No Jon Voight, Romney's family hasn't
Last night flipped through and caught the idiot Jon Voight struggling to try and bring the birther issue up on CNN. Watch the video and you can see him struggling to try and shout that Obama was born in Africa.
Instead he decides to go on about how Romney's family is the "true American" family that "has always followed the true American way . ."
No Jon that is not true.
Romney's family goes back to the extreme polygamy wing of the Mormon Church. Not all Mormons embraced polygamy willingly and some were shamed or coerced to do so. Many were happy to stop polygamy when the church started to discourage it and then banned it altogether
Some radical polygamists broke with the Church and went to Nevada, Arizona and Mexico to defy US laws against polygamy. Romney's great grand parents were part of that extreme radical movement

(George) Romney's grandparents were polygamous Mormons who fled the United States with their children due to the federal government's opposition to polygamy.[1] His maternal grandfather was Helaman Pratt (1846–1909), who presided over the Mormon mission in Mexico City before moving to the Mexican state of Chihuahua and who was the son of original Mormon apostle Parley P. Pratt (1807–1857).[2][3] In the 1920s, Romney's uncle Rey L. Pratt (1878–1931) played a major role in the preservation and expansion of the Mormon presence in Mexico and in its introduction to South America.[
Romney's parents, Gaskell Romney (1871–1955) and Anna Amelia Pratt (1876–1926), were American citizens and natives of Utah. They married in 1895 in Mexico and lived in Colonia Dublán in Galeana in the state of Chihuahua (one of the Mormon colonies in Mexico) where George was born on July 8, 1907.[1][3][6]
Here is Voight's transcript and the video with Piers Morgan whose on such a threadbare budget doesn't have the staff to fact check what his interlocutors are feeding him, leaving us with the question "Does CNN have Talent?".

As the race for the GOP nomination grows more competitive with each caucus, on Wednesday Piers Morgan invited actor Jon Voight to share his political views. In his first interview since publicly endorsing Mitt Romney, the Academy Award winner explained why he backs the Republican front-runner:
"He's a fellow who shoots from the hip. He's a very charitable fellow as you probably know. And he's warm, honest. He's got great virtues."
According to Voight, Romney's values can be traced back through generations: "He is a true American. He loves America. And his entire family has always followed the true American way of hard work and success."
As the sit-down continued, Morgan asked the Hollywood legend why Romney hasn't been all that accessible of late: "Can you put a good word in, because he won't come on again," said Morgan. "And I'm not sure why."
Voight promised to do his best: "I don't know. I'll talk to him about you."
It is stunning how ignorant Jon Voight is. He clearly is a racist who has lost his ability to think rationally.
I don't think that all of Romney's ancestors sins should be laid at the feet of Mitt Romeny, but if you start to remythologize that dispicable history into being the "true American way" then don't be surprised when the grenade blows up in front of you.
Leaving the US in order to avoid complying with the law of the US is not the "true American way"..
