers according to an University of Maryland happen to be more misinformed than those who do not watch the news.   That pretty much says why they just make negative comments about her without including facts to to back their statements.  Unfortunately, FOX doesn’t give them any for them to parrot.  Go ahead FOX heads, tell me how wrong I am without using any factual statements. Don’t even bother to give me your ignorant opinion without proving any facts or factual statements.  I will not waste my time by answering back.

    Jack, I’m from Miami and son of Cuban immigrants. I am well aware of the differences. That is why I think Andrea meant the opposite, because if she didn’t then she doesn’t know what she is talking about. Cubans in particular are conservative and welcome a tougher immigration policy. The LA hispanic community consisting of primarily mexicans are completely different. But as you mentioned, Hispanics are pigeonholed into a particular group. And that is just not the reality. A friend of mine once assumed Cuban food is spicy, because mexican food and some south american countries cook with a lot of spice. Obviously that is not the case. The conservative principles that are anathema to Castro are why Florida’s hispanic community usually vote R, and also because Clinton shipped Elian off.

    True that. 

    I’m with those who doubts Mitchell has her neurons lined up on the Mexicani Mitt story, but here goes: TECHNICALLY she may be correct, in that leaving the U.S. can amount to renouncing U.S. citizenship, even if the country being fled to refuses to grant citizenship there. 

    The great American-born athlete & bass-baritone singer Paul Robeson left the U.S. while renouncing it for racism & oppression of black Americans, & moved to the Soviet Union, where he was granted citizenship – but it still took him years to gain that, & during those years he was a person without citizenship anywhere. This might seem strange to the younger crowd here, but it was quite common in years gone by, when the European map kept changing due to war. I had a close family member who was ordered deported from his country of birth & wandered around the world for 9 years without citizenship anywhere before he was granted “naturalized” (as opposed to “natural”) citizenship here.  

    To reiterate: if Miles Romney, Mitt’s grandfather, renounced U.S. citizenship when he left the U.S. for Mexico, when he & his family, including Mitt’s father George, returned to the U.S., TECHNICALLY they would have to report to the U.S. Immigration Service, accurately & honestly report their status, & apply for U.S. citizenship. If they didn’t do all of that, then it’s not that Mitt is an ‘illegal’, but his father George certainly would have been an ‘illegal’, & I suppose Mitt could be seen as an anchor baby.       

  • Anonymous

    First of all this has nothing to do with Romney. First of all Romney’s father was born in the the USA and that made him a citizen and so was Romney. Now if Romney’s grandfather was born in the USA and then went to Mexico he too would be a US citizen. 
    “In 1912, the Mormons fled their colonies in Mexico to escape the violence of the Mexican revolution. ” In the year 1912 there was little notice to the border and there was very little controls of immigration into the US. 
    This whole article is just an attempt to create trouble in the ranks of the republicans.

    I think that you are right but Andrea draws her conclusions for the wrong reasons.  I lived in Miami as a child, and my wife is a Venezuelan immigrant.  I recently lived a few years in the Weston area and understand a bit of the diversity of the Hispanic population of S. Florida.  I don’t think that Andrea understands this in the same way that you do or in the same way that I feel that I do.  I think that she is saying that because only 30% of the Hispanic population of S. Florida is Cuban, that they will have a more moderate view (more in line with the rest of the country) on immigration… I know that my wife and other of her friends have a stricter view on immigration as they are concerned about the attitudes and reasons that many people come here. South American immigrants are different than both Cuban immigrants and very different than Mexican immigrants, they all bring the values that helped them to immigrate here in the first place, and for different demographics those values can be very diverse.  

    Overall I think that Newt’s position is far better received as it is more humane, but I think that Andrea drawls her conclusion for the wrong reasons. But maybe I am reading more into what she said than is really there.

    Obama hides it all? Are you people still around? He was born in the United States, in Hawaii, unlike McCain or Romney’s dad. Even if Obama was born in Kenya, he’d still be a natural born citizen under the Constitution and U.S. regulations, just like McCain would’ve been as well. You guys are fantasizing about some ridiculous and ultimately meaningless standard that doesn’t exist. 

    But let’s play the game. Let’s pretend that both Obama was born in Kenya and somehow there’s a standard that would then make him ineligible for the presidency. Total fantasy but bear with me. What difference would that ultimately make in terms of his ability to be a leader of the United States? He’s clearly a citizen of the United States, right, and his mom was American, right? Why is this such an issue with you nutcases? 

    Why was McCain being born in Panama fine but Obama being “born in Kenya” (total fantasy) not? 

    Where is your evidence that Obama is spending “millions” to hide his identity? Please don’t just past conjecture from a right-wing blog. Show us the actual evidence (there is none). 

    And it’s MSN, not MSM. You guys can’t even get the name right of the network you’re complaining about. It would be like me calling Fox “Fog” all of the time.

    Why is this even an issue?  Mitt was born in the states which immediately qualifies him as a natural citizen of the US… and before you start with the deal that the parents matter do a little research.  Prevailing view of legal minds is that he is eligible and the only SCOTUS law regarding the issue would tend to support that argument.  The myth that the parents have to be citizens at time of birth is just that a myth.  

    You’re just chasing your tail with this argument.

    During the Mexican Revolution, a five year old George Romney, Mitt’s father, entered the United States illegally with his family. The Romney family had originally fled to Mexico to escape persecution in the United States because of their Mormon beliefs (specifically their polygamy). Many years passed and George was born in Mexico.  As all REAL conservative Americans know, being born in another country automatically makes you a citizen of that country.

    Sure, Mitt’s grandfather was still an American citizen just like President Obama’s mother was when he was born in some country named “Hawaii” (often mistaken for Kenya by conservatives who are terrible at geography). Sure, the Constitution states that any child born to an American citizen is a citizen themselves no matter WHERE they are born (ask the GOP’s last presidential nominee, John McCain, born in Panama). But we can’t have a double standard now, could we?

     Remember, Birtherism is absolutely not about race whatsoever. No way, no how. Absolutely not, At all. Even a tiny little bit. Really.

    You misread everything I wrote, SJ. I basically pointed out that Mitchell is probably wrong. I don’t think there’s any question that he’s a citizen, and no one is suggesting so. It would, however, impact his stance on illegal immigration. If he takes a hard line against illegals but his dad was one, then he looks like a hypocrite. But like I already said, I don’t think Mitchell was right.

    Good work – to a point. The point I raised earlier (somewhere below) is whether George’s dad renounced U.S. citizenship. The larger issue is whether this has anyting at all to do with Mitt’s citizenship, & the simple answer is, No. Even if George entered the U.S. as not-a-U.S.-citizen (which appears very possible), that still leaves Mitt being born IN the U.S. to an American-born U.S. citizen mother. Now – I wonder if there’s ever been a precedent for this situation? Hmm: 44 presidents, leave out the first ones who are exempt from all this because of being founders or alive in the colonies at the time the Constitution was approved, knock out Chester Arthur whose dad was Irish born & who was plagued by rumors he himself was “foreign born” (nothing new under the sun), carry the 8, square the hypotenuse — now who might be in the exact same situation as Mittens …. oh wait.

    kathleen parker is a snob and a b’tch.  

    asto the romney mormon cult family,  his grand or great-grandfather fled to mexico to avoid prosecution for polygamy.. mormons are and always have been a secretive tight knit cult (that is why hoards of BYU and LDS young people were bused into SC to support romney to make it look like they were locals)..

    if his great grandfather fled to mexico so he could continue with his illegal polygamy let’s not pretend it’s beyond this family’s ethics to come back into the country illegally, when they wanted to.

    they are a cult, get them the hell out of our gov.

    What I’d like to know is how Andrea Mitchell’s ancestors came here. As a genealogist hobbiest, I can tell you there are a lot of people who came here without permission, either at this end or their ancestor’s ends. My own ancestors were illegal immigrants–they were Pilgrims and they most certainly did not have permission from the Native Americans.

    A Purebred Mormon ChickenHawk

    A blue ribbon ChickenHawk named Mitt
    Used every type deferment he could get
    To stay out of Viet Nam
    And avoid serving Uncle Sam
    For he supported the war, while he avoided it.

    Mitt’s daddy, George, was an exotic ChickenHawk
    Born in Mexico of good Mormon polygamous stock
    But when the Mexican war began
    These Mormons up and ran
    To adapt to the rest of their Salt Lake City flock.

    Mitt counter-protested those who stood against the war
    ‘Cause daddy taught him to avoid serving in The Corps
    Then a Mormon mission to France
    Insured there was no chance
    That little Mitt would ever have to face the bloody gore.

    When Mitt next became a world class neocon
    He made sure his five sons would carry on
    The Romney ChickenHawk bloodline
    With that yellow Mormon spine
    By avoiding service against the followers of the Quran.

    So the next time you hear those loud war squawks
    When Mitt stands to give his Presidential talks
    Remember there’s nary a draftee
    In Mitt’s Mormon pedigree
    ‘Cause he’s from a line of purebred ChickenHawks!

    First, he was born in Hawaii. Second, let’s pretend he was born in Kenya. The onus is on you birther idiots to prove that he’s not a “natural born citizen,” right? You admit at least he is a citizen because he is the son of a U.S. citizen, right? 

    Well, here’s your explanation then, from Wikipedia: 

    “The Constitution does not define the phrase natural-born citizen, and various opinions have been offered over time regarding its precise meaning. TheCongressional Research Service has stated that the weight of scholarly legal and historical opinion indicates that the term means one who is entitled under the Constitution or laws of the United States to U.S. citizenship “at birth” or “by birth,” including any child born “in” the United States (other than to foreign diplomats serving their country), THE CHILDREN OF UNITED STATES CITIZENS BORN ABROAD, AND THOSE BORN ABROAD OF ONE CITIZEN PARENT WHO HAS MET RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS.”

    “On October 31, 2008, Hawaii Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino issued a statement saying, “I … have personally seen and verified that the Hawai’i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.” [33][80] On July 27, 2009, Hawaii Health Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino issued a statement saying, “I … have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen.”[81] On April 27, 2011, the White House released a copy of President Obama’s birth certificate.[82]“ 

    P.S.–Keep digging in, birthers. The more you idiots comment on websites, the more you show the rest of us how stupid the GOP base has become.

    Why, Skate185, I happen to have the proof you seek! (He WASN’T born in Kenya but for for the fun of it, here’s the rules that might apply if his mother hadn’t been in the States at the time of his birth.

    Birth abroad to one United States citizen

    1. The person’s parents were married at time of birth

    2. One of the person’s parents was a U.S. citizen when the person in question was born3.The citizen parent lived at least five years in the United States before the child’s birth4. A minimum of two of these five years in the United States were after the citizen parent’s 14th birthday.

    INA 301(g) makes additional provisions to satisfy the
    physical-presence requirements for periods citizens spent abroad in
    “honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States, or periods
    of employment with the United States Government or with an international
    organization”. Additionally citizens who spent time living abroad as
    the “dependent unmarried son or daughter and a member of the household
    of a person” in any of the previously mentioned organizations can also
    be counted.

    A person’s record of birth abroad, if registered with a U.S.
    consulate or embassy, is proof of citizenship. Such a person may also
    apply for a passport or a Certificate of Citizenship to have a record of
    citizenship. Such documentation is often useful to prove citizenship in
    lieu of the availability of an American birth certificate.

    Different rules apply for persons born abroad to one U.S. citizen
    before November 14, 1986. United States law on this subject changed
    multiple times throughout the twentieth century, and the law is
    applicable as it existed at the time of the individual’s birth.

    For persons born between December 24, 1952 and November 14, 1986, a
    person is a U.S. citizen if all of the following are true (except if
    born out-of-wedlock)[8]:

    1. The person’s parents were married at the time of birth2. One of the person’s parents was a U.S. citizen when the person was born3. The citizen parent lived at least ten years in the United States before the child’s birth;4. A minimum of 5 of these 10 years in the United States were after the citizen parent’s 14th birthday.

    For persons born out-of-wedlock (mother) if all the following apply:

    1. the mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of the person’s birth and the mother was physically present in the United States or one of its
    outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the
    person’s birth.[9] (See link for those born to a U.S. father out-of-wedlock)[8]

    Wrong. At the time of McCain’s birth, there was no laws governing US military bases in other countries and the kids born there. Congress actually passed a bill to make it possible that McCain could run for the highest office. The law affected tens of thousands of Americans who were in the same predicament, and it cost several millions of dollars too because then those people were eligible for certain government benefits that they were otherwise not. Go google and learn how Congress MADE John McCain eligible to run for President, because he was not.. I repeat… NOT… a “natural born citizen”.

    “Where is your evidence that Obama is spending “millions” to hide his identity?”
    There’s zero evidence for that. It’s been debunked endlessly. Nutcase Orly Taitz started this rumor by citing a published post-election figure for legal expenses and baselessly claimed it was to hide a birth certificate. Despite the total lack of evidence for Orly’s claim, Palin repeated it, and it became gospel to the birfers.

    But why bother these nuts with facts? They can see not one one, but two documents presented to them and vouched for by the state of Hawaii (including its then-GOP governor), vintage birth announcements, etc. – but it won’t budge them. They just cant handle the fact a black man is their president and hope they can find a magic document to reverse 2008.

    Anyone born inside the United States *Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen
    of the U.S. does not impair the person’s status as a citizen of the
    tribeAny one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens
    of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and

    nationalAny one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in
    the U.S. for at least one yearAny one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be
    determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age
    21Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as
    long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for
    at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this
    time)A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien
    father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.

    * There is an exception in the law — the person must be “subject
    to the jurisdiction” of the United States. This would exempt the child of a

    I heard NPR’s report when it aired. As a resident here in the borderland, that is the first thing that occurred to me. For those of you who are not familiar with our southern border, it has been fluid until relatively recently (like 20 years ago). I know many people who live in El Paso and do not even know which country they were born in as the border was not the demarcation it now is. The New Mexican Governor’s family is from El Paso and the same question arose about her relatives recently too. 

    This is hardly some media propoganda. It would not be surprising at all if Mitt’s family did not legally immigrate, not because they were criminals trying to pull a fast one, but because that was the way it was done here at the time. You just moved to a new address which was in the US. Who would they have asked about immigration in the early 1900′s? Do you honestly think anyone in El Paso or Las Cruces would have even cared let alone had knowledge of the US policy on immigration.

    Its like his own relatives expressed in the NPR report. MItt should go down to visit them and fully understand what it is like to co-exist with another country so closely. BTW, they differ from him about immigration-no surprise there.

    I’ll be perfectly honest with you, I don’t understand Mitt Romney’s family story.  According to the documents cited above, Romney’s great grandfather fled America, in order to escape religious persecution.  At that point he was refused Mexican citizenship.  He, however, was still a U.S. citizen.  He had a son (Mitt Romney’s grandfather).  Was this son (Romney’s grandfather) also refused Mexican citizenship?  He couldn’t be, right, because he was born in Mexico?!  If he was, what would he be considered, a U.S. citizen born on foreign soil?  The confusing part for me is the status of Mitt Romney’s father, George Romney.  Whatever excuse you want to make for the great grandfather and the grandfather, you cannot make for him.  He was born as a second-generation seed of the Mexican branch of the Romney family.  George Romney has to be considered Mexican, because he is the Mexican-born son of a Mexican-born man.  How can someone be born two generations outside of the U.S. and still be considered a U.S. citizen?  I’m sure George Romney would have had to get naturalized as a citizen of the U.S. because of this.  This being the case, I have no idea how he was able to run for president.  Mitt Romney, on the other hand, was just born here.  There shouldn’t be any controversy around his qualification to be president.  He should; however, be a little kinder to immigrants, considering his family history.

     Those were strange times and  hard too.  From about 1895 to 1912 they had to live in mud huts till they could find land to buy which then Mexico Pres  Perfirio Diaz (sp) sorta told them it would be available if the Mormons would help settle the North Central parts of Chihuahua.  They got land built homes and farms and ranches and when it all looked good,  the Mexican Revolution got hat in that area, mostly from Pancho Villas men who needed guns to continue the fight.  AND NO The Mormons did not RUN as was suggested, they were told by the Church to leave and they all did.  Some did go back and those families remain there still, many holding dual citizenships if not all by now.  My Father was born in Col Dublan and left Mexico at age 8, never went back.  I moved back to Arizona 2.5 years ago, after living in Col Juarez for 3 years, where most of the Romneys live today in Mexico.   I believe its a known fact Mitt has never even visited his relatives in Mexico.  I dont know where Mitt got his money but the cousins in Mexico earned theirs. and still do.  They ranch and farm hard and it gets harder.  A week after I left Mexico one of the elder and influential Romneys was kidnapped by the bandit cartels. One Romney family, younger family,  after building a new and large home in Col Juarez, just packed it in and moved to the US and live in El Paso, Tx.  I have a son and three grandkids living in Col Juarez right now and the kids do NOT want to leave, But its just not safe anymore.  I still visit two three times a year, and personally like it down there but its not easy to live in Mexico if your not a Mexican Citizen.

    Mencius, arguing with the right wing chicken hawk supporters is like arguing with a wall. You can not win no matter how prepared you are. They hate that their team lost the presidency and they will fight and argue no matter what. It is as if they think if they argue and debate it enough that some magical thing will happen and make it true.

    If you Obama haters want to debate Obama’s job performance as president that is fine. There has been enough time to do so but if all you want to do is character assassinate the man than don’t waste the time of those of us who are smart enough not to waste our time or yours.

    I am a Ron Paul supporter by the way and could care less about Barak Obama but I do not have time for those who simply hate based on their prejudiced feelings. I don’t mean racial prejudism but party prejudism.

    Both the left and the right are so slanted to their political beliefs that both argue about nonsense. We have real issues and we should be taking those issues on as a people and offer real solutions regardless of our political mindsets. We take the mantle of our politicians and we should be showing our leaders how to lead instead of parroting their behavior and poor decision making.

    In the past our leaders were real leaders and despite their differences they accomplished real solutions for their times. Today we have nothing but ignorant pride and arrogance in the way of working solutions for the better of the country. We should not completely put party before people.

    Ron Paul has been above the trash and pettiness. He brings real ideas that are not predicated on placating the masses. I will take integrity and honesty over candidates that play to the crowd and then fulfill none of their policies. Their is only one candidate that has stayed away from the joke of an establishment in Washington DC. Ron Paul.

    Ron Paul will not get elected but I myself will continue to support him and his views. When it is all said and done people will suffer buyers remorse and me and the others smart enough to support Dr. Paul will bask in the glow of knowing you all have come around to our way of thinking. Unfortunately as a nation we will not have time to bask too long.

    In the end beating our heads against a wall as to whether George HW Bush is an evil bastard behind the WTC and pentagon attacks is as fruitless as questioning Obama’s legitimacy for the presidency. Stop wasting time with this nonsense and hold our leaders to a higher standard when it comes to helping make this country better. That does not mean you should vote my way but that should you vote you have real issues that you can discuss and debate.

    McCain was born in Panama because his father was in military service there. I too, was in military service in Germany when my son was born. His birth certificate say “American Citizen Born Abroad” just like McCain’s does as well. Even if Obama was born in Hawaii (and he wasn’t!) Only his mother was an American Citizen. His Father was a Citizen of Kenya, Africa. To be President, BOTH parents have to be American Citizens.

    Are we going to vet Obama?  Looks like it’s way past time.

    Obama is not qualified to be POTUS.  Per the Constitution, both parents of a U.S. president must be citizens at the time of the child’s birth for the child to be considered “natural born citizens.”  The only two positions in this country this applies to are POTUS and VPOTUS.  Why?  Because the Founders didn’t want to chance divided loyalties and fealties…which we see evidenced in this president.

    Obama’s father was a Kenyan and had British citizenship at the time of Obama’s birth.  This has always disqualified him from being qualified to hold the position.

    Now, we Americans must decide whether the millions that he spent hiding his records from us constitutes a crime – fraud, treason, disenfranchisement – and whether to try him for his outrageous crimes.

    Please note that “native born citizen” is not the same as “natural born citizens” which requires a person to be born on U.S. soil, on military bases, and both parents have U.S. citizenship at the time of the child’s birth.

    We must now also decide how to hold our elected representatives accountable for this heinous breach of duty and failure to uphold and defend our constitution.

    The gig’s up and Americans won’t sit idly by and allow a usurper and fraud to destroy our country any longer.

    He never once spoke out about Warren Jeff and obviously he knew just like he never speaks out about his families operation in Mexico today and yes they have come in and out of the united states illegally for a hundred years. The press is giving him a free pass on all the issues clearly his history and his family colony in Mexico should be front and center in this debate. including the members serving in the military in the US. He likes to talk about sports authoriy and staple but the narrative should be all of Bain Capital from start to end.and minimum wages are not middle class jobs as he continues to state.Having off shore accounts is criminal and unamerican and should be an automatic disqualifier for the Presidency.
    Rick Santorums wife slept with an abortionist for six years
    Newt Ginrich is as bad as it gets
    Ron Paul is a babbling, moronic Racist
    What a choice ? God help us all

    Andrea Mitchell is an idiot (along with Chuck Todd). I turned off the TV after their obvious biased vitriol. Even in Rockcenter’s original story of this (which was equally biased and I will never watch again), it was stated that Mitt Romney’s relatives had dual citizenship. She should get her facts straight before shooting off at the mouth….

    Go ahead and be petty with one another and debate nonsense like where Obama was born, if 9/11 was an inside job and whether Romney is the product of illegal immigrants. We have real issues in this country and all this divisive nonsense gets us nowhere. None of the stuff above can be proven. It has all been looked at and nothing has come from it. I am sure anything along the lines of Obama’s or Romney’s legal citizenship has been seriously combed over. Deal with things we know are proven and have substance to be debated as opposed to this stuff which no one can prove and have no basis for debate.

    I care about my country and I could care less who is responsible for turning things around. As it stands with the people of this country being as polarized as our politicians nothing will change.

    I may not necessarily agree with all the policies of people outside my political party of choice but if they bring a sound mind and an ability to work across the isle and bring us a once again thriving nation I do not care what party they represent.

     I am not attacking anyone for discussing the particular issues I say are nonsense but I am saying that there is not a whole lot to be gained in doing so. We all want what is best for America I am sure but there is so much venom between each party. We are all Americans people.

    If we can be civil maybe we can show our leaders how to truly govern our great nation. Everything is not left or right, black or white and cut and dry. There is a middle and it does work. We may lean to one side or the other but there is middle ground to be found on key issues.

    I do think there are battles to be had but not everything needs to be a battle. I grew up a liberal democrat but I did not hate George HW Bush though I disliked much of his policies.

    I see no reason for the nasty venom from so many on the right toward Obama. Character assassination is so unnecessary. It is one thing to disagree with a mans politics and his job but some of this stuff leveled against Barak Obama is childish and serves no purpose.

    I felt the same way when many on the left made personal attacks on our last president. It serves no purpose. We can dislike policies but we do not have to have a hate for the people whose politics are different than our own.

    Who knew that Andrea Mitchell had a touch of birther in her……..

    The words “All persons born” end the pointless tirade of hate you spew, the amended constitution corrected any issue you bring up. Long live Article 14 and may it burn in the gullets of birther bagger scum everywhere.

    MSNBC ratings ….in the tank.what a surprise.  They hire a Sharpton (see T. Brawly) oh and how much taxes does he owe?  One must wonder, how long will their parent company let them loose money?
    To recap conservatives, including tea party members, illegally entered into this country, don’t pay enough taxes, and hate all minorities.  This is the montra on MSNBC.  Explains their ratings!

    Andrea Mitchell has no basis for her story of the illegal crossing.  My great-grandmother, my grandfather, and his brothers and sisters were all in the Mormon exodus from the Mexican settlements in 1912.  The settlers fled the fighting connected with the Mexican revolution, where they were caught in the crossfire.  Many of the Mormons, including my family, crossed back into the US at Douglas, Arizona.  The crossing was hardly illegal; in fact, the US goverment set up an Army tent camp at Douglas to receive the Mormons.

    Not many people know this but Andrea Greenspan used to kick it with Castaneda back in the day. Yes. She IS that old.

    …an observation, however, that does nothing to invalidate his point.

    Your right, that’s why I’m voting for 5 deferment Gunner Joe, and the dope smoking ex-marine Obama, and his kids who are soon to join a military academy.
     How many of you lib’s”talking out of both sides of your mouth,” voted for McCain. Bush over draft dodging Clinton, or Dole over, oh draft dodging Clinton. Can you say Delicious!  Punk’d by their own words again.
