Mitt Romney's UM "Brownface" Becomes a Meme

Early this week, Mitt Romney showed up at the Univision event at the University of Miami aimed at Hispanic voters with a suspiciously orange tint to his skin. Some just laughed at his Charlie Crist-like fake tan job, but others accused him wearing "brownface" to appeal to Latinos. Of course, because this is the internet, spray-tanned Romney inspired people to fire up Photoshop and turn the tan into a meme.

The Romney campaign has even Charlie Crist-ized Marco Rubio in his television ads pimping for Romney/Ryan. What is up with all the orange?

They vote on their own raises, healthcare, and pension plans, and we are left with the bill. it time for some recalls . the gop are too dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it -- that that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. (They vote on their own raises, healthcare, and pension plans, and we are left with the bill. ,Members of Congress sleeping in the office are thus playing on the edge to eek out even more compensation from the taxpayer.
