Romney asked about the Mormon Church's racist past

And implies that we shouldn't be worried because his dad marched with MLK.

Three newspapers have tried and failed to find evidence of the two men marching together. The Boston Phoenix first checked Romney's statement and concluded it was false. Subsequent examinations by the Detroit Free Press and the Boston Globe found no news stories linking the two men to the same event.

That doesn't mean that Anglo-Saxon Romney is not a racist.

5. Doesn't mean

that he is, either.

There are PLENTY of reasons not to vote for Romney. For him PERSONALLY.

I never understood dragging what OTHER people did, family or not, into these conversations.

3. his dad spent the last half of his life promoting volunteering

his dad was also one of the architects of public housing.

i think his dad would be disappointed of what his son has become.

4. Once again, he always fails to talk about HIMSELF

When asked about himself, he answers the question with a response about someone else. The only time he says "I" is when he utters the same bullshit about the time when he was "in charge of the Salt Lake City Olympics".

During any other time before or after that, he doesn't exist.

It's just something that he says, you know, the way one does when trying to look like one cares.

Willard is actually the son of Charlton Heston. Another good-looking empty-headed fool.
