Romney Gets a Pass on "Better off Mexican" Comment - The Orange Mane

What's really amazing in all this is that Romney's 47% comment is so spectacularly terrible that he's basically gotten a pass on the fact that he said he would be better off if his grandparents were Mexican. A complete conservative dream-world "whites are the true minority" comment.

Let's just think about this for a minute. If he was Mexican, would Mitt's dad ever have become governor, or a top executive? Of course not. Not at that time.

But poor Mitt, if only he didn't have to overcome his white-ness, we would have already made him president for life by now.
