The myth of George Romney

[Luddly Neddite]

Making Mitt: The Myth Of George Romney

Everyone agrees: Mitt Romney is not like his father.

The late Michigan governor and 1968 presidential candidate George Romney is remembered as a principled man of spontaneity and candor. His example is regularly invoked by both admirers of his son's disciplined campaign style and critics of Mitt's back-and-forth pandering. George, it is said, told the truth about the Vietnam War before it was popular to do so, with an unfortunately worded comment about “brainwashing” by U.S. government officials that cost him the 1968 Republican presidential nomination. “Mitt learned at an impressionable age that in politics, authenticity kills,” historian Rick Perlstein wrote in Rolling Stone earlier this year. “Heeding the lesson of his father's fall, he became a virtual parody of an inauthentic politician.”

If the stories about George Romney are true, he would be very ashamed of his son's dishonesty. His hiding of tax returns ......... Shameful and the opposite of his father's honesty. And, Mittens' protesting the protesting of the Vietnam (not) war - so easy to hide out in Paris while others did their duty.

The list is pretty much endless. Obviously, integrity skipped a generation. Makes on wonder about Mittens' sons. Are they low life pandering liars like Mitt?

You do realize just calling Romney a liar really doesnt make him one, right?

When the facts support it... Yes, it does..

Although being a religious zealot like yourself.. Facts are irrelevant, right?

Disgsuting thread.. Using a man's late father against him. DESPISCABLE but nothing new for certain librul posters here who have no bottom.

You guys sure did not have a problem with using Barack's dad for political talking points.

OH, I guess that's different... Right? I thought double standards were bad..

People have used Obama's father's own positions as talking points.

Here the OP is taking gutless notion of being able to guess what Mitt's dead father would think of him today.

If you dont see the difference, then I question even your basic ability to look at a given topic with objectivity.

 

[Some Guy]

Romney's un-authenticness reminds me a lot of the current sitting president. They're similar in that respect: you really can't trust much of what either says. They'll basically tell you what you want to hear in order to try to grab votes.

Ah, yes.. So declaring that Obama's dad would be happy with his sons "Socialist, anti-colonial" views (A blatant lie).. Is, somehow, different?

Right..

If you dont see the difference, then I question even your basic ability to look at a given topic with objectivity.

I do not necessarily agree with the post, but I find hypocrisy, well, disgusting.

You guys who????? I've never even discussed Barack Obama's dad nor will I.. I don't need to. He's a totally inept and incompetent President without SLIMING in the gutter. My mother passed .. I wouldn't want someone using my pain and saying those kinds of horrible things. Selling your soul for what??

Problem is facts dont support it.

But then when have you ever been concerned with facts?

So you think we are arguing that Obama's dad would be ashamed of Obama? I dont think I've ever seen anyone argue that.

Then stop being a hypocrite. Fixes alot of problems.

And if you hate hypocrisy so much, how the heck can you support Obama? The man is nothing but pretend and faking his way through the Presidency.

Does Obama disagree with his father's past positions? In this case we would be talking about his positions, not as in the OP projecting how Mitts father would feel about him. See the difference?

Leave it to Stephanie for a great, inarticulate contribution.
