Michigan. how does that justify the use of that reference to birther talk, when birther talk has been poisoned it was a throwaway line. it s part of the common culture. do you think it s funny that the president had to show his papers to shut down the birther talk? that he had to go to hawaii and get his documents released. do you think that was funny? i think that it is bizarre that people think that it is a challenge to be able to say, i was born there, here s my birth certificate. what s the big deal? because it hasn t stopped. because we ve got members of your caucus, the republican caucus, like louie gohmert and these people that keep talking it up. but romney was making, by any reasonable standard, he was making what s called a joke. first one he ever told. and it was a joke that actually no okay, let s listen to romney. here s mitt romney telling the joke. if it was a joke, there certainly was a punch to it. now, i love being home in this place where ....

A victim of rape or incest. it s not just akin, it s paul ryan, the vice presidential nominee. we don t know quite what romney thinks because he s been all over the board. it s my opponent who wants no exclusion there. you re right, senator. it s not only akin. it s even the candidate on top of the ticket. mitt romney interjecting the birther conversation. do you hear birther talk in ohio? i hear i don t go to rallies where they do the birther talk. that s where my opponent goes. i think it would be comical if it weren t tragic. this crowd has shown themselves not ready to leave. they have shown themselves way oud of the political mainstream. when they have that kind of money from the oil companies and from wall street and from the moguls, casino moguls, they can keep these candidates afloat and keep the races close. when they re not doing that with money, they re doing voter suppression. your thoughts on the early voting ban and the hours that have now been cut back and ....
