“I try to be as accurate as I can be,” he (Mitt Romney) said Thursday.

  • Nonetheless, Romney faced snickers in April after his staff said he had been hunting on only two occasions despite his telling a New Hampshire voter, “I’ve been a hunter pretty much all my life.” Romney later said he had hunted more than twice but only for “small varmints” and that he did not own a gun or have a hunting license.
  • During the same town hall meeting, Romney also cast himself as a reluctant politician, focusing instead on his 25-year business career and stint helping to resurrect the financially troubled 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.
    “When I came home, some people in the Massachusetts Republican Party encouraged me to run for office and said, `We need somebody who can win and who can fix Massachusetts,’” Romney said.
    Romney returned to Massachusetts from Utah on Sunday, March 17, 2002. He declared he was running for governor on Tuesday, March 19, just hours after his fellow Republican, acting Gov. Jane Swift, announced she was yielding to the Romney juggernaut.
    “I’m in,” he said roughly 48 hours after returning to Massachusetts. “The bumper stickers are printed, the Web site’s going up. The papers are going in today.”

George Romney, Mitt Romney’s Daddy

Romney never saw father on King march

Mitt Romney acknowledged yesterday that he never saw his father march with Martin Luther King Jr. as he asserted in a nationally televised speech this month, and historical evidence shows that Michigan’s Governor George Romney and the civil rights leader never did march together.

Romney said his father had told him he had marched with King and that he had been using the word “saw” in a “figurative sense.”

“If you look at the literature, if you look at the dictionary, the term ‘saw’ includes being aware of in the sense I’ve described,” Romney told reporters in Iowa. “It’s a figure of speech and very familiar, and it’s very common. And I saw my dad march with Martin Luther King. I did not see it with my own eyes, but I saw him in the sense of being aware of his participation in that great effort.”

But historical evidence, including news accounts at the time, shows that George Romney never marched with King, though he supported King’s agenda.

How can you believe Mitt Romney? Romney is a LIAR who has been “OUTED” as such over and over:

Add this one to the list of Flip-Flops, Lies and Oddities:

Remember:

Mitt Romney will say and do anything to be elected President. Flap will NEVER vote for Romney and would lead the GOP into a 40 plus state loss in November 2008.

Look at how the Democrats are already pointing to Romney’s truthfulness and veracity:

Who will be the first candidate “ON AIR” (after Christmas for sure) with Romney’s Lies, Flips and Inconsistencies? When they do he will SINK like a stone.

    Martin Luther King would have supported gay marriage. For the truth about gay marriage check out our trailer produced to educate & defuse the controversy. It has a way of opening closed minds & creates an interesting spin on the issue: http://www.OUTTAKEonline.com The truth will set them free…

    Charlotte, Im not to sure whether Martin Luther should have. Because at the time his legitimacy would have been destoryed because a lot less people would have supported him then than now. Anyway the guy is a legend.

    News just in:

    POLITICO
    By: Mike Allen
    http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1207/7524.html#commentsform
    Shirley Basore, 72, says she was sitting in the hairdresser’s chair in wealthy Grosse Pointe, Mich., back in 1963 when a rumpus started and she discovered that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and her governor, George Romney, were marching for civil rights — right past the window.

    With the cape still around her neck, Basore went outside and joined the parade.

    “They were hand in hand,” recalled Basore, a former high-school English teacher. “They led the march. We all swung our hands, and they held their hands up above everybody else’s.”

    She remembered the late governor as “extremely handsome.”

    Until this week, that was just a vivid memory for a sweet retiree who now lives in Pompano Beach, Fla.

    But Basore’s memory became important this week when news accounts questioned the recollections of the late Michigan governor’s son, Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts governor.

    News stories suggested that Romney was exaggerating. It turns out that he may not have attended the Grosse Pointe march, but it certainly happened.

    The campaign posted citations quoting one author as writing that “George Romney made a surprise appearance in his shirt sleeves and joined the parade leaders.”
    Stephen Hess and David S. Broder also wrote about the march in their 1967 book, “The Republican Establishment: The Present and Future of the G.O.P.”

    Basore said she was very angry about how the issue has been covered on cable television.

    “This very arrogant guy on TV questioned Mitt Romney, and I marched with them,” Basore said. “I hope that the campaign demands an apology. I want him to publicly apologize to me. That was a personal insult, and an insult to Mitt Romney.”

    Basore said she called the campaign, and the campaign supplied her contact information.

    Another witness, Ashby Richardson, 64, of Massachusetts gave the campaign a similar account.
    “I’m just appalled that the news picks this stuff up and say it didn’t happen,” Richardson, now a data-collection consultant, said by phone. “The press is being disingenuous in terms of reporting what actually happened. I remember it vividly. I was only 15 or 20 feet from where both of them were.”

    But, it does not explain Mitt lying about what he “saw” – because HE didn’t see anything.

    Romney has trouble with the facts.
