Romney's attempt to woo Spanish speaking voters


pretty weak ad imo called Ya No Más or no more in English



Mitt Romney isn't giving Hispanics much to vote for. But he's giving them something to vote against: Barack Obama.

Where Obama said "Yes we can" in Spanish, Romney is saying "No more" in his latest spot, "Ya No Más," which raps Obama for promising much and delivering relatively little in comparison.

Is this about getting the Hispanic vote, or simply getting it not to show up in droves for Obama?

wearing one of those huge sequiny sombreros with the little dangly balls, and a brightly-colored serape over his $3,000 suit, to announce his solidarity with the Latino community. And then he smiles stiffly and says something like, "¿Quién liberó los perros? Woof, woof, woof."

That should do it.

kiddin' this was created by the mexican mitt character:

Accompanying the "Mitt Romney being Mexican" story, check out this parody Twitter account @MexicanMitt " the Most Mexican Man in the World" and his profile picture revealing Mitt Romney's face superimposed to a picture of a charro.

Someone posted an article about conservative brains being wired differently, perhaps there are other genetic traits?
