Making Mitt: The Myth Of George Romney
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?
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.
