Mitt Romney is holding a campaign event at a Miami restaurant owned by a convicted cocaine trafficker.

Romney appeared Monday evening at El Palacio de los Jugos, a restaurant owned by Reinaldo Bermudez. Court records show that Mr. Bermudez pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute cocaine in 1999 and served three years in federal prison.

As a convicted felon, Mr. Bermudez wouldn’t be eligible to vote in Florida unless the governor and the Cabinet restore his rights.

1. Butter?

What a shameless bunch.

2. "unless the governor and the Cabinet restore his rights"???? Hell, since he's

s*cking Zombie's, er, Romney's d*ck, he won't even have to show ID at the polls to vote in November ...

[monmouth]

6. I believe in Florida you only need the governor providing you have had no contact in any way with

the police. Probation usually helps to get the paperwork underway as they would know if the probationer had had any police contact.

3. Criminals are most comfortable among their own kind.

4. what was in the juice?

Appearing with Romney was Sen. Marco Rubio. Both men handed out juices to an excited crowd after making brief remarks. Romney was filming a campaign ad at the juice shop, aides said.

7. if it were a Dem doing this

the "liberally-biased media" would be running with the Republicans saying that the Dem was buying votes, and with as little as a glass of juice ...

13. "Hundson"? I see what they did there...

8. a man who cant have caffeine hanging out with a coke trafficker....sounds like a party to me

[Spitfire of ATJ]

10. Gee,...obviously Romney didn't just talk to Cheney after all...

...he hooked up with Pappy Bush too...

[rurallib]

11. "Crime doesn't Pay" - heard that all my life

and now everywhere I look is proof that yes it does if you are rich enough.

[klook]

12. Maybe Rmoney should've taken a powder in Miami, too (n/t)

14. Looks like Florida drug smugglers have a history of supporting Republicans.

15. Mitt don't care what he has to do to win.

He'd make a deal with the Devil. Mitt figures America owes him so very much that we should just make him president because everything else was handed to him on a silver platter since the day he was born. Mitt thinks he's "Entitled" buy birth to rule the country. He's another George W Bush just waiting to happen and now he's found himself a Dick Cheney like madman, to tell him what to do and how to act.

16. Oh ok the connection for all of last nights mitt energy! And I thought it was 2 red bulls. n/t
