Let's explore that for a second:

Okay, so a man born in Detroit, Michigan to two parents who are both life-long US Citizens ... is not a natural born citizen. How on earth did you come up with that???

George Romney, Mitt's father - the guy born in Mexico - ran for President and could have been President had he won through.

You're making yourself look really stupid here. But I'll bite anyways. How is Mitt not a natural born citizen of the United States? For that matter, how was his father George Romney not also a natural born citizen of the United States? Did you even read through the rest of the thread where this theory has been debunked over and over and over and over again??

Rick Santorum's father was born in ITALY also, I don't see anyone talking about it. Mitt Romney's father was born in an American colony of Mexico and was a US citizen from birth.

What did Mexican law say about anyone being born (including foreigners) in Mexico AT THE TIME George Romney was born there?

Yup, as you recall, I said we don't know who the sperm donor was. No sarcasm, dats a fact. You're the one trying to claim that as fact, then say "see, he really is a nbc". You just outed yourself as knowing a natural born citizen needs 2 U.S. citizen parents. oopsie
What do you call screaming?
Stick to backing up BigPharma and the medical cartel, your comfort zone. At least on that, you are consistent.

Was Rick Santorums father naturalized as a U.S. citizen before he was born? If so, he would be considered a Article 2 Section 1 natural born citizen, born of two U.S. citizen parents and eligible for the presidency.

Right and since Mitt Romney's father, mother, both grandmothers and both grandfathers were all US citizens, we can conclude that you didn't actually do any research whatsoever, don't know what the hell your talking about and yes Mitt Romney is a US citizen from birth.

Did you miss the part about Mitt's parents both being US citizens.

Hmmm:

http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd520.htm
Excerpts from Devvy Kidd’s ‘WILL THERE BE A CITIZENSHIP ELIGIBILITY CHALLENGE FOR ROMNEY?
....
‘it is absolutely clear that Mitt Romney is NOT a Natural Born Citizen unless he can prove that George Romney gained citizenship from naturalization prior to Mitt’s birth in 1947. I have found no records showing this to be the case.”


‘Mexican Constitution - Chapter II

Article 30. Mexican nationality is acquired by birth or by naturalization:
A. Mexicans by birth are:

*I. Those born in the territory of the Republic, regardless of the nationality of their parents:

II. Those born in a foreign country of Mexican parents; of a Mexican father and a foreign mother; or of a Mexican mother and an unknown father;
_________________
So those who said so definitively that George Romney was born a US citizen because he was born to US citizen parents, take note! His birth in Mexico determined his citizenship at birth, i.e he was born a Mexican! Did he ever naturalize in USA?
