This is kind of the unstated sentiment for a lot of Americans who are planning to vote for Mitt Romney, because there is no other real reason to vote to put this numbskull in office. Of course, Obama is no better. He’s proven during his first term that he’s bought and paid for by special interests that do not have the interests of the 99% in mind. So, damned if you do, fucked if you don’t.
Still this Vote Romney 2012 He’s White T Shirt is strong because it points out that we’re not out of the woods with that racist shit…even in 2012. Can you believe it? T Shirt Hell does some super offensive stuff, but that also put out some pretty strong social commentary.

Actually, he’s as half-Mexican. And Obama is only half-Kenyan. So…
No.
A lot of people voting for Romney, like myself, planned to vote for Herman Cain, seeing him as the ideal GOP candidate. Things like this are a distraction from the issues and reek of Theodor Adorno.
The “as” wasn’t supposed to be before “half-Mexican”. What I started to say was “he’s as Mexican as Obama is black”, but I guess I forgot to remove the “as”.
Actually, I have to correct myself again. I had to fact check myself in regards to Romney being Mexican and it turns out that, ethnically, he is not Mexican. I don’t like spreading disinformation, so I felt it necessary to retract half of my previous statement.
This is what happens when you read a CNN article and actually believe what it says.
Ripplemagne – thanks for being so thorough in your replies. I think the point of the shirt is…it’s all a hokey bullshit game and it doesn’t matter who the President is. They are beholden to higher powers (think: Wall St., C.I.A., and more). Both of the candidates have been vetted by these powers or they wouldn’t be in the position to win a US Presedential election. Actually, this one is totally sticking it to the racists, but I had to rant on the thoroughly corrupt system.
