“How many times to I have to explain to you morons that the question is about Mitt’s father being born in Mexico and not about Mitt being born in the USA.”
“I guess you don’t understand that. Jackass. Figures though.”
George Romney, Mitts father was born in Mexico to US citizen parents. He is a born US citizen per US law. No need for his being naturalized. Period.
Mitt was born in the US to US Citizen parents. There is no need for him to be naturalized....in fact the quality of his birth is one of being a Natural Born Citizen. Period.
You are the type of person that gives people with legitimate concerns about Obama’s lack of eligibility a bad name. Your ignorance of US law, History, Mores, and Customs is appalling Your posts are sophmoric, and your ad hominum attacks demeaning to both yourself and the object of your anger. Get a grip on it. Post to me again in the same abusive manner and I’ll make sure the moderators aware of your behavior. Repeat.... don’t post your junk at me or any other FReeper again. Do not engage in ad hominum attacks on me or any other FReeper. Ever. Clear enough for you?????

This is what has never been tested in court. Until you understand the conversation you need to butt of it.
Your problem is that you don’t understand the issue. This is the same issue some say disqualifies Obama, namely that his father was Britsh.
As far as commenting you are the typical poster who posts crap and then gets offended when challenged.
Do you understand now what we are discussing? I hope so because you are just confusing anyone that has read your comments.

We are not discussing Mitt’s birth in he US. His place of birth has never been disputed. You are aware I take it that George Romney was born in Mexico, to parents residing permanently in Mexico due to their prosecution of their polygamous belief derived from their Mormon faith.
My original comment was pointed toward the question of was George ever formally naturalized? You are saying that it doesn’t matter. That he was automatically made a citizen which would automatically give Mitt NBC. I am saying it that might not be the case.
I do not know what the custom of the time was but today, a birth of a child to us citizens abroad has to be reported to the consulate. I doubt if George’s father was withing a week’s travel of any american consulate.
Then you have to ask, when George was brought in the US was he ever naturalized through contact with the US Goverment or did he just fly under the radar. His father designated him as a us citizen on the 1910 census. Is that enough? Can a US citizen actually take the authority to determine if their child is an US citizen? Are you sure they can because you would have too in order to believe that George was made a us citizen outside of any process.
There exists a possibility that George was not an American citizen when Mitt was born which of course would cause Mitt problems.
I apologize for calling you a moron but I am equally irritated by your condescending comments especially the childish “ta ta sonny” which may simply be a staple of your normal conversation. What irritates me the most about about you though is that you think you run this place.
You are no Jim Robinson and you will not tell me what I can or can not do.
