Uncovering Mitt Romney's Mexican heritage

It's a little-known fact that there's a whole branch of Mitt Romney's family living south of the border, including his second cousin Leighton Romney, and about 40 other relatives descended from religious pioneers who first traveled to Mexico 125 years ago. NBC's Mike Taibbi reports for Rock Center with Brian Williams, Monday, Jan. 9 at 10pm/9c.

    Does this mean if Mitt gets elected he will think about offering Mexico statehood?

        It would seem that we would be better off if you would just report the news and not add your side of the story, yes we are smart enough to figure out what they are saying without you help, damn vote for the person not the party, that is what has caused the trouble in the USA anyway we are all Americans forget the party and take care of the country.

            Teko,

            Did you know that the Mormon church's actual name is, The Church of Jesus Christ of LatterDay Saints? If Mormons aren't Christian, than why do we have the name of Jesus Christ in our church? We are Christians obliviously.
