George Romney, born on polygamist colony, touted as immigrant success

>>Mitt Romney’s son, Craig Romney, made an unusual pitch to Latino voters Thursday, drawing on his late grandfather, George Romney, born into a Mexican polygamist colony, as an example of immigrant success.

"It’s easy to forget that the story of my father’s success begins with the story of two immigrants — my grandfathers — who came to this country with little more than hope in the opportunity of America," Craig Romney said in his speech to the Republican National Convention.<<

THIS is the story we should be talking about for the next couple of days. I am telling you, I live DEEEPPPP in the Bible Belt. THIS will bother people. By itself it is a big problem for a lot of people, added to the fact that they are trying to spin Romney's life into some immigrant fairy tale, it goes with all the other lies and spins and starts to not only break the camel's back, but completely obliterate the camel altogether.

THIS is the story from last night. NOT the empty chair.

1. THIS is what we should be plastering all over Facebook. THIS is what the average person is going

to understand and briefly care about. And it is the kind of thing that will STICK in their heads. If you don't think that people are uneasy about the Mormon thing, you are wrong. People are just now starting to pay attention. Up til now it has only been people like US that have been watching this whole circus. From here on out a broader, less politically motivated audience is going to start trying to catch up.

The best part is that THEY brought this subject to the forefront.
