"I saw my father march with Martin Luther King."Unfortunately, that never happened. The Boston Phoenix reports that although Romney stated that in his "Religion" speech in College Station, TX and again to Tim Russert, it just wasn't something that really happened. The Boston Phoenix reports an update to its earlier article: "A spokesperson for Mitt Romney now tells the Phoenix that George W. Romney and Martin Luther King Jr. marched together in June, 1963 -- although possibly not on the same day or in the same city."
Shades of the spin doctors explaining away what Bush said with the sanitized and vetted version of what his handlers wish he had said!
Romney wants the Republican religious right to accept him as one of them - racism and all - but he doesn't want the independent voters to consider him as personally racist. Like his stance on abortion - Romney will say whatever he thinks the immediate audience he is speaking to will buy, and he leaves it to his handlers to deal with his many, many inconsistencies. It has left most of us wondering what Romney stands for. Who is he really?
Actually that isn't that hard to answer. Romney is another rich man who wants to cap his career with the trophy of becoming President of the U.S. He believes that he deserves it, and he'll say or do anything that will get him that trophy.
He believes that really strongly. Nothing else. Just that he is rich and entitled. He'll say anything - believe anything - hallucinate anything - to get what he wants.
