I have written here before that Romney’s pro-abortion stance during his run for Governor of Massachusetts, given the Mormon church position on abortion, was a ploy to get elected and that rather than an epiphany in office that changed him to a staunch pro-lifer he simply reverted to his long held true beliefs abandoned ever so briefly for political convenience. Well, his Martin Luther King fabrication goes right down that same path. From the Boston Globe: “Mitt Romney went a step further in 1978 with the Boston Herald. Talking about the Mormon Church and racial discrimination, he said: “My father and I marched with Martin Luther King Jr. through the streets of Detroit.”
Not only did he never personally march with Martin Luther King apparently his father never did either. In his other fabrication, that he saw his father march with Martin Luther King, he now wants us all to redefine ‘saw’ not unlike the Clintonesque parsing of the meaning of ‘is’. We don’t really need to burden our nation, in this most important office, with another man to whom the truth is a seldom visited nuisance useful only if in so using it your cause is advanced.
This man is a crass opportunist who has absolutely no place in the ranks of those seeking the presidency. He should stop immediately. If anyone who has endorsed him persists in that endorsement then you have the measure of them as well.
