So yesterday, Mitt went to Miami to try to apologize to all the old people for Ryan trying to kill them all.

They didn’t take it too well, so he tried another tactic – sew up the drug trafficker vote!  And it would have worked out just fine, but, dammit, convicted felons can’t vote in Florida.

A campaign stop by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in Miami on Monday was held at a restaurant owned by a convicted drug trafficker.

Romney, hoping to get support from the Cuban-American community in Miami, held an event at El Palacio de los Jugos, famed for its tropical juices, fruits and Cuban-style snack food.

Court documents show restaurant owner Reinaldo Bermudez pleaded guilty in 1997 to one count of conspiracy to distribute cocaine. The case in federal court in Miami led to a three-year prison sentence for Bermudez.

Bermudez got caught importing over a ton of cocaine from Trinidad  with some colleagues known as “Fat Boy,” “Ali Baba,” “Skeletor,” “Mogley” and “Buckwheat,” which just sounds like your average Republican board room.

Now, you’d think this was just a simple mistake, but Bermudez says it was no mistake.

The New Times report quoted Bermudez as saying the Secret Service vetted everything about him when the campaign asked to use his restaurant, one of several he owns throughout Miami-Dade County.

“They absolutely knew about my record,” Bermudez told the New Times. “The Secret Service checked everything. was not a problem. Everybody deserves a second chance.”

Everybody?  You mean even old, sick people who need Medicare?

Oh, not them.  Okay, sorry I mentioned it.
