He recalled his roots growing up in Michigan and falling in love with wife, Ann, here. Ann Romney was born at Henry Ford Hospital, Romney said, and he arrived at Harper Hospital in Detroit.

"No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate," Romney said to cheers. "They know this is the place where we were born and raised."

Mark Brewer, Michigan Democratic Party Chairman, jumped on the remarks afterward.

"The real sad thing I hear is he's now become a birther," Brewer said after the event. "We got another step to the right by Mitt Romney."

That's right folks, we are going full on birther now!

1. That's not being a birther, that's being a DICK

And this guy want to be President of all of us?

[jpbollma]

2. Well

If he thinks he is going to win over Metro Detroiters with this crap he has another thing coming. Metro Detroit was responsible for giving Granholm two terms.

[KeepItReal]

3. Granholm is cool

I don't get how MI could flip to red after her

[jpbollma]

5. It flipped red

because she had two terms and MI kept going down the tubes. Whether it was her fault or not, they were able to elect someone who was not bat shit crazy and exploit that.

6. Also

The Dem opponent was from Lansing at a time when people were angry with Lansing. Very dumb move on the part of our party. People in the rest of the state are normally not going to support a Democrat from Detroit or Lansing for statewide office.

11. Thanks for the history, y'all

Hope the current GOP clown governor and his cohorts get run out of office soon.

4. Nobody knows which country to look for the Willard birth certificate

the same thing applies to his many foreign investments

[Politicalboi]

7. So what he is saying is

I'm white, there is no need to look at my birth certificate.

[Care Acutely]

13. "I am a white male landowner of impeccable pedigree"

know your place

[ChoppinBroccoli]

8. Except For The Fact That Mitt Was Born In Mexico

And Mitt's dad renounced his American citizenship. Hey, I know it might not be "technically" true, but it has as much truth as anything any birther has ever said. Why can't we advance a few blatant lies of our own, just to muddy the waters a little bit?

[longship]

9. "Metro" Detroit!!

I would bet my bottom dollar that he did not show his face south of Eight Mile Road, in other words within Detroit city limits.

Detroit, to Mitt, means Bloomfield fucking Township, one the wealthiest places in the state.

on edit: When I say that I was born in Detroit, I actually mean Detroit, not some suburb of entitled pricks.

Proudly born and raised in Detroit.

10. No one cared enough to even ask..n/t

[Care Acutely]

12. Just unreal. I'd like to personally thank him

for shitting all over his own convention. Thank you for being a straight up fucking idiot, Willard.
