I cringe at what world opinion must be of us whenever one of these buffoons opens their mouth.

Canada/any European country = socialists taking away freedom
Russia/China = communists taking our jobs
Any Third World country = lazy bums taking our money

We know they demonize Europe, like to talk tough about China and obviously boo the mention of Mexico. Is there a foreign country that a republican debate audience would not boo?

George Romey was born in Mexico after his kin moved there to evade prosecution for polygamy.

MItt's dad moved to the United States, where Mitt was born (or so they say), thus making Mitt an Anchor Baby?

Those who were booing will have some serious cognitive dissonance to resolve upon learning of these facts.
